Epitome of “you get what you pay for”

As a current resident who recently renewed my lease, I can say that I genuinely love my individual unit; the size, balcony access, and affordability were the main reasons I decided to stay. However, the tenant experience overall has been disappointing.

In the year-plus I’ve lived here, I’ve dealt with ongoing roach infestations, misleading maintenance updates, and a property management team that seems disconnected from the actual condition of the building. Every time I raise a concern with the...
senior property manager, instead of taking responsibility or showing any real empathy, she shifts the blame to her staff — as if poor communication and disorganization aren’t a reflection of the management itself.

This property has so much potential, but potential means nothing without effort. CGA needs a comprehensive plan to modernize and revitalize the building — from a full lobby renovation to updated units and amenities. Other nearby high-rises have completely transformed their spaces, creating beautiful, well-maintained environments that reflect the rent prices they charge. Meanwhile, CGA feels stuck in the past, relying on location and price rather than investing in the quality of life for its residents.

Until management commits to real improvement and accountability, this building will continue to fall short of what it could easily become — a standout residence in the area.

Great Community

This property is a hidden gem. Huge balconies! The apartments are large. The laundry and fitness center are fantastic. They even have a pet washing station!

Lots of the "amenities" listed here are lies

There is no fitness center, dry cleaning service, and they literally only got both elevators working in the past couple months. Maintenance staff is spread out far too thin and spends the majority of the time working in the basement which looks terrifying and also where the subpar laundry area is. The unit themselves are pretty with wooden floors and a nice balcony, but everything else is super dated including plumbing, air conditioning, and the kitchens. I can deal with rustic things, but an... oven that burns everything to a crisp is irritating.
