If you need an affordable apartment in a quiet and family-friendly atmosphere, then check out our two complexes - Cardinal Court and 300 Shelbourne Drive.

The complexes also offer handy laundry facilities, an activity center with computers, nice playground equipment, volleyball courts, and staff that are available 24/7 - all at a rate you can afford. You won't get all the "bells and whistles" like whirlpools or hot tubs, but you won't pay for them either.
