This new apartment complex is on the opposite side of the old Jodon Horse Farm from Jefferson Commons apartments. The complex is popular with students because of its proximity to the shops and restaurants of North Atherton Place. You'll sigh with pleasure as you turn into this forested haven of gorgeous homes.
