    3.5/5 Stephen A. on Apr 17, 2025

    Upstairs neighbors have been combined about multiple times by multiple tenants. No one gets back to me about questions I have regarding rent or anything else

    2.5/5 Camryn B. on Jan 6, 2025

    At first out experience was great. Now our property manager responds infrequently, mail is stuck in a parcel box all the time, and a homeless man sleeps under my porch. Not to mention i keep getting charges at random points in the month with no prior notice.

    Fantastic location. Apartment has a view of the city, and all the neighbors seem nice. Rooftop deck is gorgeous!
