    Kind of in the hood

    I mainly gave this property 3 stars because safety wise and noise wise it is not the best. The management is ok, they are pretty friendly and get reply relatively fast. I have lived here 6 months and have not had too many issues with them. My biggest concern living here has been my safety. I hear gunshots at least twice a week around the neighborhood. The barber shop guys across the way are nice but if you are a woman you will get cat called so beware.
    On a bright note I have not had any issues
    … with mice, cockroaches, rats. The building is really well insulted and it overall is a nice building. I would give this place 4 stars however the safety is just my biggest thing.
