I’ve been living at Castle Pointe Apartments for a year, and it has been a wonderful experience. The place is incredibly quiet and has a lovely environment. I especially want to commend the maintenance team—they are incredibly prompt. I submit a request today, and someone is usually here for repairs or inspections the very next day.

I've been living here for going on 3 years now, and I really have no complaints. This is pretty spectacular considering every other apartment complex I've lived in, has had issues left and right. In fact here, I've had plenty of positive experiences, which feels really uncommon when living in apartments, but not at Castle Pointe, apparently!
