Apartment renovation quality varies

Some homes feel polished, while others draw complaints about hurried finishes, overheating and repeated fixes after move-in.

Laundry and renewal costs need an apartment-level check

In-unit laundry is not universal, and residents report substantial rent increases at renewal.
