  Still relatively new here after a little over a month, so will update if anything changes significantly one way or another. Overall I’m pretty happy here. Despite a couple small issues, I really like the unit itself and I think I’m getting a good value for what I’m paying. The pros: -Beautiful unit, the living space is comfortable and I love the kitchen. Nice bedroom and bathroom too. The appliances actually seemed brand new and unused when I moved in and there was clearly fresh paint on the walls. The AC blows cold, everything works, it’s bright and roomy and I’m always happy to walk inside. -Great location. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby and nice to have a little park right behind. There’s definitely some night-time activity here and there but nothing concerning I’ve noticed yet. Seems like a fun place and definitely enjoying it so far. -Public parking is plentiful. I’m not paying for parking and just use the side streets, haven’t had any issues yet and I’ve always managed to get a spot right outside my window. -Management is friendly and helpful, I’ve spoken with Chyna throughout my move-in process and Nykia for my maintenance request and they were both very nice and responsive. The one small maintenance issue I had was a leak under the kitchen sink which was fixed within about 10 minutes of putting in my request, so great turnaround and reassuring that in-unit issues are quickly attended to. -Building itself is very nice, there is another one which I can’t attest to but the one facing 20th St. is great. The pool is a really awesome feature and nice to have the rooftop patio as well! The cons: -Noise is definitely the biggest downside. It’s not constant or unbearable but it’s a factor. I can definitely hear my upstairs neighbor and others down the hall. People are generally pretty considerate but the walls are thin. I can block out any other music with my own but that’s a regular thing, so yea. -Maintenance is lacking. Despite my experience with the work order for my sink, communal things are clearly a bit neglected. The gym is a big disappointment as I would have liked to rely on it for regular use, but the gym in my building is completely unusable and the one in the other building is barely functional and also very uncomfortable with the lack of AC. -Some people are very irresponsible about picking up after their dog outside, that’s not really on the apartment but still annoying. All things considered I’m still happy with my decision to move here. Nowhere is perfect and the more you pay the more you should expect, and I believe that for what it costs it’s met my expectations.

  I have lived here for nearly two years. To be fair, I cannot complain about the apartment itself; it is truly comfortable for one or two people, and maintenance requests are handled quickly and without any issues. However, the overall experience has been overshadowed by significant management and facility concerns. First, regarding parking: it is frustrating that we pay for a parking spot but are not assigned a fixed space. Coming home in the early morning only to find no available parking in a building where I pay for this service is unacceptable. Second, the cleanliness of the building is a major health concern. Residents frequently leave trash in the stairwells and elevators, and there is persistent dog urine and feces in common areas. Management should implement fines; it is not sanitary to have to navigate through this daily. While my neighbors are generally respectful—despite the walls being thin enough to hear everything—the common areas have received zero investment or improvements. The gym is a particular point of contention: the air conditioning has been broken for six months, making it impossible to work out. When we bring this up to the leasing office, they log the request but never actually fix it. They offer no communication or updates. If the gym is unusable, we should at least be provided with a functional alternative, rather than being directed to another building’s gym, which is also in a state of disrepair. Finally, if you are considering moving here, please be aware that the neighborhood atmosphere on weekends is quite chaotic—it honestly feels like "Gotham City." There have been incidents of gunfire, along with constant noise from cars, motorcycles, loud music, and people drinking and shouting outside. The building needs to hire professional security to address these safety concerns. We pay full rent and expect the facilities and services to match that cost. Sadly, the lack of investment and management's indifference make it difficult to recommend this place.

  It’s always some bullshit with this place. Don’t let the positive reviews fool you, the staff is nice but they’re not living with you. Imagine having to explain to your boss that you’re late because the first floor button on the elevator is gone and it’s the only elevator that’s even opening for you. Then having to walk all the way around to the other side off building to get to the stairs and having to walk around the building AGAIN to get to your car. On top of other things, dog shit on the sidewalk all around the building. People trying to break into your car. Look, if you’re desperate go for it but if you have options don’t let this be one.

  The company managing this property, especially the Cedar building, has really gone downhill since they first took over a year or so ago, and is neglecting their duties to maintain a safe and clean community. There seems to be no accountability towards residents who leave bags of garbage in the hallways (outside of the nightly 1 hour pickup schedule), or dumped in the stairwells and parking garage. There are strict rules in the lease agreement against this that are supposed to result in fines and eventual eviction. It just continues to happen! Not fun to walk down a hall that smells like a dumpster with insects everywhere on, and flying around leaking garbage bags. Navigating dog poo and pee in the halls, elevators and common areas is also a daily chore. The grass and overall landscaping maintenance has been an absolute embarrassment, as it has been neglected all summer. Access doors to the property are often broken and not secure, or propped open by residents to allow anyone to enter the building, also a major violation of their lease agreement. There has been property damage as a result. We just want some accountability towards the residents who are breaking the rules! DO NOT pay attention to the reviews about tours. Trust the reviews from people who actually live here.
