Not worth the rent
March 18, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
We moved into this location about a year ago and have been unhappy with our apartment since. The main issues are ongoing renovation, poor renovated unit quality, poor sound/heat insulation, and poor ventilation.
Ongoing Renovation: As people move out, their units are renovated. I was not told this when I moved in. As a result, about 50% of my workdays I have to deal with construction noise. Today my floor has been vibrating for 6 hours straight. I was told this renovation process will ...
likely take a year or longer to complete.
Renovation Quality: The quality of construction is very low and key things to update were not addressed. On move in our floors were covered in white paint specs that we still are removing. The apartment was visibly dirty (the unit we were shown was not...). They put a new coat of paint on and some new floors but kept the old floorboard heating and closet doors. The doors regularly fall out of their guide. The kitchen electrical outlets failed within the first week of us being there and had to be replaced.
Sound/Heat insulation: I can regularly hear my, albeit relatively loud, neighbors' entire conversations. Perhaps the renovation noise wouldn't be so bad if the apartments were properly sound insulated. The unit uses baseboard heating off one thermostat, this means that every room varies in temperature significantly. This is made worse by the in wall AC units which are drafty during the winter. Even with us covering them our electric bill is significantly higher than our previous electrically heated unit.
Ventilation: The unit has no dedicated fume hood in the kitchen, this wouldn't be a deal breaker but the way the building is ventilated that means you smell everyone's dinner (and other odors). We have to keep the bedroom bathroom door closed, not because of bathroom smells, but because I don't want to smell my neighbor's dinner in my bedroom. There are also no bathroom fans, which has led to mildew growth on the ceiling in the bathroom.
Building maintenance: One of the elevators has been out now for at least a month, its gotten to the point that we only use stairs. Maintenance requests take a while to get resolved and were not fully addressed. The building's roads are well maintained including adequate snow removal though be warned you'll hear it all night during a storm due to the poor noise insulation of the building.
Will not be renewing our lease here, look elsewhere at this pricepoint
