Overpriced Roach Motel

Pros

Elevator is a plus. Lots to do around the apartment. Very clean trash area.

Cons

Roach Infestation is disgusting especially what the units in the building go for.

Advice to the owners

Fumigate and investigate where the roach infestation is actually coming from.

Good but loud street noise

Pros

Great superintendent, he’s very kind and helpful with any maintenance issues! Never had an issue with bugs or any pests. I have an updated apartment and the appliances and upgrades are very nice

Cons

Suppperrrrr loud if your unit is facing the street. You’re facing Broadway and there’s a ton of trucks constantly driving down the road so it’s very loud. The management company (Tri-hill management) really sucks to deal with. Kind of slow to respond and they tend to be rude on the phone
