Unless you’re lucky enough to get one of the 2 floor loft units… I’d make a hard pass.
This building far exceeds thin walls/structure. It’s not my first apartment but, it is the first one I’ve had where I can hear neighbours doing literally everything from pooping to snoring to talking on the phone to opening their fridges and everything in between. It’s incredibly crystal clear, even with my own TV or dishwasher etc running. The noise never stops. I’m listening to my neighbours talking right
...now and I can hear every word as though they are in my own apartment.
There’s no heater in the bathroom, so it is always cold.
The only dual plug in the large, cold bathroom is in a position by the sink that doesn’t allow to put a space heater in because of the proximity to the door and layout of the plumbing fixtures.
All taps take a full 2 minutes just to get lukewarm water, and then suddenly go
blazing hot. The shower only gets about 5 minutes of hot water.
The washer/dryer combo is stuck in a back corner of the bathroom where the doors open up to where the folding door contracts, which makes it awkward.
The apartment gets very cold from drafts instantly when the heater shuts off. The insulation is at a bare minimum at most.
It’s nice to have a built in air conditioner, but it’s under a window, at the floor level in the bedroom. We all know that cold air doesn’t rise, so it makes no sense to purposely install there. Especially as there is a vent system for the heating.
The layouts are also not a great use of the minimal available space.
The kitchen drawers are half sized and barely fit anything in them, and the sink is barely deeper than my fist.
The parking spaces are mostly pretty close together. There’s rarely guest parking as the neighbours use it for their extra vehicles.
It’s a shame. Everything looks nice enough at first, and they’re good about keeping the hallways and exterior cleaned and looking maintained. But aesthetics don’t help to enjoy a space, they’re only there to suck you in to a contract on an incredibly subpar living experience.
I can’t wait for my lease to be up so I can get out of this hole, and I’m considering just eating it and moving anyway.
