Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Great building, amazing staff, poor rodent removal if you get hit with one!

Pros

Amazing responsive staff. Maybe not like a fancier building but I don't like that anyway. I'm very low maintenance. Apartment sizes are nice. Lisa is amazing and lovely to deal with even when she has to say no. She is on the ball which you can't say for most management companies. I miss living there.

Cons

Rent got crazy like everywhere else recently and again, there are no meaningful amenities here compared to more upscale lux high rise buildings. I left because I was not allowed to upgrade to a 2 bedroom at externally posted covid market prices after having been a very good long term tenant. My child needed their own room and I would have preferred to stay. The second reason we left is construction resulted in rodents entering the unit. The exterminator came 3 or 4 times and could not sufficiently find or solve the problem. I am not. hoarder and am an extremely neat person. It was psychologically too much to deal with.

Advice to the owners

Take care of your existing legacy tenants better and they won't leave.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Very nice well kept building with friendly staff

Pros

Friendly staff/doormen Clean common areas Speediness to respond to any issue

Cons

Saw a roach once (an exterminator came within 48hrs) No amenities other than a doorman (but they’re working on building a gym in basement)
