Pros: The bathroom is fine. Cons: Everything else. I have had mold, mice, broken lightbulbs, no hot water, you name it. The super does not ever respond. I've dialed 311 countless times. it's horrific. avoid living here…

negativeJan 2026

Anonymous

Pros: - Maintenance responses fast to important issues like losing electricity - Neighbors were reasonable quiet and respectful - No bugs - Despite the issues, its still one of the better deals in the area for this price…

positiveMay 2025

Unit 3A Pros: Clean. Wall units make it so you can control your own heat and AC. Cons: Hot water has gone out a few times and it’s often been a struggle to get the super to fix it.
