Pricey For What it’s Worth
Former Tenant
Pros:
Snug newly renovated apartment in a fun walkable area. Dishwasher and laundry in your unit.
Cons:
Very loud neighbors in the next door building. They hang out on the street, especially in front of your building, revving cars at all hour and get into endless fights on the street that you can hear plain as day.
Packages get stolen daily minutes within delivery and management won’t make an attempt to fix cameras or put signage up despite strangers entering the building.
Walls are paper thin, the thinnest I’ve ever had. You can hear every word, song, and noise from fellow tenants in each room.
It’s a small apartment with zero storage. The main bedroom has a single closet, which is the only one in the apartment. For some reason there are two identical bathrooms. Sounds nice in theory, but it’s a huge missed opportunity on a walk in shared storage/closet area for such a small apartment.
Second bedroom is just a makeshift room with an added cheap wall.
Front window also leak in most tenants apartments with light rain. Dirty water comes through splashing belongings and hitting heated electric floor boards. Not safe when away.
Heated electric floor boards cover a large amount of wall space, making it hard to put things along walls without unnecessary protruding of furniture. They also get VERY hot and easily melt plastics if touching and hurt to the touch. Kind of annoying when there is no way to avoid putting furniture over too top of them.

Advice to owner:
Add a frosted door to the front of the building. If you won’t do simple tasks to help limit theft in the building, at least make packages impossible to be seen.
Those second bathrooms are really not needed. A closet would be amazing at that size for the whole apartment to use.
Add storage shelving above the washer and dryer and single closet. It’s so much space that can be utilized if shelving was added.
Can you thicken the walls somehow? Spending over $3000 just to hear your neighbors talk and sing all day is kind of ridiculous.

Advice to owner:
Contact the health department on the behalf of your tenants, the odor problem is hazardous and blaming it on the building next door is insufficient problem-solving.
