    Couldn't be happier...

    You won't regret renting here! Especially if you appreciate:
    1. A friendly, helpful staff
    2. Beautiful scenery / courtyard (with a picnic table & grilling area) -- feels like a small, ivy-covered college campus -- very well-maintained
    3. Great location...Very convenient to both downtown & Uptown (along the #18 bus route between downtown & not sure where!)
    4. Great location...Very convenient to both I-94 and I-35W
    5. Parks nearby
    ******
    Not everything is perfect! Here are the only drawbacks:
    1.
    … Parking can sometimes be difficult on Friday eves, Saturdays & Sundays (due to the museum and children's theater)...The most I've had to walk is about a block...So, still not a big deal. Annoying when you have groceries, though.
    1.5.....Garage parking has a long waiting list (the last I knew)....and the spaces are TIGHT! Hasn't been an issue for me to not have a parking space, though...
    2. Cell reception is not very good (I've had both AT&T and Verizon and sometimes calls get dropped. Guests who've been over, though, haven't had issues, so maybe it's just me!)
    .....Can't think of anything else!
    OH...MORE GOOD....
    ** Laundry areas always clean and typically available (Sunday nights can be tricky, as anywhere!)
    ** Storage locker area is clean & well-kept (All were taken in my building, so had to find one in the next building over...no big deal...it's storage, after all!)
    ALL-IN-ALL...
    A great place to live! It's quiet and respectful. My neighbors (after many years) have all been nice (except one, years ago, who didn't last long...)
    You'll like it here!
    ** AGAIN...THE STAFF IS AMAZING!! **
