It's a great location and has parking which is a plus for the location.
Pros:
-cable is cheap
-has a seasonal pool
-great doormen
-great views (floor to ceiling windows)
-great, fabulous, fantastic maintenance men (they were so helpful and prompt for us)
Cons:
-Old fashioned heating/a/c units in each room. Very inefficient heating. Our first heating bill was $200 /month!!!! We learned that we needed to add the plastic sheets (from Ace) to the windows each winter to keep the heat in and the cold air out since the windows leaked air continuously.
-We were on the 2nd floor, but our unit flooded 3x in 3 years!!! We had mixed results from the management. The office staff (at that time) were nice to us, but the head management (Vintresca) was a jerk! Our living room had about 1-2" of standing water, yet he didn't want to replace the carpet. (The unit flooded because of the poor window construction. Since you're right off the lake with high winds, any rainstorms and high winds would push the rain/water through the windows into the floor.
-Pool usage is a bit pricey ($50/summer)
-parking is a bit cramped and spots are close together
-no garbage disposal (this caused our sink to flood over Thanksgiving since the water backed-up into our unit)
Overall, it was a great experience to live at 65 E. Scott for the time that I did. However, I felt that we had to fight for every little thing (esp. with the flooding problems).
