Building is unkept and looks rundown. The prices that they’re charging aren’t worth it but ppl are desperate and inventory is very low right now so they’re going to convince ppl. Moved out Feb 28th, did my walk through with the old property manager Tracy and was told that I would receive my security deposit right away. It is now July ppl soon will be August and I have no security deposit! Be prepared to be giving the run around. I am at the point where I’m just going to go to court to handle... this. Will update you guys.

My partner and I lived in the apartment for about 2 years. In the beginning, everything was all good (of course). Then as the 1st year went along, we noticed how a certain manager would act and show his true colors. He is very unprofessional and some of the other managers weren't responsive to our needs about the apartment. The quality of the apartment is CHEAP, so the monthly rent did not make sense from the lack of quality, including the amenities. Yes, the placement of the apartment is great... for recruiting to New York but that is literally about it. For the price of rent and the hassle from the managers, it is not worth it.

Do Not waste your time and money and rent out these poorly managed apartments. The manager thinks he is all that and never takes time to listen to the residents complaints. There is very poor waste management, so there are roaches running around at the back entrance. He is also very big on evicting people and taking them to court over being behind by a month after being a well paying resident. He acts as if he is understanding, when he knows that he will put your name in the eviction courts.

Management is TRASH! Do not rent there! Rat running in parking lot due to poor waste management. Unprofessional is the name of their game! Overpriced is an understatement.

All the other comments sums up the experience at this place. Poor management, low quality flooring, cabinetry, and appliances, the amenities are no where near as described, and they have a infestation problem. Extremely over priced. Your best bet is somewhere else.
