How Is This Rating Determined?

If I was grading my experience on a scale of 1-10 with 10 be the highest, it would be the following:

Cleanliness inside: 10
Outside: 2 (dog poop is everywhere)
Security of building: 3 (you should need a key fob to access the stairwell)
Maintenance: 8- ( after working 20 years in building/apartment maintenance, I have never experienced an instance where as an elevator as essential as the Williams street entrance be out of order so long. This is totally unacceptable.

And lastly, fire detection... system: -5

Just my opinion!

I think this review is going to be similar to my last one. For the most part, I love it here! Everyone is so nice, it’s conveniently located, so many cute and fun things to do. Pool and hot tub are an excellent bonus. I just wish the people who lived here were more respectful to the space. They’re always leaving trash and just plain nasty sometimes.

The area itself is OK however, the excessive alarms is overwhelming the alarms go off daily several times a day, which makes it difficult to work or sleep

It’s been a smooth transition into the place. Still getting used to the noise. I also Like the amenities provided. The maintenance is completed quickly. I had some issues with packages at first, but it got better with time.
