We love the apartment building very much! Everyone in the leasing office is great to work with and we’ve had a great time communicating with them. The building itself is nice, the amenities are good, and the location is awesome

Amazing amenities and management!
Modern kitchen has all the necessities, including washer and dryer! We were lucky to enjoy the quiet inner courtyard from our balcony, with only one neighbour on the side and the breeze form the opening at the corner of the 15th St & J St.
