from a sailor’s perspective

this place was my first apartment and it was absolutely perfect for my wife and i. due to it being my first apartment, i had a lot of dumb first-apartment questions that i always pestered management with and she always got right back to me within an hour or two, always had excellent encounters with my neighbors, not a single sour moment comes to mind. in terms of being in the navy, this complex is less than 10 minutes away from Great Lakes, and the commute was more than easy to do every single day. if you are a junior sailor this place is seriously perfect for you. you will be able to collect excess BAH due to the low rent, and theres plenty of job opportunities for your significant other nearby. i cannot recommend this complex enough, i have more than enjoyed my time here
