    September 6, 2023
    Ive lived many places including 15 years in my own condominium. But that falls into second place after living here for a year. The building is very quiet, and well insulated. Even from insects! This is amazing as every place Ive lived, if it doesnt have roaches, has flyjng insects, that come in or silverfish, and / or centipedes... and I hate insects in my home. That is for me a major reason for my contentment here. Furthermore, neither management nor maintenance enters my unit without ...
    permission, and I dont get that 'feeling' that they do. And the cleanliness and trash removal is fairly well maintained. The trashroom however sometimes gets cluttered but seems to be addressed quickly. I am happy to call this place home.
