Former tenant·39 minutes ago

Not worth the price

Pros

No bugs and close to train

Cons

Mold in apartment slow response from management

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

It’s not worth how cheap it is

Pros

Really can’t think of any. The neighborhood is nice enough, but the landlord shouldn’t get any credit for that

Cons

Tiny units, if you want to take a hot shower, be prepared to wait 15 minutes for it to warm up, roaches and mice EVERYWHERE. They had the regular exterminator then too, it made no difference, kitchen was disgusting when we moved in, super is overworked so he doesn’t answer and when you call the management company they give you grief for calling the people you’re paying thousands a month to instead of the overworked super. Please don’t live here, it’s not worth whatever you’re saving.

Advice to the owners

Please throw a few thousand at a really intense pest control sweep in every unit and the underbelly of the building. It’s absolutely disgusting that you continue to rent to people with an infestation like that. Someone is going to get sick.
