I love living at R&T. The price for my unit is great for the square-footage I'm getting. Management and the front office is always happy to help, and they don't leave you hanging. The location is perfect because we're right in the middle of downtown - I can go on walks and feel safe since we're on a main street, it's a 15 minute walk basically anywhere downtown, and it's very convenient being connected to the skywalk especially when it's cold out. Best place I've ever lived with no plans to move.
