Senior Apartments
I'm currently a resident at Glen Loma Apartments. This facility has parking issues! You only get one parking place for a two bedroom apartment! Which means that there is no guest parking! Additionally, it took two months for me to get assist handles put in the shower. Also, the kitchen is poorly designed.
They really are dog-friendly and have a very nice garden that dogs can run around in. The total dog count at the moment is 7, all of them small. The main problem is that the place has recently changed ownership and the new administration hasn't completely settled in yet. But they are very friendly and I think they are doing as well as they can.
