Comfortable Bedrooms and Private Outdoor Space
Bedrooms are bright and generously sized, with tall windows, recessed lighting, and plenty of outlets. Select units include sliding glass doors with transom windows that open onto a private balcony. Each home has its own energy-efficient LG heat pump system, so you control heating and cooling room by room.
