  • I’m really enjoying it here.

    September 9, 2021
    This was the only place I looked at that sat with you in an office and explained everything to you as well as gave written information to take with you. It’s in an amazing location, the apartments and amenities look exactly like the pictures. The people at the desk are friendly and so far the mail always gets to me. I’m not picky but I highly recommend this place

    July 8, 2013
    Great area but apt. are a little too dark (at least the ones I saw). One was "below" ground which I would hesitate to take and the humidity in the building seemed to be high. Very convenient location and 24 hour doorman a plus if a small apt. is not a problem for you than it would be pay.

  • Love this apartment

    February 22, 2013
    I love my place at The Chocolate Works. This is a great place to live. Everything is literally 5 minutes away. The management staff is great and very helpful. They are always doing a lot of improvements in the building and a lot of activities for the residents, maintenance requests are addressed promptly. In addition, they are affordable, walking distance to Downtown and very close to main expressways.
