Reviews

Former tenant·16 minutes ago

ehh its okay

Pros

Management is responsive

Cons

No noise insulation between floors, sounds like stomping

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Ok, could have been great

Pros

Good location, laundry in basement, small shared backyard, fair price

Cons

The landlord seemed to stop caring at some point. They stopped doing monthly pest control and the roach problem got very bad. They totally stopped upkeep on the backyard, the roof became an unusable graveyard of broken furniture, the handymen did slapdash work that amounted to quick fixes that never solved the problem. Management also wasn’t great at communicating.
