Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

Apartment is alright

Pros

no roach/bug/noise problems.

Cons

Apartments are extremely cramped though, no A/C. Garbage management is weird, chute is closed and the super comes and cleans it up everyday outside. Water tweaked out once and filled the tub, wouldn't drain. Small rooms, gets easily dirty. Ok price.

Former tenant·6 months ago

could be worse

Pros

Pretty quiet, good neighbors

Cons

Maintenance isn’t helpful, super is nice but has his hands tied by the management company and can’t actually get anything fixed (we have had broken stuff for months).
