    Good Space, Meh Owner/Management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Decent sized common area. Really soundproof walls between bedrooms. Polite, nice neighbors. Convenient location. Loved that gas was included in rent.
    Cons:
    Roof/ceiling leaked multiple times despite the multiple attempts to fix it. It gave the vibe they weren’t bothering to actually get it fixed. A few mice encounters and several (albeit tiny) cockroach encounters.

    Also would email management about a problem and give availability but then they would suggest a day I did not mention I was available on. Made me feel like they were not reading my email at all. Also tried to renew with a new roommate but was told owner had a “new” rule where roommates had to move in and out together which would have been nice to know about ahead of time. Just kind of gave sleazy vibes.
