First and foremost, the staff is wonderful! The staff is one of the main reasons that it is a great place to live here. They fix any issues quickly and efficiently, and the snow removal in the winter is amazing! The apartment is spacious, and the upgrades with granite counter tops, washing machine and dryer in the apartment make the apartment very comfortable. Although rent is a bit high, the area is in a prime location, some utilities are included, parking is included and snow removal in the winter is unbeatable. The downsides are that the dryer doesn't have much of an area to vent in the apartment, and the windows/sliding doors are old. The windows let a lot of cold air in and they do rattle when wind blows. As for other noise, the train is close but the sound is not overly loud. I can hear neighbors more easily than I can hear the train. The neighbors are pretty quiet, but you can hear them walking around every now and then. I would say that overall, the apartment complex is quiet, and most of the noise comes from outside or the heater. Every place is going to have pros and cons, no matter where you live. I would recommend this apartment complex to anyone. I enjoy living here and I love that you can have cats, but I wish they allowed dogs in the building as well.
