“Unit 12D Pros: The building employees are great! So kind and always willing to help. Building common areas are kept clean. Outside well manicured. Parking garage attached to building and attendants are very nice. Gym and pool in building. Quiet street. Feels safe. Cons: Gym is a little limited in equipment. Location isn’t bad but you are a few blocks from restaurants and bars. 10 min walk from closest train station. The application process was long and intense since it’s a co-op. Took 3 weeks for the board to approve me. Every unit has a different owner because it’s a co-op. There are pets in the building but not every landlord allows pets. Has an HVAC system in unit but it doesn’t work well for heat or AC. I had to buy fans and heaters to help regulate temperature.”

On-site management company is very professional. Cons: Except for service and emotional support animals, renters are not permitted to have pets.”
