Although I’ve only been living here for a short time, my experience has been amazing. Upon move-in, there were just a few minor issues in my apartment, but after putting in a request for maintenance to fix them, everything was perfect within the next week! Also, the front office staff and managers work diligently to ensure my roommates, and I are happy with our new home!

Love it here. I can definitely say that the floor plans HAVE to be one, if not THE, largest 4x4 plans they have in Tally. Huge rooms and apartments are modern looking! The staff is awesome, always doing the most for their residents. Super cheap too. They say you get what you pay for, but Alight goes far beyond the $554 I pay. Not to mention I get all my utilities included in my price.

I recently took around a tour alight. It’s a beautiful complex. My tour guide, Tiara, had good energy and explained everything perfectly. I’m thinking about moving here next spring.
