  The price seemed good to me when I applied but now a few years later I honestly think it's too high. I love the location and my unit has a lot of charm with the high ceilings and big windows, but that's about all I can say on the positive side. I spend 2-4 weeks per year shivering or sweating while they struggle to get the heat/AC working. I know it's an old building and things happen, but like the seasons change roughly the same time every year, it's not like some curveball out of nowhere. Only one of the two elevators goes all the way down to the parking garage, and that one is often broken. You will have to lug your groceries upstairs. Management does not communicate about basic things. The way you find out something is out of service is when you go to use it and it doesn't work. No explanation, no apology.

  I have lived in a 1 bed 1 bath unit here for 11 months now and had an overall great experience! The staff are incredibly kind and maintenance is quick to address any issues! My apartment is spacious for a 1 bedroom and the ceilings are VERY tall, so no complaints there! Parking can be pretty costly, especially considering most parking spots are a block away in an outdoor lot where the primary security is a gate that’s been broken a couple times and a small fence rope. But, just the cost of living in downtown I suppose. Pros: Great staff, spacious units, easy to access mail, small gym. Next to the baseball field, so you get a get view of summer Friday night fireworks! If you’re into the Farmer’s market, it’s right there! In-unit washer & dryer (biggest dealbreaker for me!) Quiet space. Cons: Did not get a tour upon move in so I did not know there was a gym in the building until living here for like 6 months, signage isn’t great. The elevator and fob system has had a lot of issues lately. The front outdoor entrance area always smells of dog urine/droppings. The walk from the outdoor lot to the inside can feel unsafe at night, often stragglers coming off the train line later in the evening. Don’t park in the Farmer’s Market for long, ended up getting a $50 parking ticket after 20ish minutes. Traffic can suck on Farmer’s market mornings and Baseball games. Would I live here again? Absolutely! This was a the most affordable option I could find in downtown and the neighbors here are all very kind! More than half of the residents all own dogs, but the building is SO quiet!! I have never heard my next-door neighbors and only hear those above or below if they blast music (infrequently). I never hear dogs from inside barking when I am in my unit! This place has it’s pros and cons, but overall it’s a great place, friendly neighbors, quiet, and somewhere I would recommend to a friend or family member!

  Been here a year and a few months and I honestly love it. The people I’ve met are absolutely incredible. Jaz is an absolute beauty of a human being. There are a few down side, just like in any place. The parking can be expensive, the many events that take place around here can be annoying. They have no breed restrictions! I’ve had my pit for 9 years and no way I was willing to part with her. So here we are! Again, all the residents I’ve met have been friendly and helpful. All the dogs I’ve met have been beautiful and sweet. My bf and I have hardly any complaints or issues here. (Sometimes getting a service call can be slow but it’s a big building)

  The inquiry email doesn't even have the right phone number. Incompetent that's all that needs to be said.
