Loved it; subletted so minimal experience w mgmt
Pros
- Amazing location, right by the subway, busses, grocery store, bookstore, cafes, etc. - The street is extremely family-friendly and welcoming. Neighbors know each other by name; many of them have been on this block for decades
Cons
Roach issue - my apt had quite a few, mgmt sent exterminator and it helped, but keeps coming back. I've seen roaches in the hallways as well Windows need a cleaning for the entire building, which mgmt needs to do because residents can't open it themselves Charging too much rent for what the apartment actually is slow to make repairs - a large hole in the hallway wall outside my apt was open for 7+ months before they fixed it. The street is quite loud, a bit with traffic noise but mostly from the train at the end of the block and otherwise with normal neighborhood sounds (kids playing, parents calling for them, dogs barking, etc).
