I’ve lived in this building for over 10 years. I’ve found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Maintenance work is done quickly and professionally although the guys always seem rushed lately. I lived through the “bugs and garbage chute” issues and that’s one major reason why I’m not giving a 5 star score. But since then there has been quite a bit of work done inside and outside the building. It’s an older building so major unkempt like redoing all the balconies can be a bit disruptive. The old-fashioned hot water heating system is really archaic and wasteful. The heat is either on full or off so windows are open most of the winter to keep the temperature a little cooler. Absolutely disappointed by the new indoor a/c units. They’re noisy, ugly and not at all powerful enough for the average apartment. There has got to be a better option! I’d love to see a “seniors” hour for the pool that could use the addition of an angled ramp for better access by disabled tenants. There is family time and adult time, neither of which is workable for seniors. As noted, I’ve been here over 10 years. As required, worn out appliances have been replaced and the bathroom floor was refinished, however I’m living with worn out old carpet and dingey walls that may never get updated. Yes, dogs bark, kids yell, hockey fans get a little loud and boisterous but my view looks into a quiet and peaceful green space with mature trees and a family of crazy squirrels. Can’t beat that!
