Moved here back in August and so far so good, Laura was very helpful and kind. The area is very nice and quiet and family oriented, neighbors all seem to be very hardworking and pleasant. Ruben in maintenance came to help me solve an issue with my microwave and was very polite…
Good place to live. My parents have been living here for a year, once they had an issue with their boiler and months later an issue with the AC, in both situations maintenance department have been really helpful and solved both issues in the same day.
Ruben from Maintainace assisted me at 11pm when my AC went down. He was kind to fix it and ensured everything was working properly and gave me piece of mind. Awesome service!
The maintenance staff works hard to keep the property well maintained and clean. Ruben makes sure to do his work in a professional and friendly manner.
