Pros: Building staff are nice and the place is well run. Cons: Walls are thin and it feels like being back in a dorm ever since students started coming back into the city. Would be a nice place to live if I were in college or just out of college. Also, maintenance takes a long time to fix things and I have reoccurring issues with certain appliances in my particular unit. I wouldn't actually recommend it to a friend given the location, the mostly student population, and the fact that falling apart appliances don't make it worth the money imo, but it's not a horrible place to live by any means either.

Pros: Beautiful building with good amenities. Maintenance responds pretty fast Cons: Small space for the price There’s one concierge worker named byrum who’s very rude and racist but management does nothing about it. Washing machines are small but they have laundry in building.

Pros: Doorman (who are very kind), elevators (though very slow despite there being four), gym, rooftop (though it's very loud and not very pretty so I never go), package valet, VERY quick to solve any needed repairs or issues (literally within hours to minutes). Cons: ROACHES ON 6TH FLOOR, MOLD ISSUES-- my mental health was severely effected by this as certain molds directly cause depression (I was just diagnosed with MDD after living here 9 months), has had a bed bud infestation within the last 2 years. no sunlight reaches my room (6th floor on south-east side facing Front st) despite huge windows; you're not going to get any unless you spend extra to live on the top few floors that don't directly face a high rise building. Owned by a big company so there is little to no negotiations and I believe their pricing is not representative of what you get. When studios in the FiDi were going for $2,200, the building, to convince me to renew my lease, offered $3,020-- over 200$ MORE than my current lease with them. It was almost laughable and insulting to be offered to pay more for an apartment I've dreaded living in for the past year. You're paying purely for location. Not worth it imo. Advice to landlord: I advise being more accommodating price-wise on apartments that get almost NO sunlight. This effects the physical health of an individual, especially during times when you have to stay in the apartment for long periods of time. This also did a number on my mental health. I could be offered to live in this apartment for free and I still wouldn't take it because of this one problem.

Pros: Has W/D in unit, marble in kitchen & bathroom, decent city view depending on apt, and some layouts that are great. Gym is 24/7. Doormen and Valet are nice and cordial. Cons: The walls of the apartment can be thin and you hear way too much; appliances don't work fully (ymmv); some apts don't have normal ovens; too many actual dorms and AirBNB type rentals in building; Always random people coming in and out; college kids can commandeer the amenities and invite tons of randoms from outside; the outside amenities like the lounge area, BBQ area, etc. as a result of all the college kids partying without cleaning up is a mess and needs work (for example, the grills are disgusting and unusable, some of their parts even not attached anymore). Advice to landlord: Put just a little more money into refurbishing/cleaning some of the amenities, particularly the gym, grill, and OUTDOOR lounge area. Make sure tenants under age 25 or temporary ones are held responsible for damaging or dirtying up the shared spaces. Occasionally check the outdoor lounge areas and make sure one giant college party isn't making the space unusable for anyone over 25 years of age. Make sure maintenance staff don't give tenants too many run around on fixing their appliances.

Pros: Building design is nice. Apartments are constructed with ikea materials. Will not last long but looks nice. Neighbors are friendly, front desk and mailroom are nice. Solid apartment if you have the money, but nothing special considering the area and other options close by. Cons: Half of the units are AirBNB or other short term rentals run directly by UDR , guests smoke and drink in the hallways and use the apartments as party houses for the weekend. Management suggests you to ignore it and open windows if you have asthma or other medical issues that you can not be around smoke. Elevators constantly broken with the doors left functioning so that an unsuspecting person could walk in and fall to their death. A woman was killed on the property by subletters(supposedly not allowed by management) and rolled around on the luggage carts in a barrel and management said it is not their responsibility to tenants to have the doormen check in visitors or deliveries. If you are woman living alone, I’d look elsewhere. Advice to landlord: Take more care with who is allowed in the building and who is allowed
