Nice place, bad neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is nice! The apartments are spacious, brought, and have great amenities for what the rent is.
Cons:
Over the course of the last 5 years, the quality of tenants in the building has decreased. There are many more people here now that treat the apartment like it’s a college dorm with loud parties, loud guests loitering in the halls, and folks leaving empty cups in hallways/shared spaces.
Advice to owner:
Bring in better tenants

It's not perfect, but okay.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Apartments have beautiful kitchens and large living room. Nice modern bathroom as well. Each apartment has outdoor space whether it's on the roof or a balcony. Large windows and lots of sunlight.
Cons:
Management can be very slow. Apartment does not retain heat well and so it is costly as heat is electric and not included in the rent. Rooms are tiny (except master bedroom). There's a gym but most of the machines never work.

We've also had an issue with packages being stolen and management has been awful at communicating with the building and tightening up security in the building.
Advice to owner:
Better communication is needed.
