Love it, and Barbra White is wonderful.

From: twostep459
Date posted: 2/8/2008
Years at this apartment: 2007 - 2008
 
Pros:
- Excellent Staff
- Excellent Management* (I will speak more about this at the end, I personally think Barbra White is wonderful)
- All the utilities are included, so its one bill a month
- Nice and warm in the winter, and plenty of warm water
- It's got a great view from both sides of the building
- The apartments are all re-carpeted and re-painted before you move in, so they look really nice
- They put fresh soap and toilet paper in your apt when you move in, which is a lifesaver
- Prompt response time on maintenance requests
- The building is well constructed- I rarely hear any noise from the neighbors, above, below, to the left, or to the right.
- Laundry and Gym on the 1st floor both open 24 hours a day, and included in the rent.

Cons:
- The kitchens are small
- It isn't the best location for public transportation, but you just have to be more creative. Along with the 75 and 72, there is also the 71 and 73 which are only a ten or fifteen min walk.

* My experience with Barbra White has been nothing but good. There was even a situation where I was in violation of one of the terms of lease (albeit a minor one, and I have always paid the rent on time) and I got an official letter from Barbra White to come talk to her about it. I had previously read the reviews on this site, and was a bit nervous about meeting with her. I went to her office, we talked, and joked a bit. At no point was she rude, mean or unreasonable. She was accommodating, and understanding, and we quickly and easily reached a decision to fix the problem.

Living here is great; that has been my experience through and through.
