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.

Great place to live

Have been a resident here for over a year. Management is friendly & have never had a any issues with resolving maintenance requests.

2/5/25
Nasty unclean save your money

Save your money, this place has very unprofessional management. They don’t charge a deposit which should be the first red flag. Dirty mouse traps sitting out upon move in. Broken dishwasher that doesn’t close windows that don’t open. This place is a joke and no leasing office on site so goodluck getting anything solved ever!

1/13/25
Wish I could give zero stars

Neglect, neglect and more neglect! Do not rent here unless you like living in dirty, unsafe conditions.
