Awesomeness is what is. I want to retire there. What I saw in the apt. Was enough to make me breathless, but so was the price.elderly people don’t make this kinda income. Very lovely but Realistically, too expensive. If they could do something with Lowering the rent, it could truly be a keeper.You would like to live there without worrying about being put out later on because you can’t afford the rent.very nice manager, She was so Friendly and knowledgeable and courteous to.
