Resident ā€¢ 2008 - 2016

5/3/2016

We've owned here for awhile, and we can safely say that if we'd known about how badly mismanaged this place was, we never would've bought a condo here. The other tenants are nice, but the walls are paper thin. You will literally hear every toiletā€¦Ā See More >

    I own a condo in this building and have lived here since 2006. At the time the building had just been converted to condos. Previously and for many years the building was an apartment and very loosely maintained. The buildng on the wholeā€¦Ā See More >

          At first, this building looks perfect - lakefront, swimming pool, gym and so on. The apartments are nice (only two apartment per floor that are actual two bedrooms, although the floor plans indicate otherwise - the other "2 bedrooms" are tiny and are too smallā€¦Ā See More >

              -Dog friendly is the last thing that can be used to describe this building. We were fined a total of over $1500 in the two years we lived here, for our dog barking on 3 occasions. That's $500 a pop! The only time we disputedā€¦Ā See More >

                Don't waste a dime in this place. Don't buy, rent, sublet here. The management will do all it can to fine you for the littlest of things. My dog was barking the other night and I got a fine! What theā€¦Ā See More >

                  Don't move in here! The staff is SO RUDE! If you do not own in this building you are definitely frowned upon! This place needs a complete over-haul of the whole staff. The building manager is LESS than friendly annd theā€¦Ā See More >

                        This message board is full of bitter tenants that want everything handed to them on a silver platter, and take no accountability. Here's a news flash to tenants: Save your money instead of pissing it away on crap and become a home owner. Maybe then,ā€¦Ā See More >

                          I have owned here for the past few years and now the management company has allowed renters lately (old ladies so to say). Renters are nasty, smelly terrible people, but then again, so is our building mananger. Who cares, right? Well, J.J.,ā€¦Ā See More >

This building was recently rehabbed and though there has been some noise for additional construction (which is now complete) the condo board has done a great job getting this building in shape.
