(Review by Seda Nashkhoeva, made on daughters email.) We had an outstanding experience working with the Sales Director during my sister’s move. He went above and beyond to help us find the perfect apartment, answered all of our questions, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We truly appreciate everything he did and highly recommend working with him! -Seda

We took a tour and absolutely loved it. The building is magnificent! A glorious example of 100-yr-old Art Deco, with some mid-century modern touches, as well as modern amenities that we need. Although the apartments are small, I do not see that as a problem, because I doubt I would spend much time there, due to the wonderful common areas and activities. The only drawback was the lack of parking, but with a bus stop right out back and transport provided for shopping, doctors’ appointments and errands, I doubt I will need a vehicle. This is at the very top of my list, as soon as I can complete wrapping up my current arrangements, I plan to move here.

I enjoy living among others who have lived a little and like me have turned a page to another chapter. I belong to a community now after having lived alone for so many years. The senior staff as well anyone who has manned the front desk have been especially accommodating. Jessica Sanchez, Jonathan Monroe, Melissa, Emily, Johanna, Karina, Victor and others have gone out their to help me and I now express my appreciation.

I truly have nothing but praise for this community. The property is impeccably maintained. Everything feels fresh, modern, and beautifully cared for. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional staff. They are consistently attentive, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the residents’ experience. Every question is met with clarity and care, and they regularly go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels supported and at ease. I would be remiss not to highlight Jonathan, whose professionalism and kindness made a lasting impression on me from the very beginning. His ability to create such a warm, welcoming environment was a decisive factor in my choice to move here. He is always accessible, responsive, and deeply attentive to residents’ needs. It is clear that he truly cares about the well-being and happiness of everyone in the community.

I have a good friend who moved PG Community about six months ago. I came to see him and to take a tour with Johnathan on Friday. Johnathan is best! Make sure he is well paid for the work he does. He greets all residents by name, is well regarded by my friend's family, who helped him make the decision to make the move P.G. Community and receive options for additional services. 👍🏼 After my tour with Johnathan I decided to get on the list to rent an independent living 1 bedroom apartment when one becomes available. Johnathan went over all the different options with me answered all my questions. Can't say enough good about my experience.
