Reviews

What residents praise

The landscaped roof with grills, fireplace, pizza oven and city views is a recurring highlight for residents and events.

What residents complain about

Freight-train noise is difficult to ignore

Multiple residents describe trains running close behind the building through the night, often alongside road traffic. Check the exact apartment's exposure with the windows closed.

Heat, hot water and appliances can fail for extended periods

Residents report recurring HVAC, hot-water, window and appliance problems, including some that continued for weeks or months.

Management response and added service charges frustrate residents

Reviews describe slow or dismissive follow-through and charges for services such as package handling or amenities, making the complete lease terms important before signing.
