PREPARE TO FREEZE
Pros
I liked the street and the neighbors. The apartment itself is nice to look at and I believe we left it even better than we found it.
Cons
Windows and doors not insulated well. Heaters inefficient. We paid nearly $600 some winter months and were still uncomfortably cold. We insulated the back door shut and the room was still so cold our children couldn’t sleep in it so we had to share the bedroom. Even still, the windows iced over and FROZE shut. Management did nothing. They didn’t renew the lease for the neighbors when they complained to the city by calling 311. 311 notified us that it was illegal how cold the apartment was. Management of course did nothing. They are now “considering” putting in a split system instead of the floor heaters, but that will not fix the issue. Our other neighbors signed their lease contingent on new heaters, which after a year has still not been fixed. The super is so hard to get a hold of. I know this place is beautiful but just don’t do it unless you’ve got a big budget for your heating bill.
Advice to the owners
Take care of people. We tried so hard to steward your apartment well and take care of it. The same would have been nice.

Pros
It's a quiet building inside, with people having lived there for a while and keeping to themselves. Everyone you come across is friendly.
Cons
While the garbage is organized well daily by the super (with some exceptions on holiday weekends, for example), the ground level garbage doorway is susceptible to mice coming in. Also, exterminator service is not as consistent as it could be.
Advice to the owners
Make it harder for mice to enter the building and units -- it is already hard enough with the park next door.
