Katy and Sarah are the best! The apartments are spacious and beautifully designed. The complex itself is located in a perfect location, along with a very secure entry and exit system. The penthouse and gym are TO DIE FOR!

Worth the wait

My daughter currently lives here for college. Sarah & Katie are very friendly and helpful. Things that need attention are quickly handled. And their communication with tenants is very good. The building is clean and cared for by Kevin & Vickie. We moved her there from Cedar Broad and the difference is night and day. There is always a long waitlist. But if you can wait, it's very worth it.

Great staff and amenities

I just graduated but lived at the square for 3 years. I truly miss the exceptional service now that I’ve graduated. The office staff, especially Sarah and Katie, are always responsive and friendly, making it easy to feel at home. The amenities are consistently clean and well-maintained, and the secure access system gives me peace of mind.
The maintenance team—Kevin and Vickie—are fast, reliable, and always handle requests with a positive attitude. After three years of excellent service, The... Square has truly felt like a community. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-run, safe, and clean place to live!

Best place to live

I’ve had the pleasure of living at the Square for 5 years and I can't say enough about how exceptional the apartment complex staff is. Sarah, Katie, Kevin, and Vickie gave me the feeling from moment I toured that they are committed to providing a comfortable and well-maintained environment for all residents. They are always friendly, approachable, and responsive—whether it's handling maintenance requests or answering questions, they are on top of everything with a positive attitude.
The property... itself is always impeccably cared for. The property is consistently neat and well-kept, with attention to detail in both common areas and the grounds. The team also ensures that any maintenance issues are addressed quickly and efficiently, often going above and beyond to make sure everything is functioning smoothly.
It’s rare to see a staff that takes such pride in the upkeep of a community. Whether it’s through seasonal decorations, regular cleanings, or prompt repairs, it's clear they genuinely care about the living experience here. The sense of community given by this attentive staff makes it a pleasure to call this apartment complex home.
