Jasmine, and the team was extremely accommodating, and move in was simple and easy. Highly recommend working with the team here to get moved in. Maintenance has been very quick, and professional. My only two gripes are the insulation could be higher to keep loud noise coming from next door neighbors, and the floor cleanliness could have been double checked before I moved in. Simple nonissues, but still recommend so far!

Nice friendly staff and residents. Great to have a gym on site. Many stores nearby including a grocery store next door. Walmart and other stores less than a couple of miles away. Nice apartment complex.

Overall a positive experience. Nice facilities and amenities. Minor inconveniences: ethernet cables had been snipped and maintenance would not fix (had to re-crimp myself); apartment finishings seem fairly cheap (door handles, shower heads). Overall nothing that would cause me to choose anywhere else, it's a nice community with great amenities, friendly fellow residents, and helpful and responsive staff.
