What People Are Saying
"The staff members are friendly, competent, and knowledgeable. The upkeep was absolutely spotless. For a place of that size, there wasn’t a speck of dust. I was on a second floor level looking down, and the chandeliers were clean; there was no dust on the lights. The Rooms were light and airy. The sizes were comparable. They have a salon, a small gym, and a beautiful outdoor space. It is in a beautiful neighborhood."
"I toured this place with my mother and was so blown away, I hope to retire here myself. Stunning views of the river and city, trips to the museum, incredible restaurants, everything brand spanking new. It has a theater, swimming pool, pool table, a small gallery, a bar, and best of all, pets allowed. Go visit. It’s truly unforgettable."
"Incredible community with family/service oriented, and knowledgeable team members. Highly recommend."
