Great block, nice neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
never had to deal with pests or anything like that.
units in good condition, feel fresh
dishwasher in unit
Cons:
walls are thin.
washer and dryer in building are convenient but nowhere near new, takes forever to dry anything.
had some issues with leakage one week where it rained a lot, but more of an isolated incident than i had anticipated based on what I had heard from previous tenants
Advice to owner:
be more accessible to your tenants eg giving out contact info

Horrible, law-breaking management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Relatively cheap rent, modern appliances, close to M train
Cons:
Artex management was HORRIBLE and failed to repair our broken HVAC system for 6+ months, in violation of housing law.

New management

Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice light in apartment. New and updated. Safe and quiet.
Cons:
Backyard (when i lived there) could have been nice But there was no furniture or anything. We had some bugs on the 1st floor in the kitchen but nothing crazy and seemed seasonal.

Go for it!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pretty friendly neighbors, everyone keeps to themselves.
Cons:
A lot of roaches especially in the summer time when the heat comes up. Building was just recently renovated completely so maybe things will be different now
Advice to owner:
Please be more involved when tenants reach out. Communication is key
