I wanted to share a review of my residency here. All i can say is WOW. i have lived here for almost 6 years . The Staff here are just phenomenal. Always nice. The maintance team is prompt and respectful and very friendly. Micheal, Don and Ej ROCK STARS. BUT. the review is more in direction to MS. Ronda with NO H. (inside joke) and Ms. Vikki.
