Choose from one- and two-bedroom floor plan options, with layouts designed for comfortable city living and flexible work-from-home routines. Inside each apartment you will find modern features including a in-unit washer and dryer, dishwasher, A/C unit, stainless steel refrigerator, and Italian ceramic tile spacious bathroom. Step outside your front door and you can relax or play a game of pool at The Solveig or get a workout in at the 24-hour fitness center. You’ll also have secure bike storage and a rooftop lounge when you want fresh air and a change of scenery. If you have a dog, the dog wash is a real plus after rainy or muddy walks, and a nearby path leads toward Six Mile Creek for easy outdoor time.

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.
