It offers a superb unit mix of twenty-four (24) 2 bed + 1 bath units. About ±70% of the community are on RUBS program for gas bill reimbursement leaving significant RUBS upside for the remainder of 30% of the units.

Each unit is spacious with open space layout and has been completely upgraded with recessed lighting, luxury wood plank flooring, new kitchen (cabinets and countertops), stainless steel appliances, new bathroom (new tub, new vanity cabinets, new lighting fixtures), in-unit washer and dryer, LED lighting, mirrored closet doors, and much more.
