Former tenant·just now

Lots of potential but awful property management

Pros

Young crowd of neighbors who are all generally friendly and nice layouts. In unit washer dryer is also a nice plus.

Cons

1. The property management group is the worst I have ever dealt with. Completely unresponsive to urgent issues and generally make administrative errors at every turn. 2. Location is across from a project and can be quite loud at night 3. Cockroach and mouse problem which can be an issue in most pre war buildings 4. New rental prices are untenable for the value.
