Amazing location & layouts... but with some frustrating problems
Pros
- Incredible location near L train (~2 blocks) - Some great amenities (gym in building, rooftop) - Great layouts (in a very spacious 1 bedroom) - Quiet (at least on courtyard facing units)
Cons
- In-building laundry is never functioning and has added a huge stress to day-to-day life (half of machines are out of order usually, and the ones that are "working" barely dry clothing) - Climate control is unbearable and exorbitantly expensive since the units are so inefficient. In-wall HVACs are noisy and barely cool / warm the apartment. Bills for a 1-bed can be up to $350 a month. - One of the elevators has been broken / offline for over 1.5 years, causing delays trying to get downstairs if you're on a higher floor.
Great place but overpriced
Pros
- high ceiling - Floor to ceiling windows - large spaces - nice kitchen - generous storage - super nice staff
Cons
- super noisy window AC unit with no remote control. - bad exterior maintenance - weird design choices for the lobby and amenities - very small gym - rooftop is a bit neglected. Missing proper lights, sinks, and outdoor furniture. - Floor to ceiling windows makes it hard to install blinds. You simply cannot install blinds on the ceiling without blocking the windows.
Advice to the owners
Combine the amenities between the three buildings you own and offer larger gym and proper business center. Replace the AC units with central AC or for the very least - install AC units with remote
