You might appreciate parts of several places but are unsure which one is the ideal fit. The best way to decide is by checking things out in person. When visiting, reflect on the following factors:

  • Location
  • Lifestyle fit
  • In-unit features
  • Community amenities
  • Apartment layout

Do you have sufficient closet space? Do you like the team members? Make a pros and cons list to help sort things out. Be sure to read reviews from current and former Residents.
