Overpriced with horrible management

These apartments are over priced with horrible management. A new management company took over and they are just as bad if not worse than the previous management company.

Pleasant Service!

Loved the marble lobby! My tour was great and as a huge history lover, it was amazing to see the architecture of this place. They also have an on site cafe that delivers to your door. The coffee and customer service during my tour was amazing!

Worst management I have ever seen

Packages disappear many times; Full of mice (and even rat) in some floors; Front gate and back door of the apartment were under repair for months and never got fixed completely. Anyone can walk in the building; Most of time there was no one sitting in the on-site office; If you finally found someone in the management team, they could not offer help in almost everything.

Awful management

We had a huge concern for personal safety living in this apartment complex. 1. The lock system for the front door has been down intermittently in the past 6 months. When it is down, everyone from outside has access to the building. 2. We had packages and personal belongings stolen. 3. Security and management staff are often absent at the front desk.
