    The staff is great, the common areas are always clean, and the move-in process was very easy. Apartments are private, once you’re inside you don’t hear surrounding neighbors at all.

    Great location, the apartments are nice and the management and macitence staff are are responsive and friendly. The building itself is in need of some work. I have had multiple plumbing issues, the hallways have dingy carpeting and the stairwells are always dirty, the grills int courtyard need fixing or replacing and the landscaping on the property is rarely tended to.

    It’s hard to complain about anything when the price is so great for this location and amenities. The rent and parking seem like such a steal when you look at some other luxury buildings in the neighborhood. You do get what you pay for, though. Sometimes things like broken doors and landscaping takes multiple residents complaining to get action, but it does always get done fairly quickly! Management seems to change a lot, too, which can cause communication issues. But all other staff like the ...
    front desk, maintenance, and cleaning crew are so amazingly kind and considerate. :)

    Building does the bare minimum, pets peeing in the hallways constantly only go be addressed by daily mass emails. Pool is always dirty and this past winter sidewalks went days without being salted. The location is about the only good thing about this building.

    The staff here is excellent and the neighborhood is great for walking. The amenities are nicely organized and the I like the generous touch of the coffee etc in the lobby.

    It’s a great location and the amenities and staff are very nice. It is a bit noisy from traffic noise in apartments facing the west side. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a nice, accessible place in the city.

    Great location, but we have had a ton of issues from a maintenance standpoint and had to put in so many requests to eventually get hot water and it just took forever. Renewing the lease process has been difficult as well.

    The building is beautiful, the staff members are very friendly and the amenities are wonderful. I’m hoping to receive a notification soon that the outdoor pool is heated. I think I was told it was heated 9 months of the year. The frequency of trash pick up from the trash rooms could be improved. It tends to pile up quickly.
