Apartments at Canter boast a variety of luxury upgrades, including quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, tile backsplashes, designer fixtures and finishes, and hardwood-style flooring. Units also feature walk-in closets, walk-in showers, quartz vanity tops, and full-size washers and dryers.
