Good place to live could be better maintained
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great value, great location very quiet. Management was responsive if not always the most helpful
Cons:
Management company was very responsive to small issues…ie. Broken appliances, water pressure etc but less so on larger issues. We had a problem with a leaky roof that was never fixed. Overall good experience and our security deposit was promptly returned when we left.

Great place overall
Former Tenant
Pros:
Condo so each unit is independently managed. The door man is great and handles our trash. The building is clean and well run, not perfect but no complaints
Cons:
They turn off the water pretty often to do maintenance on the water tank. The dryers in the basement don’t work well
