Reviews

Former tenant·2 months ago

Can't beat location but subpar apartment

Pros

Great location, updated appliances, decent size living room

Cons

-Have had some roaches (little and BIG ones) in unit and see them in the hallways occasionally, if you have a unit facing the back you cannot leave your windows open or you'll get so many flies. -Had a leak in ceiling that took way too long to fix. -Super is actually so rude and any issue you might run into he will blame you for. He is extremely condescending and we avoid him at all costs.

Advice to the owners

Better cleaning of the hallways/ virtual doorman system so packages don't get stolen everyday/different super/

Former tenant·2 months ago

Building itself is dirty

Pros

Apartments themselves are nice

Cons

Packages are stolen and management won’t do anything about this, super is very direct (kind of rude) and not approachable

Advice to the owners

Put in security measures for packages
