Great view, but that's it.

In a nutshell this is an apartment complex turned condominium, without most of the benefits of ownership. For starters, you can't regulate your own climate. The building management decides when to turn on the air conditioning and when to turn it off. Likewise with the heat. Theirs is such an old system that cooling and heat can't coexist. Meanwhile, the windows are so poorly fitted that all kinds of insects are constantly gaining access inside.
Oh, and though the old post-WWII condos down the street can be retrofitted with washers and dryers in units, no such luck here. You're stuck down in the stuffy coin laundry room downstairs.
While the complex boasts a gym in one of the three buildings, in reality it isn't accessible to the residents of the other two buildings. They won't give you a key to the building, so you have to wait outside for someone to let you in. Supposedly you can dial a code and get someone in the management office to let you in, but it doesn't work.
Finally, if you're a non-smoker, I don't recommend living here.
The only positive comments are that the views out the back of the building are wonderful, the common areas of the buildings are clean and well-maintained, and the convenience store is wonderful--very friendly staff serve great food.
