Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

landlord doesn’t care

Pros

Beautiful building. Loved the neighborhood so much and neighbors are wonderful.

Cons

Landlord doesn’t do shit. There were enormous health hazards including mold growing out of walls and shower ceiling falling in that took us threatening legal action to fix. Also there was no heating.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Pros

Not too many units, apartments are large.

Cons

The street is noisy.
