Very friendly staff. Move-in was super easy. Location is great! Cost is very competitive and room was sparking clean at move-in. Easy application process and very responsive via email.

Everybody is very nice, especially Roz and Felicia. I really appreciate everything that they do for me. Plus, everyone in the building has been very nice since the outbreak of the pandemic.

Overall great experience — the location is unbeatable, and the units are very nice and updates. I wish the gym was a little nicer with Peloton bikes, but that’s alright.

Just had a tour w Roz. She was so nice and patient. The concierge was very nice and welcoming as well which I noticed in my recent apartment hunt is a rarity. At the very least I can tell the staff here is fabulous.

Everyone has been so nice and welcoming. I feel like a lot of the staff know who I am. I love that I can walk to and from work. I love the roof top for meditation purposes. The 2nd floor amenities are great and always maintained well.

The apartment was clean and comfortable. The construction 20 feet from our window was a bit annoying early morning. One of the cabinets with missing a door in the kitchen.

Except, Davelyn Miller, the people of front desk is good. But Davelyn Miller is rude and impolited. I've never been treated so badly even paying a fortune to stay some days. I don`t recomed stay there.

I've lived in the area quite a while and have many friends who do as well. This is the best kept building and management team I have experienced. I greatly appreciate the focus on customer service and making it a great place to live.
