We've lived in this apartment for quite a while now, and when we started, it was great. However, since then, there have been two changes in management in the building and amenities have declined.

The gym is pretty sparse. People did bring their own weights up there to make it a little better, but management put a stop to that. If you want any weight/strength training machines, or really anything besides cardio and a couple free weights, you'll need an outside membership.

There is a laundry… room downstairs, but it is frequently full as there aren't enough machines for the size of the building. In addition, the machines really need to be replaced with newer, more functional ones since they seem pretty old. Also, the service they started using for laundry machine operation crashes a decent amount, and it can take a whlie for the card reader to work.

The elevators are extremely slow moving.

The pipes also have had issues that required the water to be shut off multiple times in the past month.

The internet was pretty reliable when we moved it, but it's been going in and out a lot more lately.

I am giving three stars because management is still nice, and they did keep the rent the same last year when renewing the lease, which was a big help. The apartment is pricy for the size. If rent increased at all, we'd have to seriously consider moving. Read More
