Reviews

Former tenant·7 months ago

Poorly managed building, units in bad condition

Pros

Great neighborhood, spacious units with great layouts. Price is usually pretty good.

Cons

High level of noise from both the train and the street. Poorly managed building is kept in bad condition overall. Pest infestations common. Overall condition of units is bad at this point. Things were a bit better 10 years ago.
