Alexa at the leasing office has been helping me throughout the entire signing process and even gave me the tour that made me apply for these apartments the same night. The complex is so beyond clean and well-kept for it being a majority of college students living there. The closets are spacious which was super important when finding the right apartment, and there is so much storage in every room. I can't wait to move in.

Pretty quiet neighborhood and staff is very nice and helpful. It is a little expensive for a small space, but overall a great place to live. I love that it has a gate.
