This well-appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit offers a thoughtfully designed layout with a consistent modern aesthetic throughout. Hardwood-style flooring flows seamlessly across every room, complementing the clean, neutral color palette of white and cool gray tones. The open living area is bathed in natural light from large windows, which also frame views of the surrounding cityscape and treetops — a standout feature of this unit. A smart panel near the entryway adds a contemporary, tech-forward touch. The kitchen is efficiently designed with flat-front cabinetry in a light wood grain finish on top and matte gray below, under-cabinet lighting, a white quartz countertop, a stainless steel single-basin sink, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator, electric range, microwave, and dishwasher. A white tile backsplash ties the kitchen's modern look together. The bedroom is generously sized, featuring two large windows that offer sweeping views of the city skyline and surrounding greenery, filling the room with abundant natural light. The bathroom is clean and minimal, featuring a wall-mounted white vanity, a framed mirror with a floating shelf, and a walk-in tiled shower with a mosaic stone floor — all finished in crisp white tones.

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.
