  • Poor

    August 10, 2021
    Live here if you like sub-par amenities, unfriendly low income residents, unsupervised teenagers partying and groping one another in the lounge/rooftop, rotting food in the stairwells, and constant construction noise. OVERPRICED -- Vivo/Aimco will nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING: $500/month to use an empty parking garage; $100/month for electric shades (because the default tan linen shades block no light). Don't pay for the LuxerOne - Amazon/UPS/FedEx/USPS never actually use it; they will just ...
    throw your packages on the floor of the mailroom. Don't believe the other reviews on here - the building coerces people into filling them out to enter a "prize giveaway" that is never actually distributed -- these are FALSE REVIEWS. The building is soulless with no community. AVOID!!

  • Beware of units on 2nd floor

    May 15, 2018
    I am a current tenant on the 2nd floor. I have been complaining to management for nearly a year about constant noise issues from the Orange Theory Fitness studio on the ground level. I am woken up daily at 6AM to loud music, thumping bass, and yelling fitness instructors on microphones. This continues until 8PM every day. Nothing has changed after countless emails, phone calls, and in person meetings. The owner of the franchise clearly has no respect for the neighbors who live in the building, ...
    and building management will not fine them for noise violations. So the problem continues. If you are considering an apartment on the 2nd floor, beware.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.
