Community Updates
Regular lawn mowing, shrub cutting, and weed control will continue in the coming months. For your comfort and well-being, please keep your windows and patio doors closed during the day while the landscapers work. This helps prevent pollen, allergens, and noise from entering your apartment, ensuring a more pleasant living environment for you.
The Quarterly Fire alarm and building sprinkler testing was just completed in June, and we are in the process of repairing all the deficiencies found during the inspection.
