Now leasing for Fall 2026 - SCHEDULE A TOUR!

To schedule a tour, click on "PROPERTY WEBSITE," then when you get to the property website, click on "SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT." When you arrive for your tour, we will take you to a designated "show unit" that is either 2 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms, or 4 bedrooms. This show unit is not the actual apartment that you will be renting, it is a "typical apartment" to give you a general idea of what our apartments are like. After the tour we will return to our office to discuss additional apartment complexes, floor plans, square footages, locations, and rent amounts that we have to offer. We will show you photos and videos as requested by you. At that point, or at a later date, if you wish to sign a lease we will list your top 3 preferences by apartment complex. In the spring we will notify you of what your actual address will be in August. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 2 BEDROOM APARTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR $1150 to $1200 PER MONTH.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
