Safe, Cozy and Modern Living
October 8, 2025 - Review from Apartments.comI have been in the building since September 13 2025 and I am quite satisfied with the amenities of the apartment especially the common areas. It’s cozy and clean. Most of all it’s safe. The only downside is the internet because we are on the basement, the signal is weak. Other than that, no qualms.Property Manager Responded

Modern and great Amenities
September 24, 2025 - Review from Apartments.comMy experience at The Archive has been wonderful. I've lived here since May 2025. I really enjoy the modern style of the building, the private dog park, grooming dog station, the secured keyless entry to the building and the theater room. I have never felt unsafe in my apartment. The management and maintenance teams are professional and quick to address any issues.Property Manager Responded
