I've leased at Axis since 2019 and Group Fox's management of the property has steadily gotten worse. Building - Pros 1. Apartment views and skydeck views. 2.

                        The apartment themselves are fine. The hallways smell like trash and the elevators are slow. Despite all of this, the main reason NOT to live here is the property management. If you run into any issue, and eventually you will, they will NOT help you.ā€¦Ā See More >
