My mom has lived here for over 40 years, the renovations were a huge improvement

Pros

I love that there are only 8 units in the entire building

Cons

I’m hoping they find tenants with children to move in permanently so my children can have friends, similar to the way I grew up. Kids need a strong foundation!
