I had an outstanding experience with The Retreat Central Marketplace Apartments, and I have to personally highlight Bree for her exceptional customer service. From the very beginning, Bree was patient, professional, and incredibly understanding, especially with me being an indecisive new resident. I had a lot of questions, went back and forth on options, and needed time to make the right decision. Not once did she rush me or make me feel pressured. Instead, she remained supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. Bree made what could have been a stressful decision feel smooth and comfortable. Her communication was clear, her follow-up was consistent, and she truly made me feel valued as a future resident — not just another lease. Because of Bree and the entire staff at The Retreat, I am extremely happy with my new place. The professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness from the team made all the difference. If you’re considering moving here, know that you’ll be in great hands. Thank you, Bree and The Retreat team, for making this such a positive experience! — A very happy new resident.

Honestly one of the easiest move in’s I’ve ever done. Everything was so quick. Ended up getting my keys a few days earlier bc moving on a Friday was gonna be hard for me. I couldn’t thank Bree enough. I’ve been here a few months and we’re LOVING all the amenities. The trash valet is our FAVORITE. We’re on the 2nd floor and it’s so convenient to just put our trash in the outside bin outside our door and someone comes and gets it. We also have no complaints on noise. All of our neighbors are pretty nice so far. I recommend this place to EVERYONE. also, the front office is always doing games and get togethers for the residents and I love that. We’re excited for the summer time so we can use the gorgeous pool. I hope when y’all are looking for a place you definitely consider this one. Thanks to the front desk & our groundskeepers. Yall are amazing!!!!

Great move in experience. So far we love living here. I’ve had to put in 2 small maintenance repairs and they were here and done before I even closed my phone! Bre is super sweet and very helpful- walks you thru everything. The valet trash is amazing. They communicate with the residents often- and even hold get-to-togethers. The grounds are nice and we love taking walks in the evenings.

I had such a wonderful experience visiting this property! The community is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. The location is perfect—close to everything you need while still feeling peaceful and welcoming. The office staff was incredibly friendly, inviting, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They were helpful, professional, and genuinely seemed to care. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to call home!

Great move-in experience. The front office is professional and organized. Bre was especially helpful — she knows her job, communicates well, and made the process smooth. Maintenance has been absolutely great so far. It takes some “adjusting” to get into the amenities with the gate codes, but I’m sure that will work itself out. We’ll see how my experience here will be, but it’s been enjoyable so far.
