Apt 2R Review
Pros
The building has been renovated and feels modern and well-maintained. It features central AC and heat, which keeps the apartment comfortable year-round with easy temperature control. The appliances in the unit are in good condition and work well, though laundry is located in the basement rather than in-unit. The bedrooms and living area get plenty of natural sunlight during the day, which makes the space feel bright and open. There’s also a large shared yard in the back. The location is surrounded by grocery stores, restaurants, and places like Five Below, and it’s just a 5-minute walk to the DeKalb train stop, making commuting easy
Cons
On the downside, the apartment lacks closet space entirely, which makes storage a challenge. There’s no built-in storage, so you’ll likely need to add wardrobes or other storage solutions. The entrance features a very long and narrow hallway, which creates a tight walk-in and makes the layout feel a bit cramped at first. While the main living areas open up nicely, the initial entryway might not be ideal
Overall good experience
Pros
No overriding complaints. The apartments are well-renovated compared to others in the area. Walls are paper thin: you will hear every time someone opens/closes their door or the building's front door.
Cons
Could be cleaned better. Lots of issues related to being an old building (piping leaks, hot water, etc.)
Advice to the owners
Building has improved in the time I’ve lived here.
