Terrible building area neighbors. avoid

Pros

Spacious apartments some are renovated.

Cons

Terrible building, neighbors not considerate and they treat the place like trash. trash is left everywhere. Smoking is constant in the stairwell. Managment knows of the smoking nothing is done about it. as far as the neighborhood extremely loud at all times weekends is unbearable loud noises loud parties loud cars with music. Not safe. The trash around the neighborhood is disgusting. Food is always left out. Dog poop is never picked up tons of mice issues and cockroaches is a constant in all apartments primarily because trash is left up in everywhere. Lacks care from management and owners.
