Good Value for Students
Pros
- Staff was great - they worked hard to maintain the building and keep it clean. Also, it was easy to make service requests and they were pretty responsive - usually within a few business days they would address any issues that came up (clogged drains, etc.). - Location was convenient for CU students. It is only a few blocks away from campus. - Laundry in basement, so you don't have to go far to do laundry - Rent is stable - we found that during COVID it was a bit above average on the market, but post-COVID it was cheaper than other places in the neighborhood - Building faces Morningside Park, which is convenient for going to the park. The building has a lot of vegetation nearby
Cons
- No dishwasher - Furnished apartments are less comfortable (furniture is ugly and not comfortable) - Location is far from restaurants, not a lot of good restaurants nearby - Apartment could be loud at night (sirens, etc.) - Building faces Morningside Park - inconvenient at night because we would typically need to circumvent the park for safety reasons - There were some issues with package theft in the building
Advice to the owners
Change the furniture - mattresses and sofas were uncomfortable.
