Overall great experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
The amenities are great, including the gym, in-unit dishwasher, and in-unit laundry (though I understand not everyone in the building has these. There’s a pool but I’ve never actually used it. The building staff is very friendly and attentive. The place is very clean and spacious. Overall I’ve loved living here!
Cons:
The elevators have had some issues from time to time. I also had a leak when I first moved in coming from my bedroom window. It took awhile for them to figure out what was causing it, but they eventually did and were able to fix it.
Advice to owner:
None

Pros:
Front desk and maintenance staff are great, super responsive and friendly.

The management. They are indifferent and dismissive. Do not seem interested in retaining residents.
Advice to owner:
Re-train your office management staff in hospitality.
