Great gated community. Very safe. Kind neighbors. Fun pool and community club and a great gym. Perfect for squirrel watching with a nice trail to the nearby park. We are even lucky enough to hear frogs most of the year from the nearby pond.

Great staff, nice apartments. Parking needs to be addressed through higher management. Would be nice to see washer and dryers upgrades as you have to dry clothes 2-3 times and runs power bill up.
