    I have lived at 28 Grand for 2 years. It is convenient and I have enjoyed the experience. I'm planning to renew my lease for another year. The staff has been friendly and helpful, the security staff (Tyronn) has been exceptional! I have encouraged several friends & colleagues to consider living here.

    Overall, apartment is nice. However, heat is loud in bedroom, fridge style is out-of-date, floors are uneven, and there is no additional storage space/locker.
