Looking Back At Last Month
Annual Barbie-Q Summer Games

A little sweetness goes a long way.
Our Market Sweet Treats resident event was all about coming together, enjoying something delicious, and making the best of a week that wasn’t always easy. Even through the power outages, our community showed up with good spirits, sweet treats, and even sweeter company. 🤍
Here’s to neighbors who make the hard days a little brighter.

What Residents are Saying

"I have lived here for the past six years, and I’m finally moving away for college this fall. Ruby, Miseal, Lourdes, Maiya, and everyone who has worked here over the years have been nothing but amazing to me and my mom. The community is such a special part of living here, and I’ve made so many connections and friendships that I will forever cherish and remember. I’m so sad to be moving away this fall, but I’ll always be grateful for the memories and experiences I’ve had here. I promise, even if I ever won the lotto, I’d want to stay here at the Lark! ❤️🙏🏾"

The Good Neighbor
The Golden Rule

Being a Great Neighbor Starts with the Little Things
A wonderful community is built by neighbors who look out for one another. Keeping noise at a considerate level, using designated smoking areas, breaking down boxes before placing them in the trash room, and leaving shared amenities just as you found them helps create a welcoming home for everyone. Thank you for doing your part to keep The Lark clean, comfortable, and enjoyable for all. We appreciate you!
