Lotsa space if you can handle the cold
Pros
The building is normally pretty clean. My apartment is a great size. The neighbors seem nice. The neighborhood itself is filled with community if you actively get to know folks. Its close to the train.
Cons
For the price it isn’t worth the space due to the noise level and lack of insulation. Our unit is always cold because they did not properly insulate this unit and supposedly the one next to us so every winter our heating bill is through the roof. 500 dollars or more added to our already very high rent for months at a time if we choose to heat the apartment reguarly. Alot of Times we sit in the cold to save on costs. Also, you can hear everyones conversations, events, fights, and parties. The walls are hollow so that is something you would have to deal with. The Landlords response time on things can be slow but they will eventually get it done. Also our rent jumped from 2650 to 3000 this year. That feels like a crazy jump. Not sure how it will go over time with these astronomical rent increases.
Advice to the owners
Spend the money and insulate and sound proof the building and I do believe you would have longterm rental tenants because overall the building isnmt terrible.
