If you value your sanity, STAY AWAY! You will hear every step above & below you
Pros
It's spacious, but it's like living in a large prison. What's the benefit of space when you have people skating, smashing, stomping, rolling, running, jumping, and jackhammering above you 24/7? Even prison is better because you have someone to complain to which leads to an investigation—here it leads to talking to the walls, the same walls that you can hear your neighbors yelling through.
Cons
You will need to puncture your eardrums in order to deafen yourself, so that you can possibly get a wink of sleep. It won't stop you from feeling the vibrations of bass music and banging, but you'll at least not hear it. I cannot even express the torture I've gone through to try and live a normal life in this endlessly noisy setting. Please don't just move in based on space or looks. The noise is torturous!
Advice to the owners
They won't listen anyway so I'll save my fingers from more typing.
Managment company is a nightmare
Pros
The units (that have been remodeled) are nice and cute. They have great pest control. The super takes care of the trash, and is generally a chill guy:
Cons
The management is awful. They were really elusive about renewing our lease during Covid (even though we have never caused issues or been late on rent.) You can never get ahold of anyone. They returned our security deposit late. Super disorganized. I accidentally overpaid rent one month because of a mistake with logging auto payments and they refused to refund overpaid rent. Just generally really cold or rude about anything that needs fixed or issues.
Advice to the owners
Don’t wrongfully hold onto peoples money for rent they didn’t owe you: Answer the phone and emails in a timely manner about important things like lease renewals and repairs.
