Great building, probably overpriced

Pros

In unit washer dryer, great light, modern finishes

Cons

very expensive compared to other neighborhood buildings, especially with the tax abatement fee (they really jack it up after your first year)

Former tenant·2 weeks ago

Excellent Building with Great Location

Pros

I’ve lived here for almost two years and been very happy. The staff is nice and very responsive. The gym is very nice and clean. The apartment is clean with great water pressure and nice natural light from big windows. It’s centrally located.

Cons

The landlord raised the rent somewhat significantly and now only use an AI assistant for communications. I would have liked to have stayed with Equity but needed a bigger space and could not meaningfully engage with Equity to try to finer one.

Advice to the owners

Make a better effort to keep good tenants who want to stay.
