We are so happy here. The staff is super nice and the residents are respectful and friendly. If something needs a repair, they are here taking care of it the same day. We love the car wash, the valet garbage collection, the Amazon delivery locker room, the workout gym and pinball machines. Even though we don't have a dog, we appreciate the free dog wash salon and the special dog playgrounds. This is a real community and we appreciate being part of it.

Comfortable cottage. It feels like my own home. The walking around the area is a nice mix of some flat and some incline. It is great for older. I can walk to TJMaxx, Chilies, and other eating places. The office staff we have right now are super. They are friendly and helpfu whoever you go into the office.

I can’t yet comment on my full experience as a resident because we just moved in Friday ??- however, I can tell you that our move-in experience has been absolutely amazing. The staff is so kind, so helpful, and so hospitable. Our unit was given to us in wonderful condition. And shout out to Ms. Brittany who was just so warm in our welcome which was much needed because of the stressful transition from our home to this new rental chapter in our family’s life. And Ms. Aniya who was also so attentive to all of our initial comments as well. Thank you to all the staff and we hope to have a great experience here and be a great neighbor to all. It’s really a beautiful property and a well appointed layout.
Property Manager Responded: Welcome to J 501 Estates, and thank you for sharing your move-in experience. We are glad your home was ready and that our team, including Brittany and Aniya, made your transition easier, and we look forward to providing a comfortable, welcoming community.
