“I’m not too pleased with the limited amenities. We pay a good bit for a small gym, no community center/ computer room. The parking garage is very confusing if you have guests coming over. However, I love management. Everyone is so pleasant and timely. It’s just paying $2000 for an apartment that offers very limited amenities.”
