    It's up a very big hill. If you commute, it will take you 10 minutes minimum to get to the main street.

    Lots of amenities but too busy.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good heat, big laundry room, parking if you pay for it, gym and pool.
    Cons:
    The walls are thin so you will hear your neighbors even when you don’t want too. Many tenants have soundproofed their walls to decrease noise level. Neighbors are not friendly. The building is too busy, too many people and things going on like renovations. Big turnover/ always people moving out and moving in. The super is not friendly and you will have to pay for everything including a clogged sink.
    Advice to owner:
    Maybe create activities for neighbors to get to know each other and encourage more friendly interactions among people since people are so cold there.
