Pretty Clean and Quiet
Nice place to live. Garage was big enough to park a suburban or truck. Only complaint...if you have a 1 bedroom and the tenants who live on the other side of the building (2Bedrooms) open there garage early AM or Late PM, the garage door opener will wake you up. I had to discuss this with the neighbors and they were nice to stop opening their garage after 11 PM. Raised the rent so not sure if I will renew...
