    Good renovated units
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Kept it clean and worked
    Cons:
    Small units and high price hikes
    5 months ago
    Lots of noise and package theft
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, close to trains
    Cons:
    Many stolen packages, noisy neighbors, would often hear dogs barking next door
    Over 1 year ago
    Overpriced, but decent
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors were generally kind. Nice area, even if it is a little boring. Hallways are well maintained.
    Cons:
    Some neighbors complained about unavoidable noise (footsteps, washer running, etc). We went all of winter without having heat in our kitchen/ living room after letting the super know. They didn't do anything about it. Mold growing in shower where we couldn't fix and super did nothing
    Advice to owner:
    Don't raise rent by $600 dollars
    Over 1 year ago
    Great location, rent increasing
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Updated kitchen, laundry in unit, great location
    Cons:
    Landlord not very responsive to maintenance. Took several months to fix the mailbox; had to pick up mail at the post office. Astronomical rent increase.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep good tenants with fair rent increase.

    Great if you need nothing
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This is a wonderful neighborhood and the apartments in this building are renovated and beautiful, if small. Some neighbors are really nice while others are less considerate, but nothing to complain about particularly. Excellent super who lives in the neighborhood.
    Cons:
    If you need *anything* from the landlord/management company, you are wasting your time. The building management is incompetent and rude at best. It's a fine place to live if you never need a major repair or never experience an issue with billing. When you have a problem, though, it's a nightmare to solve.
    Advice to owner:
    Actually answer e-mails/phone and follow up on tenant issues. Complete repairs in a timely manner, not months later. Keep track of billing.

    nice building next to amazing bakery
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - responsive super
    - lobby is kept clean
    - good location
    Cons:
    - can hear dogs from daycare
    - a lot of package theft
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive/sympathetic to tenant complaints
