Add Your Own Comment

This residential building offers "24/7 doorman service" and "convenient parking after 7PM and weekends," though tenants note the building's "thin floors" create "notable acoustics." While some praise the "professional management," others cite "varying response times" for maintenance requests. Located near a school, the building maintains a "lively neighborhood presence." The property draws mixed reviews for its upkeep, with some residents noting it's "safe" while others point to maintenance challenges. Best suited for those seeking doorman service who don't mind a "vibrant" acoustic environment.
