I moved into Roosevelt Towers about a year and a half ago.

Here are the pros:
Location, location, location.
Priced on the high side of reasonable but still reasonable for what it is.
Plenty of parking.

Here are the cons:
While they have done lovely improvements to the common areas, the apartments themselves are starkly utilitarian.
Mice. They may be cute but I dont want them scampering across my living room floor when I have a guest over, thank you very much.
The closure of the balconies for 8 months was ridiculous.
The elevators are tiny and are closed every weekend for someone moving in or out. 6 flights of stairs is great exercize; especially when one is carrying groceries.

What has me moving out soon (thank God for choosing to go month-to-month -- for a fee) is the new policy of charging me for utilities mid-lease. It's a BS move and increases my rent by $60-70 a month, taking the cost from high side of reasonable to unreasonable. But more to the point, if they had been honest and said, hey, gotta increase the rent next lease period I'd have respected them. Doing it this way feels like I am being raped and I dont appreciate that.

So farewell, Roosevelt Towers. You were...ok. But it sure is going to suck having to close down the too-small elevators all day one saturday in order to move out...
