Unit 202 is a single-floor residence designed with practicality and comfort in mind. The kitchen serves as a central highlight of the space, showcasing warm honey-toned wood cabinetry that lines the walls and provides generous storage throughout. The layout follows a U-shaped configuration anchored by a peninsula counter, which offers additional prep space and creates a natural separation between the kitchen and adjacent areas. Light-toned countertops complement the cabinetry and contribute to a bright, welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size refrigerator, an electric range with coil burners, a built-in microwave, and a stainless steel sink positioned along the peninsula. Overhead, a flush fluorescent light fixture and a recessed spotlight ensure the workspace is well-lit. The neutral-toned walls and light tile flooring keep the space feeling open and easy to maintain. The clean, straightforward design of this residence makes it well-suited for those seeking a no-fuss, move-in-ready living environment with all the essential features thoughtfully arranged on a single, accessible floor.

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.
