I stopped in to check out the place . I am planning to move. I spoke briefly to a woman in the office.<br>There no opening they say, so hopefully a vacancy with come open soon. I'd love to see the imside-😊<br><br>I'll update this if I go back or if I end up moving there.. 😉<br><br>Edited****<br>I thought they had in unit washer and dryers but they don't. Somehow I got that impression before I came to see them. But have you never seen the inside of a unit, I shouldn't have assumed.<br>I really need them in my apartment on days I'm not feeling well. I'm bummed. Really wanted to be near my son. So I'll just have to keep looking! 😔
