"The tenant next to my unit stored his mowing equipment there and also blew off all the grass before he stored it in the unit. My unit next to his was always full of his dead grass. Maybe he show blow his equipment outside of the driveways away from the units. Other then that...My belongings were safe and I would rent there again for the 4th time if I needed. Thank you for your hard work. Sincerely, Zina"

"My parking space was covered by a large tree which gave shade, but the branches stooped too low and scratched my tall van. Needs trimming And when it rained heavy, the area near my van was muddy. Wish it was asphalt, no mud."
