Studio Apartment Review
Pros
Nice new building with good amenities. My apartment has dealt with some issues but management has been fairly responsive and there is a live-in super. App to handle maintenance requests, remote key access, etc. Very clean.
Cons
My apartment dealt with a ceiling leak from another unit that lasted, infrequently, for several months due to an issue with how the building was constructed. Management had issues figuring out the root cause although they were fairly responsive to such issues. Fairly expensive apartments as well.
Fantastic on-site maintenance team
Pros
The amenities work. Maintenance team is quick. Nice neighbors and neighborhood. The building itself is strong and seems well sealed off from pests, which is a huge plus. Stairs are are so clean, too!
Cons
Units are tiny and way overpriced with additional costs tacked on to the rent. The building itself is strange: It seems like they were just trying to check off as many boxes as possible without considering how things would function for renters. This includes: odd decisions about door placement within the units themselves (which makes the cramped rooms feel even smaller); questionable open kitchens that take up almost the entire living space make it difficult to actually live in the apartments; less than optimal gym (the treadmills face blank walls and beep every 60s of use).
Advice to the owners
First-floor units (including gym): Please install window shades that can be lowered from the top (so that the bottom remains covered; this is for the safety of renters). Please fix the treadmills so they don't beep every 60 seconds. Also, please, please, please lower the volume of the arrival and departure beep on the elevator.
