There is also a website where you can submit complaints or concerns regarding the condition of the roads, or other driving hazards.

She goes to meet Ursula, the Sea Witch, to strike a deal, but Ursula has bigger plans for this mermaid and her father.

I'm very excited to be reading the Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch as our book clubs selection for this month.

You can also find more information about him at the website: www.thelastlecture.com.

We'll be meeting on Monday, May 24th at 6:30pm to discuss the book.

New Pricing on our Guest Suite and Clubroom!

Did you know that we have a guest suite? The guest suite is a furnished three-bedroom apartment that we keep for our residents to use when you have family or friends visiting! Our pricing is more affordable than a hotel and your guests will feel at home rather than in the impersonal setting of a hotel. Complete with two queen-size beds and one twin-size bed, our guest suite will comfortably accommodate 5 people. We also have cable and internet set up in the guest suite! What a deal!

Our guest suite also has a wonderful dining setup – use it to host dinner parties in a comfortable setting, without having to worry about clean up the next day! It is only $125 to rent our guest suite for the first night, and goes down to $75 a night for every night after that. Please inquire about special pricing for stays over one week, we do offer additional discounts for longer stays!

Additionally, our clubhouse is available to rent for any events you may want to host. At only $50 a night, it is a great space! There is a kitchen with a working stove, ice maker, microwave and refrigerator, as well as a flat screen television in the main room. This space is a great place to have a viewing party for a major sporting event, a movie night, or a television series viewing night!

Would you like your carpets shampooed?

Our carpet cleaning service shampoos your carpets for a minor fee of $30-$35. Just call us and let us know when you would like to have you apartment shampooed and we can set that up for you! That’s $30-$35 for the whole apartment!

We also do monthly drawings for free carpet shampoos for our residents who use our automatic online payment feature. Check out this article for information about how to set that up!

If you would like to schedule a carpet shampoo, please just call the office and let us know when you would like for it to be done! You will just need to drop off a check or money order for the amount before the date scheduled.

Please call us if you have any questions!

There are recycling bins located behind the laundry facilities, as well as between buildings 2 & 3, near the leasing office!
