ABSTRACT HAS TO BE CALLED OUT!! GEOFFREY RUNNING AROUND LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN, AND WHEN YOU APPROACH PEOPLE’S DOORS YOU BEHAVE LIKE AN UNTRAINED DOG WITH NO MANNERS—CAUSING A COMPLETE NUISANCE! RESPECT YOURSELF AND BE WARNED. GEOFFREY, THE LEASING AGENT, IS ALSO DISRESPECTFUL AND RUDE. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE OVERALL

Beware of neighbors that will constantly stomp starting at 7am until whenever they choose not to. Every. Day. Don’t count on the leasing office to help either, I’ve complained multiple times and from the looks of it, the leasing office does not care and “sides” with the loud people. Move somewhere that cares about each resident.

As a delivery driver, I now refuse to deliver here. It is nearly impossible to gain access for delivery. The main elevator has been broken for months. The elevator in the garage requires a key fob to reenter the building. The callboxes at the side dont work either, they say “line in use”.
If you never get packages or food delivery, maybe this place is fine, otherwise just go to the apartments next door at 1955 address.

I lived here for about a year and a half and would suggest looking elsewhere. In summary:
• Packages: frequent stolen packages, often saw empty boxes that were stolen in stairwells.
• Security: related to the above comment, MANY doors in this building are unsecured. There was almost always a way to get into the building if someone wanted to. I forgot my key fob in my unit a few times and always found doors that were broken or propped open. This is mentioned in multiple reviews over the last few YEARS. The feeling of full security here is nonexistent.
• Trash: trash rooms FREQUENTLY got full and smelled awful. Saw a roach in the hallway at least once or twice a month and even had a few get into my apartment through an opening below the kitchen sink.
• Elevators: for a roughly four month period there was always at least one elevator broken. At one point there was only one elevator in the whole building operable for a couple of weeks.
• Guest parking: usually a nightmare, especially on weekends. Although apparently now they have started allowing guests to park on the top floor of the garage.
• Garage: for about 10 out of my 18 months living here the garage had to be manually opened by key fob because the license plate reader to automatically open the garage door was broken, they never fixed it.
• Noise: lots of noise issues with other residents being loud late at night. I had to go onto my balcony twice to tell neighbors to be quiet as it was past midnight on a weekday.
• Overall cleanliness: the general upkeep of the building was not great. Saw the same trash in stairwells and garage for months on end, cockroaches in the hallway, and trash in the hallway left out by residents that didn't get picked up.
• Maintenance: thankfully I never had any issues with my unit outside of routine maintenance that always quickly got addressed. Maintenance team is nice and efficient.
