Student friendly living !! Middle of downtown and all inclusive . Great for your first apartment if you’re a student at VCU or if it’s your first apartment starting out

Not a very good overall experience, however, some issues have been discussed. Would consider living there again as it seems new management does communicate unlike the previous management team.

Lived here for a while , great place to rent for students who need affordable to live. All utilities are included and that’s a huge plus considering the cost of rent these days

I haven't lived here in almost a year. When I was there I had nothing but troubles. New management now. I can't speak for them. Hopefully they're able to turn the place around.
