Good place to live but way overpriced
Pros
Good amenities - dishwasher, washer dryer, balcony, central air and heat, shared courtyard accessible to all 3 buildings under this management (18, 20, and 22). Small building, only 2 apartments per floor. Quiet building for the most part, balconies and windows are adequately soundproofed (not perfectly quiet, but very good). Never personally had any pest issues in my unit. Generally responsive management/supers, but they will try to keep your deposit and you will have to threaten them with legal action to get it back.
Cons
Apartments are extremely overpriced for what they are and rent increases are steep (they will charge you the max legally allowed). When I moved out of my $2500 2br in 2024, they raised the rent to $3200 for the next tenant. Dated interiors, janky paint jobs inside. Narrow staircases and hallways make moving in and out a pain, and they do not sweep the staircases—always dust and cobwebs in the corners. Enormous bathtub, but it’s plastic and super creaky. Can’t sit on the stoop because the trash is gathered by the stairs and there’s a lot of flies.
Advice to the owners
Stop overcharging and being greedy, or at least modernize the interiors if you’re going to be charging so much. Stop doing illegal shit when your tenants move out.
this was the best out of a mediocre lot of apartments I’ve lived i
Pros
Central air, massive bath tub, little balcony, pretty quiet, in unit washer dryer, dishwasher
Cons
Cannot have packages delivered here. They will get stolen. 2 bedroom is not a true 2 bedroom. The second small room is tiny AF and the closet is a joke.
Advice to the owners
Add a space to have packagers delivered safely
