The Arc is such a beautiful building with a disco type couch in the lobby.. Very nice views on the rooftop. Security is very focus on their job. And also outside Security to make you feel safe.

The apartments are nice, clean and cozy. The staff is the best, especially security. I just love the amenities. The rooftop is so amazing.
Todd M.
I've really enjoyed my time living at ARC. All of the amenities are nice and clean, and my unit was in tiptop shape on move-in. The staff, including maintenance, has been incredibly helpful since day one and is very on top of everything. They were always super friendly and accommodating to any of my issues or questions. If I wasn't moving out of state I would have definitely renewed here!
