Management takes pride in the building

Pros

Super is very nice and helpful. Ahmed the property manager is responsive. The owner of the management company has his own daughter and nephew living in the building which shows how much pride they take in the building.

Cons

Building is old which is typical of the area.

Decent apartment with friendly neighbors

Pros

The unit is large and a decent price. It has a great location. The neighbors are generally quiet and friendly. No issues with stolen packages.

Cons

I saw a few mice over the course of the year. The unit had some issues with water leaking in a bathroom and the owner did send maintinence people to look into it but I don't think it was fully resolved. It's an old building.
