  • LOUD PINGING RADIATORS. Bring ear plugs to sleep!

    July 9, 2023
    The new management company, Modern City does nothing and there is no longer onsite management. SO MANY have moved because they won't fix the LOUD PINGING RADIATORS. You will need ear plugs AND 2-layers of pillows over your head to sleep. They also turned the hot water down so low that it's barely warm at best. Forget hot showers. The management company is HORRIBLE. All Modern City Management buildings have MANY BAD REVIEWS. This is just another one of many.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
