I Did Not Feel Safe or Welcome Living Here
Pros
The location was convenient, but unfortunately my overall experience living in this building was overshadowed by serious issues that ultimately caused me to leave.
Cons
I was racially profiled while living in this building. On multiple occasions, people approached me and questioned whether I lived in the building, asked to see my ID, asked what floor I lived on, and followed me throughout the building. These were not isolated incidents. It happened enough times that simply coming and going from my own home became uncomfortable and stressful. Eventually, the racial profiling became so overbearing that I decided to leave. There were also serious cleanliness and pest issues. I regularly encountered large roaches throughout the building, including dead roaches casually lying in common areas. The overall condition and cleanliness of the property were extremely disappointing.
Advice to the owners
Management needs to take reports of racial profiling seriously and ensure that every resident can enter, leave, and move throughout their own building without being questioned, followed, or repeatedly asked to prove that they belong there. When I raised these concerns, the owners made excuses rather than taking my claims seriously or meaningfully addressing what was happening. Residents who report experiences like this deserve to be heard and have their concerns taken seriously, not dismissed or explained away. The building also needs significantly better pest control and maintenance of the common areas. Residents should not regularly encounter large roaches, dead or alive, throughout the property.
Fairly decent building
Pros
Nice location, large apartments
Cons
Facilities are older, laundry machines not good.
