    Nice Condo building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Staff is wonderful
    Cons:
    When renting you are at the mercy of the individual apartment owner. Had a bad experience with one. Condo board is slow to review applications for renters. Communication with management company is difficult. Fees to rent are very high
    Advice to owner:
    If you plan to rent, know what the fees are

    Great building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very well maintained, attentive and helpful building staff, live-in super, package room
    Cons:
    Renters don’t have access to storage units, renters aren’t always kept in the loop on board decisions or building updates (e.g., construction), gym had been closed since Covid with no signs of reopening due to major construction in the basement, not enough washers/dryers in laundry room
    Advice to owner:
    Expand the laundry room!

    Really enjoyed living here and would move back
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great staff, community of neighbors was lovely, fantastic location. Would move back.
    Cons:
    Don’t live near the chutes. Water bugs - gross. I had roaches once but it was during COVID when everyone left. Management had an exterminator come right away and it got resolved so that was good.
    Advice to owner:
    None - really pleased with the management of the building.
