Good affordable option

Pros

The super is great. Management cleans the common area at least once a week. Pest control is available once a month if needed but we’ve had minimal issues (a few roaches over the span of multiple years but nothing crazy). The back of the building is super quiet but I imagine units on the front get much more noise (the street is especially busy on the weekends in the summer as there are a ton of restaurants/bars with outdoor seating). Rent increases are very reasonable and the management company is willing to negotiate if you’re a good tenant. The building is mostly young post grads so some neighbors can be noisey but it’s usually just on weekends and never so bad that I can’t sleep.
