I love living at the Kelvin! My dog does too. I love the new stair masters in the gym and the food pop ups have been a nice bonus. Amazing cleaning staff in this building!

Construction sucks and no one cares. There is not much done to help the residents who are greatly impacted (i.e. when it has been below your beedroom window for 3 months).The gym is constantly too hot.

Really enjoy the events we have here. It's a great way to get to know other residents and develop a sense of community. Management, especially Josh, is terrific. Always responsive to the residents.

Josh is amazing. He truly cares about the residents' experience, is always available, and has an uncanny way of making everyone happy. I've been here for four years and at another building for three. He is the best GM I have experienced.
