Happily leaving

From: -Anonymous-

Years at this apartment: 2007 - 2009
 
Though the building is beautiful and the apartments have great views and there are more than enough amenities here, I am happy to finally be leaving. For the following reasons:
- It is expensive for what it is, I am now moving 1 block away and paying only $40 more for 500 additional square feet and an extra room
- You pay for a lot of amenities you may not use: gym pool better at EBC, computer lab never used (mainly university students use it)
- The management office is a pain; to book anything is really difficult
- There are TOO FEW elevators for the number of apartments, in the morning and evening rush you can easily wait 5min for an elevator
- There is no service elevator so at any given time at least one of the elevators is being used for a move or by maintenance
- Some of the neighbors are questionable, one even flashed his gun in the elevator, and I have seen the cops called to the building a couple of times
- You can hear your neighbors through the vents once there was a party 2 floors up and I could have sworn it was in my apartment

That being said what I liked:
- The doormen are really nice
- The maintenance is efficient
- the views are great
