Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Great apartment, small though

Pros

Trash maintenance is great, the mop the halls, nice neighbors

Cons

Pests. Older building so it’s a given

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Solid Place to Live

Pros

Management is very responsive and generally fixes issues with the apartment quickly. YES, the apartments are pretty small, but that’s what we sign up for. They keep the buildings clean and are pretty flexible/understanding of tenants.

Cons

Packages got stolen all the time. The management is not super friendly, but they are responsive which is more important.
