Great building and neighbors on the park!

Pros

Park location, great community, clean building, good pest control. Sunny, happy place!

Cons

Being next to the train was loud. We couldn’t keep windows open and have a conversation. But if you mostly keep windows closed it’s probably ok for you to:)
