I've been with Walnut Capital for two years now and I couldn't recommend a better leasing company! The landlords are extremely responsive. Any time my apartment requires maintenance, someone is almost always in the next day to fix whatever is needed.

We are very happy with our University Commons apartment. The property management team is very thorough, professional, and prompt. We are also impressed with the maintenance staff. The few times we've needed their help they have also been professional and prompt. This is our first apartment and we could not imagine a better experience!
