STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS
Former Tenant
Pros:
Near Herbert Von King Park
Cons:
Like everyone else has stated, if you can find somewhere else, do so. Also, if you can't find anywhere else, still don't rent here. Moses Cowan has some sort of situation with the resident on apt. 1 so he's there at all hours of the night, and he's absolutely going to gaslight you for anything that goes wrong in the apartment. Pest Control problems (Mice and Ants), electrical issues, the Optimum installation (the only internet option) to his "specifications" are never correct, and the list goes on. Team MNC Development is solely Moses Cowan, and you're almost certainly not getting your Security Deposit back if you rent here.
