   4.6(47 reviews)social scene

   why it ranked: Cinnamon Tree thrives as a social hub for students ready to invest in their community, with a strong ward structure and consistent programming that keeps things lively without the chaos. The complex sponsors movie nights, ward activities, sports in the quad, and creates natural gathering spots where neighbors actually become friends.

As one resident noted, "There are frequent movie nights, ward activities, sports in the quad or at the nearby field, and other invitations to join groups of friends on their adventures!" The payoff is a genuinely welcoming community.
