    Strong but conflicting opinions
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The newly renovated apartments are very nice The water pressure is out of this world, if anything too aggressive for the mornings if you are not a morning person
    Cons:
    The management is absolutely irresponsive You can only get access to the Gym if you are at the management office between 2 and 3 pm on Thursdays to get special access, and whenever it's open it is packed The hallways are nightmarish, there is poop smeared on the carpet that smells like wet dogs for a week after every rain episode.

    Quiet, Spaceous, & Old
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is spacious with plenty of options for laundry with laundry on different floors to the connected buildings. The walls are thick, so sound doesn’t travel easily. Most units are being renovated. Beautiful views of the river (for the apartments facing that way).
    Cons:
    Lousy security. My packages were stolen 3 times. Emailed for them to look at footage and took too long for them to reply. Cut my losses and started shipping my packages elsewhere. The receptionist for management office is very rude if she’s still there.
    Advice to owner:
    Beef up security!

    Take better care of the outside of the building.
