Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Very loud street

Pros

Clean, good light, convenient location. Backyard/roof space are a huge plus. Not the worst landlords I’ve ever had. I appreciate that they send a monthly exterminator. Good for a couple but w/b small quarters for roommates even with 2br.

Cons

Small living area. If you get one of the street-facing units you will hear the bar across the street till 3 am. Intersection is loud. Management increased rent hundreds of dollars without warning. They will send ppl to fix stuff but seemingly give no instructions as the repair ppl have not had the right supplies at least 3x. It takes prodding to get things done all the way. No units have been burgled but foyer/basement were broken into 4x in one year
