I really enjoy living here most of the time, the biggest problem I have ran into would be insect/roach problems. Otherwise, it has been pretty solid.

Of course! Here’s a solid, thoughtful review you can use or adapt:

?

I’ve really enjoyed living in this apartment and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-maintained home. The unit itself is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with modern finishes and plenty of natural light. The building is quiet and secure, and the amenities are a great bonus — especially the [pool/gym/common areas, if applicable].

Location-wise, it’s incredibly convenient, close to...
[mention nearby highlights like grocery stores, parks, restaurants, or public transport]. Maintenance requests are handled quickly and efficiently, and the management team is professional, friendly, and always responsive.

Overall, this apartment has been a wonderful place to live — both the apartment and the community feel safe, welcoming, and well cared for.

Want me to tailor it for short-term/long-term stay, luxury, budget-friendly, or mention any specific features?

The Connection has great amenities and a convenient location. It is a few minutes from Publix, Aldi, Target, etc (making it very nice option for students without cars) and there are two shuttles to take you back and forth between campus 7 am-6 pm on weekdays, as well as downtown shuttle and game day shuttles later in the night on weekends. New management has significantly improved the property and made many positive changes such as refreshing areas like gym, pool and clubhouse. The new... maintenance staff is excellent! It is generally very quiet in and around the complex. Parking is decent - with free and paid parking options. All units come furnished. If you’re looking for unfurnished options, check out Abbey West a few minutes away. As far as actually living here, I think everyone's experiences are slightly different from unit to unit, building to building and roommate to roommate.
