While I'm generally happy here, I strongly forewarn against a 2nd floor unit. Very poorly insulated (I know it's an apartment, but still...). My heating bill would heat a 3 bedroom house. I turn it down to 65 or 66 when I leave for work and 67 at night and this month's bill is $254!! My stairwell is absolutely freezing and has to be a factor too. The neighborhood is quiet but I can hear neighbors alarm clocks, muted conversations, blenders, cabinet doors closing, you name it. Better have a big wad of cash saved up for the winter months before choosing a 2nd floor unit. Thumbs down!!!
