I lived in the building for 3 years and it is a great price for the area, but you do get what you pay for. The in building manager is nice, but the maintanence guy fixes things only when he feels like it. Also, when you walk into the building you are hit with a musty smell. I have a feeling there is mold growing on the ground floor. Also the carpeting on the floors of the hallways is hardly ever vacuumed and the stairwell almost always seems dirty and musty. The apartment I had was a decent sized one bedroom with old kitchen appliances, but they throw in a couple of amenites a sprayer for the kitchen sink and they did put in new windows a couple of years ago, but I think they went kind of cheap as the draft still comes in during the winter.

Another problem with my apartment was that it was in the back of the buiding right on the back alley near the garbage cans. I did not smell the garbage too many times, but the worst part was the noise. Each building in the area seems to have a different trash service, so trucks are coming early in the morning almost every day including Saturday which is really annoying.

Also, there are only 2 washers and dryers for the whole building. Sometimes it is impossible to get one in reasonable amount of time. Only recently did they fix the dryers so they dry anything, but one of the washers leaks water on the floor, adding to the general mustiness of the building.

So do you want to get a good deal to live in a good area where you can walk to everywhere' If that is what you care about the most, then this building is an option, but if cleanliness, noise, and having updates are important then avoid at all costs.
