When I first toured this apartment I was in love immediately! The location is so perfect just far enough from the crazy but close enough to still do what you need to do. The amenities are just gorgeous and the STAFF! I can’t get enough of how friendly, helpful, and transparent they are through your entire tour to move-in to living here! Also so many resident events that are thoughtfully planned and scheduled, unlike places I’ve lived before where it seems last minute and there no ahead of time... notice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic staff! Upstairs noise can be a little hard to deal with if neighbors are inconsiderate but overall super clean community with great amenities and townhome style living.

Highly recommend

I absolutely love living at Emerson at Trace! The management and maintenance teams truly make it feel like home. Tisha, the property manager, is incredibly responsive, professional, and always willing to help — she genuinely cares about the residents. Brandon in maintenance is superb! He’s prompt, knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is done right the first time. It’s such a relief to live somewhere where communication is clear and service is top-notch. Highly... recommend!
