Rent too high for very mediocre conditions and service. I moved to a smaller un
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet and fairly clean.
Cons:
The owners/management have a very poor communication system, completely outdated, don’t respond to problems unless it’s dangerous, ignore multiple issues, hire cheap contractors that do poor jobs, multiple problems are ongoing, the building is not energy officiant, pipes leak between floors, bad conditions of walls, ceilings, paint, walls are not properly waterproofed, inner walls around windows that aren’t well installed are damp. Prices go up but the conditions in the building are not up to the standard of high rent. Because of the conditions I moved to a much smaller unit at $2,715 but the

My honest opinion
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is wonderful, plenty of public parking and building is maintained somewhat well

Nice place to live, but not perfect
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen and porters are great. Great superintendent. Apartments are spacious and the location is great. A lot of my neighbors are long term tenants and everybody is friendly. Feels like a small town neighborhood condensed in an 11 story building.
Cons:
The hallways, basement and stairwells could be cleaner and better maintained.
