Renters Reviews and Ratings
Not great
January 25, 2026Location is the only good thing. Gym is big but doesn’t have much. Parking is extra. Utilities aren’t bundled. WiFi isn’t stable. Loud noisy neighbors, trains, street, clubs. Messy hallway full of piles of trash for the Trash Fairies all weekend long and regular poisonous pesticides sprayed all over kitchens. Doors never lock and people steal packages. Leasing office people never around. There are better places for the same price in the same neighborhood.Review from Apartments.com
