    its nice but the owners make it worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the cameras and its well lit when you come into the building
    Cons:
    the property manager never answers his phone and the turn over rate at the management office is so high. you never know whom to reach out to for a issue as they run through employees.

    They treat minorities differently than other tenants!

    They work on things and not give you notice IE: hot water
    Advice to owner:
    Your in the people business. Treat people with respect and have more professional employees.
    can only hind behind emails and phone numbers for so long.

    Maintenance/mgmt impossible to reach
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Furnished, good location,
    Cons:
    Impossible to get help if locked out or to get maintenance tickets resolved. They withheld the security deposit until threatened legal action. Furnishings fell apart
    Advice to owner:
    Maintenance is important you can’t not provide maintenance then try to withhold the entire security deposit for related damages
