Loved it!

We lived here for 3 years. Tyhesha, the property manager, is very responsive and literally on top of everything! Maintenance team is awesome. Highly recommend!

Property Manager at Orchard Gardens, Responded To This Review

Thank you so much for your 5-Star review of our community as well as the "shout-out" to our on-site Property Manager and Maintenance Team! We sincerely appreciate you! JCMLiving Resident Services Team

Terrible Maintenance

Filthy hallways. Rent rises by $70 a year. They get you by posting specials, after that. You get screwed if you're planning on renewing lease. No assigned parking. Very little heat provided. Neighbors are buying space heaters. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY with this place.
