The only positive thing that can be said about this place is the front desk staff are overwhelmingly pleasant and helpful to the best of their abilities. But the complex, owned by a company based in California, is horrible. The allure of exposed brick and the meticulously manicured model units could trick any starry eyed renter into thinking this is a lovely community, but it only takes a trip up the stone stairs and ride up the deeply unsettling elevator to realize this place is unsafe,
...unsanitary, and not at all concerned with the happiness, comfort, or health of its residents. Roaches are in every building, and every resident will get them, while the dedicated roach pest control people only come on Fridays, if at all. Parking is impossible as a guest or a resident, especially in the winter when a dusting of snow or a blizzard leaves the pot hole ridden drive space difficult to navigate and spaces unable to be identified. Plows do a horrible job, and the complex is so congested that there's no safe way for them to do well if they wanted to. It quickly becomes the resident's responsibility to use their own mini plows, snow blowers, and shovels to clear space by the entrance doors and sidewalk paths along the parking spaces. Year over year there are heating and water problems in the winter, leading to evacuations, holes into people's homes, exposed pipes that rain water into drive spaces that freeze to black ice, and climate control that doesn't work unit to unit. There is a constant smell of rot on the lower floors due to proximity to the trash chute, only two sets of laundry machines per floor, thin walls and ceilings so residents can hear one another's children, pets, arguments, private moments, or just tv and speakers. Fire alarms meant to evacuate the building go off constantly, and can't be turned off or quieted for pets. Floor plans are awkward and were clearly designed on paper to keep the brick consistent from floor to floor, by people who will never live there. Accessibility is barely passing ADA compliance, with only 4 accessible spaces per building, but the area between parking spaces and the access point being rocky, dangerous, and covered in dog droppings. Turnover for units involves a fresh coat of paint that sticks cabinets closed and some rusty screws and nails the property hopes residents won't notice. This place should be condemned, spend your hard earned rent money somewhere else.
