We toured the building yesterday with Rhone. She answered all our questions and provided great insight into what living there would be like. We also had the pleasure of meeting Megan the property manager. Both women were great representatives for not only Griffis South Waterfront but Griffis Residential. A corporation that really believes in providing a great environment for their tenants to call home. Given that, we are willing to wait months for the apartment we like to become available.

An incredible attention by Emily who is super nice, smart and very receptive!!! She's been of enormous help and class. I've never had such an amazing experience with apartments ever before. Griffis is clean, their package system works very beautifully. The neighbors are all nice and happy people. Everyone from the staff is always smiling. We also have a cup of coffee together from time to time.
The lobby area and tea are amazing.
Keegan is super fast and great. Rhone is also very nice!!
Griffis staff is extremely reliable, friendly and special.
Congrats for the GREAT work!
