Did you like The Kirkwood’s model unit?  Someone else really liked it because they’re now down to 1 unit!

 
I got a chance to talk with Trina Braafhart today–she’s the property manager at The Kirkwood.  She told me that there is only two units left there available to lease, one of which is the model unit.
