    Don't stay here!!

    I recently stayed at The Birchmont, managed by Becovic, and I have to say it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. The rooms are incredibly small and poorly lit, making it feel more like a dimly lit closet than a comfortable living space. To make matters worse, the walls are paper-thin, and the neighbors are consistently loud at all hours. Despite multiple complaints to management, absolutely nothing was done to address the noise issue. It's clear that Becovic management is unresponsive and indifferent to the concerns of their tenants. I expected a much higher standard of living and service, but unfortunately, The Birchmont fell far short. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful or well-managed living environment. Better stay with a private landlord.
