Crappy Apartments in a Pretty Exterior

Rent here only if you want to be treated like a 2nd class citizen. They don't let our food get delivered and they leave it on the street or in the vestibule between the front doors, not even at the front desk. Homeless people steal my food and other people in the building rifle through it when looking for their own food. The hallways are dingy with stains on the carpets and the apartments are in disrepair with leaking and other problems. The package room closes super early. If you have a... 9-5 job, forget about ever being able to get your package. They don't allow renters to access the basement garage and they charge huge gym fees for the saddest, smallest gym you ever saw. There are loud parties all the time and it's a lot of students.

Save your money

This building is dysfunctional. Staff mostly unhelpful with attitude. Management responds but does not act. Limited package room hours. Additional fees per guest when using common area. No shower/change room in the pool or gym. Carpet dirty. Garbage rooms always smell. Poor ventilation.
Find better building at a lower cost.
