Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Great for family

Pros

We love that the price is very reasonable for the amenities that we get - the elevator, in unit laundry, and spacious bedroom. Trash-shoot on each floor makes it easy to take out trash. Elevator has never been broken. There’s been almost no pest problems. Super is usually very responsive and keeps the building clean. Love that neighbors have been here for years & not a lot of noise from them. Neighborhood is great - multiple grocery stores, close to the 1 train, close to the parks, quite an ideal location!

Cons

There is construction going on the street facing this building - relatively quiet, but it can sometimes get noisy during the day. Super is very strict about recycling.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Good building. Good price. Enjoyable to live here.

Pros

Elevator. Dishwasher in most units. Washer dryer in every unit. Great super. Quiet and friendly building. Good for families. Not for young college partiers.

Cons

Antiquated system for rent and lease management. Management is fair but seems overloaded sometimes with communication. Getting packages is sometimes a problem.

Advice to the owners

Upgrade rent payment and document to make it easier. Keep making it fun and easy to live here.
