Reviews

RIght Next to the Highway

Pros

The building was mostly clean, with minimal pests and bike storage.

Cons

The neighbors are mostly friendly but one kept garbage right outside their door which led to ants all over the building even up to the 3rd floor.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

nice amenities and lots of space, run of the mill mgmt issues

Pros

Left as new management was taking over, but the unit was recently renovated (dishwasher, new appliances, truly nice space!) A lot of families in the building and it was nice getting to know everyone. Very convenient location for trains and groceries.

Cons

Packages were often stolen and management did little to stop this. There was also a huge leak in the ceiling that took a while for old mgmt to respond to. I believe they had just gotten a new roof so not sure how it is now.The new management company was based in NJ and a little hard to get in touch with.
