I love the community. It is so quiet. Everybody is pleasant. I love the people in the building. They’re very nice to everybody. I like the idea of the outdoor space that we have so we could cook out. I love that we have a grill. The rooftop is fantastic.

Lots of noise in the apartment coming from upstairs unit. Otherwise it's a good apartment. Sometimes it takes time for work orders to get resolved.
