The quality of the buildings in the common areas such as hallways, stairwells, trash etc. is quite poor. Do not let the main building entry way fool you. It is a great location and though the staff try incredibly hard, this is not a luxury apartment building!!!!! Despite being very new, the conditions are less than appealing. The inside of my apartment is nice, but the hallway walls, carpets etc. are very worn and used looking. Since I lived here in less than one year, I had to have my hot water heater and dishwasher replaced. In addition, my place was not usable upon moving in and required a good scrubbing from my own cleaning person along with quite a few rearrangements of items due to electrical issues. Most upsetting, I was without hot water for the first six weeks on a consistent basis. Thank goodness, this is not my primary residence. The walls in the buildings are thin, but if you are used to city living- it is nothing out of the ordinary for a noise factor. I'd consider renewing, if I can know the amenities will be up and running this summer which include a pool that is HEATED to a constant temp. and an on demand fitness room. Last item, the trash area is a dump no pun intended.
