Reviews

Former tenant·6 months ago

My first studio apt

Pros

Nice building to live in

Cons

Annoying to have to mail/drop off checks

Former tenant·7 months ago

Greedy management but okay building

Pros

Great location and overall good condition apartments

Cons

- Management is greedy and WILL raise your rent an egregious amount - When we moved in, they did not hire cleaners at all and it was filthy inside - They took away some of our security deposit back for not "cleaning" but the apartment was in good condition - Payment has to be done in person by check
