Broker & Resident Comments

This sprawling East Side complex offers "surprisingly spacious" apartments amid "beautiful grounds" with "lovely flowers" and "community amenities." While the "park-like setting" and "outdoor spaces" draw praise, residents note "paper-thin walls" and "challenging" temperature control. The "mixed community" of families, professionals and students creates a "diverse atmosphere," though noise can be an issue. "Modern appliances" and "maintenance service" receive mixed reviews, while recent years have seen "significant rent increases." Best for those who prioritize "space and greenery" over perfect quiet.
