Space for money is great but trash rooms are disgusting and amenities are bare minimum. Staff has constant turnover with little care for residents. Snow removal was horrendous this year and dangerous. No prep or after storm care was completed for almost a week, no other properties in the area still had ice and snow before removal.

Very pleasant and rewarding experience. I’m close to the doggie park where I can see the play and enjoy. I’m
close to all the major transit systems and walking distance to some amazing restaurants and bistros in the area.

Zero stars. Worst management team. No communication. Not worth the price. Just want to scam you. Worst experience. Would not recommend to anyone.
