We live here because it is a very good deal and a great location. However I guess you get what you pay for. There´s always kids and adults in the courtyard and yelling, so it´s not very quiet. The water and heat bill is shared among everyone in the building, so if you´re conservative it won´t help much because you will be PAYING for your NEIGHBORS usage as well. We weren´t informed of this when we moved in, so read your lease carefully. There´s not much sound barrier, so you can hear every neighbor, up, down, right, left. There´s dog poop everywhere which management has tried to help with, but nothing happening yet. The mail room stinks like smoke and has a really bad odor.
