Testimonials
Since I've moved in the staff has been really good. I like how close I am to the highway, and there are a couple of restaurants I can walk to. I had to ask maintenance to repair my toilet and they took care of me quickly. I'd recommend it here!

I am currently living in a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath townhouse, and I’ve had a great experience so far. The unit is very spacious and budget-friendly, which is hard to find these days. Before moving in, I toured several other apartments that were more expensive but offered less space and poor lighting. In contrast, this apartment gets plenty of natural sunlight and has a very pleasant atmosphere.

The times I visit the office with any issues they take care of my complaints in a timely manner. I have recommended Cedar to my friends and they are happy also. If I could do more than 5 stars I would!
