Miss Kelee was amazing. During my tour she answered all of my questions and made me feel like all of my needs will be taking care. I can’t wait to follow up so I can move in. Thanks Miss Kelee!

Wonderful Management
11/3/25
Miss Kellee was very welcoming when I first came to tour the property. Her kindness is one of the reasons I moved in soon after. It is always nice to run into her, and she is always willing to help with my concerns.

Seemless Move-In and Great Place to Live
5/20/25
From initial inquiry about availability to my actual move-in day everything was easy, communication was great, and there were no issues or concerns. Great overall experience. Kelee, the property manager, especially went above and beyond to expedite the move, which is much appreciated because I’ve experienced moves in the past where the property management staff is completely unhelpful or even antagonistic or retaliatory. That is far from the case here, and I’d like to thank Kelee especially for... not just making this moving process seemless and efficient but also making me feel so welcome upon my arrival on the mov -in date for my apt.

Amazing place to call home
11/25/24
I lived at Fairfax apartments for 3 years before my recent move due to a site relocation. Kelee, the property manager, is exceptional and goes above and beyond to take care of the residents at the apartment building. I could not have asked for a better living experience! Routine maintenance requests are promptly addressed. Great rooms and great location. I highly recommend with confidence.
