Decent, but unresponsive managemrnt & occasional mice

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Don't live here

Pros

There aren't many nice things to say about this building.

Cons

Management is horrible. Electricity bills are outrageous because there is no insulation in the apartment. There were months where utilities cost over $300. The garage is shared with ZipCar rentals so there are random people coming in and out of the garage where tenant cars and bikes are often. I've had my bike stolen from the garage before.
