In need of a facelift

The "new" management needs to start looking at reviews being left by current residents - lack of screens, (code violation), lack of adequate security, lack of laundry facilities that are a supposed amenity - Building 7 laundry room has been out since before CHRISTMAS DESPITE… See More >

    Old, Outdated, Overpriced, and Awful

    I would not recommend these apartments to anyone. The buildings are really old (from the 1950s), and the apartments still have the old heating system, windows, kitchen cabinets, etc. Almost all of the residents are international students from India who room together, so each apartment… See More >

          Things change every decade and this new decade brings less staffing that do the best they can with the amount of people they have to deal with. Look forward to more interaction with the staff this summer.

                                        This is a nice community and the apartments are nice but I think once you have a plumbing problem it's time to move if it's not corrected after the 2nd time ! Also tenants should be giving an option to move once a building is… See More >

                                          Don't move here if you want a quiet building. Residents are rude and congregate loudly in front of bldg late at night. Garbage trucks come everyday, which is good, but they come on the weekends early in the morning and wake you up.… See More >

                                            The residents often mostly keep to themselves, neighbors don't generally interact much. I have dogs and many of my neighbors are afraid of them, despite my dogs giving them no reason to be. We get very unwelcome vibes often, which makes living here uncomfortable. My… See More >

                                                I like the community because it's close to my job, close to downtown, close to the beach and lakefront, it has a gym, computer room and social room. It has many restaurants, grocery stores and other stores in the area.
