    Kylee and Hannah made the application and move in process very simple. They answered my many questions, were super friendly and welcoming! I moved in about a week ago and love the community so far. It’s very quiet overall, well kept up and diverse.

    Excellent storage, neighbors are nice. The dog park needs improvement, like mulch. The bare ground dirt is not good for a dog park. I love the unit itself, but it did have a weird smell when I moved in. Also the sink and shower in the bathroom both had cloggedddddddd drains and the sink faucet does not work. Bathroom tub did not have a drain plug so I can’t take a bath. However, maintenance team is so helpful, leasing staff is amazing as well! Kylie is the best and was sooooo helpful. Hopefully these little things can be improved soon and this will be an excellent complex to live in!
