Overpriced, not worth it
Former Tenant
Pros:
There's laundry downstairs and a little fitness room that barely anyone uses.
Cons:
Management is not responsive unless its regarding rent/lease. Have had pest issues despite being extremely clean, and water turned off for hours without notice. It's a pricey neighborhood but it feels like an absurd amount to be paying to live in a dusty box with high ceilings.

Nice vibes, loud neighbors, ineffective landlords
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice loft apartments, high ceilings, nice windows
Cons:
Insulation poor, cold winters especially with units with many windows. A/c units for heating instead of a radiator so it can get cold and dry. Landlord very unresponsive with fixing things. Neighbors are super loud and playing music / having parties very often
Advice to owner:
Better insulation for windows, be more responsive with fixing the apartment

Do not live here under any conditions
Former Tenant
Pros:
Exposed brick and low prices
Cons:
Mold infested, unresponsive landlord, roaches - do not touch this place with a ten foot pole. You will lose your deposit any way you cut it. Sometimes it really is too good to be true.
