    "The Leasing Office is very friendly and extremely helpful. From the application process through movein and beyond, they have answered my many, many questions patiently and with a smile. And my neighbors? After living here for one day, I made four friends and two four-legged ones. Lastly, the location couldn't be better. Everything is on Washington Street or in close proximity. Yes, I think I'm going to be very happy here!"
