Overpriced “luxury” building
Pros
The location is incredible, the actual apartment layout is nice, the common areas are kept clean
Cons
This building was clearly built as cheaply as possible. And not in the way where theyre trying to straddle a line so its not very noticeable. It’s a building that’s maybe 10 years old and every major appliance was broken/didn’t work when we moved in. It took months to get them fixed (granted height of pandemic, but it took them days and days to respond with nothing helpful) and was a fight to get them fixed. The floors slant ever so slightly, but the biggest thing about this building is the heating and AC units. WARNING: these units are so inefficient it will cost you around $120-200 a month to heat/cool in electricity alone. Then you have to pay the gas bill too. So total energy costs a month can be upwards of $300. The units are so cheap and shitty (a technician told me how terrible they are when he came to fix it) that you can feel the cold air pouring in through the vents and in the summer the units overheat in the sun so badly that we couldn’t get our bedroom cooler than 85 running it full blast. In summary, it’s an overpriced building to begin with that will cost you even more in energy, the management company is impossible to deal with, which you will have to do and finally your appliances will break and they will fight to replace them.
Advice to the owners
Lower rent and replace all of the terrible AC/heating units.
