Critical

Maintenance needs improvement

All staff are great. Maintenance is at best lacking. Building and grounds are mostly clean.

Overall pleased

Positive: good security at entry point because 24-hour staffing at reception desk controls access, similar to a gated community. Attentive desk staff promptly advises residents when packages are received. Negative: elevators are not cleaned often enough although hallways and other public areas receive regular attention.

Peaceful, and quiet

Quiet, Peaceful Maintenance very helpful, my apartment is spacious apt.. I am very comfortable and thus far have no complaints March will be 2 years since I moved in.. I am very independent and go about on my own, although they offer various activities for the residents such as BINGO, food shopping trips, monthly Birthday parties and Holidays Festivities, I am especially grateful that it’s a pet friendly facility and I was able to move in with my cat! Also ample parking space it’s a relief!

Peaceful place to live

On rent increase most of us here live on a fixed income, and just knowing that after the year lease is about to expire our rent will be increased, its very stressful!!! We are seniors and i think most of us deserve a b A break, not living for free, but on the rent increase. However, I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far
