Great to live

Pros

Very quiet quarters

I thought this was THE building to live in….

Pros

Location is great for convenience. There is a shopping center just up the road with Whole Foods, Target, Sephora, etc. Trader Joe’s is a couple of blocks down the road. The concierge team is great.

Cons

Building management has no clue as to what is going on in the building and does not address legitimate problems within the building. Example: There was a fire in a compactor in the basement with smoke filling up the floors up to the top floor. Not one smoke alarm went off yet if we boil water on our stove, the fire alarm in our apartment goes off. Leasing agent will lie through their teeth to get you to commit. Example: We had very specific questions/concerns about the building when we toured the property. We were assured by the leasing agent that the questions/concerns that we raised were not a problem. Every concern is a rather large problem. The building is pet friendly for a fee but you cannot take your dogs onto the roof deck or in the courtyard. I could go on for days. Long story short, don’t move here.

Advice to the owners

Stop focusing on “building community” and address legitimate issues that affect the day to day of your tenants
