Not Luxury at all
The building I lived in was very very dirty. Burned marks on the wall, peeling paint, stinks, dirty foyer and they never pressure wash and keep the property clean. I was embarrassed to have company come over. Very old property with no outside updates or cleaning. What’s luxury about dirty buildings with peeling paint? They put luxury in the name in order to jack up the ridiculous priced rent. These apartments are not worth a 1,000 plus in rent. Maybe 600-700 in rent but not a 1,000. If you can… pay over a thousand in rent then you can afford somewhere clean and nice
