I love it. It is so clean. It is not only designed perfectly for the older individuals but also the handicap person. The rent is so reasonable.

Vita Luxury Apartments On Grant in Merrillville, IN
4.0

Overall things have been good here! It's a nice looking place, and the staff have all been very pleasant and friendly. The only real issue we've had is that there were a few things they didn't mention to us before we moved in that they expected us to know to take care of. The maintenance service has also been a bit slow, there have been a few minor fixes I requested the day we moved in that haven't been seen to over a month later. But those are just minor inconveniences, overall it has been a very good place!
