If an item in your home needs repair, you can easily submit a maintenance request through the Resident Experience app. Simply log in, select “Service Request,” provide details about the issue, and submit it directly to our on-site maintenance team.  Requests are automatically logged and prioritized based on urgency. For emergencies, please call the leasing office number and follow the prompts for immediate assistance.

Because our community uses key fobs and the Brivo mobile access app, lockouts should be very rare. We encourage all residents to keep their fob accessible and ensure their Brivo app is active to avoid any issues.  In the event your fob or mobile access is not working, please contact the emergency maintenance line for immediate assistance so our team can help you regain access as quickly as possible. 

Move-In / Move-Out

Because this is a brand-new apartment community, your home has never been lived in. Prior to your move-in, our team will complete a final quality inspection to ensure everything is in perfect working order.  We thoroughly clean the apartment, test all appliances, plumbing, HVAC systems, lighting, and address any final touch-ups needed from construction. Our goal is to make sure your new home is pristine, fully functional, and ready for a seamless move-in experience.
