    don’t be fooled
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    spacious, large balconies, was brand new when I moved in, pet friendly, good location
    Cons:
    everything else. management is terrible. AC units broke twice in a brand new building and when I reached out I was told I must’ve done something wrong, spoken to extremely rudely. he tried to trouble shoot on the phone and literally told me to switch a flip with a giant red tag saying “do not touch”. electric bill ridiculous $500 in summer and winter as people who were extremely conservative with it. cockroaches (extremely clean apartment unit) but the garbage rooms are often so filled that you cannot even put another bag down the trash chute. laundry is $12 per load ($6/wash and $6 for dry) for extremely small units. key fobs were faulty within months of moving in and the app only works half the time. the apartment is extremely echoey- for example if someone watches tv you can hear everything loud and clear from hallway. does not help when you have neighbors who constantly scream at one another all through morning and night. was concerned for my safety due to the violent and vulgar nature of these screaming matches that sometimes carried into the hallways. reported it to management and he said “if you’re so worried call the police.” upon moving out the checklist and expectations are EXTREME. basically cannot look like a soul has stepped foot inside.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great, bathroom and kitchen are nicely finished and great to have a balcony!
    Cons:
    Laundry in building is $6 for a wash and $6 for a dry
    Amenities have a monthly fee
    The amenities and garbage and laundry rooms are so small it is hard to get in and out of them
    The apartments are poorly insulated which makes heating and cooling so expensive
    The pest problem in the building will get in to your apartment through large gaps in doors and between the floor and walls because the apartments were rushed
    The hot water runs out after ~10 min shower
    There is a selective pet fee, some of my neighbors got one I did not
    Advice to owner:
    Increase the garbage removal and treat the entire building for pets and seal and finish the gaps so they cant get back in
