I can honestly say that I love my living space. I have a beautiful view with a balcony and other amenities for a great price. I usually am too lazy to leave reviews, but I just really wanted to compliment the maintenance workers in my building who respond to all my requests within 48 hrs (if not the same day!!). I work long hours, and it’s amazing to have people who will handle odds and ends in a timely fashion while away.

I was leaving on the north side when I first visited my friends at Lake Meadows a few years ago, and when I first entered the apartment, I immediately knew that this was the place I want to live automatically at the end of my lease, I moved here at this place, and I'm not planning to leave.

The leasing office was super helpful in getting a place and quickly. Pretty safe semi-gated community. A short walk to the beach and grocery/gym right across the street.
