Pros:
Quiet area, close to transportation
Cons:
Management company is not responsive. Do yourself a favor and Google them before considering this place. The building is mostly quiet depending on who you live next to, but some neighbors can be a nuisance and management doesn’t do much about it. The super does the bare minimum and has to contact management so they can send someone out to repair things.
I didn’t have pests in my apartment, but others did. You’ll occasionally see roaches in the lobby or laundry room. The elevator and front door lock break often, and heat in the winter is hit or miss. There’s also a high turnover since people move out frequently.
Apartments on the higher floors, especially in the front, have recurring leaks that they just paint over, so inspect carefully. A lot of issues aren’t disclosed upfront.
Before I left, there were also signs of possible squatters on certain floors. People would quietly go in and out of an apartment very early in the morning that was supposed to be vacant and had no furniture. They carried book bags as if they were just coming to shower and leave. Never saw them regularly in the building otherwise.
Overall, it’s okay for temporary stay and not long term. You’ll grow frustrated with the lack of communication with management and the constant broken elevator and lock in the front door which is a huge safety risk.
As for your security deposit, you’re practically begging for your money back. I was very close to taking them to court. No one is ever available in person at the management office and they randomly change the times of their operating hours.

Advice to owner:
Answer the phone! Return tenants deposit on time! Show up the building and do better. Fast to take rent but never can reply. Unprofessionalism at its finest
