What They're Saying

"Living here has been such a great experience! Nila from property management and Cesar from maintenance are the absolute best. Any time something comes up, they’re right there to help and always go out of their way to make sure everything is taken care of. It doesn’t feel like one of those faceless property management companies, you actually see them around every day, and they’re always friendly and available. They really make this place feel like home. Couldn’t ask for a better team!" - IL

Did You Know?
❄️ Getting Cozy with Your Fujitsu Unit!
With the beautiful shift in seasons and winter officially here, it’s the perfect time to ensure you’re getting the maximum comfort from your apartment's Fujitsu Mini-Split Unit! Believe it or not, this sleek unit is so much more than just a fan—it's a powerful Air Conditioner and a Heater all in one! If you've been too hot or too cold, you might just be missing one crucial step. To switch modes, grab your remote, press the MODE button, and cycle through the settings until you see the snowflake icon (for cool A/C) or the sun/flame icon (for cozy heat). Once the correct icon is displayed, use the Up/Down arrows to set your desired temperature, and prepare to feel perfectly comfortable! A little know-how goes a long way to making your home your sanctuary! If you need further instructions, let us know. We are happy to help!

Volunteer Days
We Live For These Days!
Last month, teams from The Blake Berkeley and The Lark joined forces for a volunteer day at the local food bank. It was a meaningful chance to support our community, connect with one another, and give back in a hands-on way.
We’re grateful to everyone who showed up with heart and teamwork.
