    Great Modern Space
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    New building, spacious, and clean
    Cons:
    Owner can be unresponsive and when there are issues might take a while to resolve them
    Over 2 years ago
    Management company never fixes issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Excellent garbage management
    Cons:
    Need to chase down landlord / management / contractors every time something needs to get fixed.

    Repairs just go ignored for months at a time.

    Laundry room is always dirty (entrance next to trash) and entrance is teeming with flies and mosquitoes in the summer.
