Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

This place is OK

Pros

Nice apartment, no vermin or pest issues

Cons

Poor cleanliness and trash management. Sometimes loud neighbors. Bedrooms far too small. Inconsistent management.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Broken front doors - vagrants sleep in lobby

Pros

The apartment was newly remodeled and nicely maintained with nice appliances, high ceilings, nice windows and floors.

Cons

Hot water in the shower is essentially nonexistant. The front doors of the building are broken and never lock, so if you have packages sent to you, they will almost certainly be stolen. People sleep in the lobby in the winter because anyone can get in. How is that allowed?

Advice to the owners

Just take a look around and fix obvious recurring issues. No one’s going to heed that advice but might as well write it down.
