Reviews

Residents often describe a friendly, community-sized building with strong concierge and maintenance staff, clean common areas and a useful mix of rooftop, work and fitness spaces. The main friction comes from the leasing and management office, especially around application timing, charges, communication and problems that cross between apartment construction and building access.

What residents praise

Concierge and maintenance staff make the building feel personal

Residents repeatedly praise warm front-desk greetings, fast maintenance and staff members who know the community and follow up on everyday issues.

The amenities are broad without feeling anonymous

The rooftop pool, gym, coworking rooms, lounges, courtyards and dog-friendly spaces are described as clean, useful and well suited to a mid-sized building.

Apartments and the developing neighborhood work well for many residents

Residents like the large windows, in-home laundry, comfortable layouts and growing mix of nearby restaurants and parks.

What residents complain about

Leasing, refunds and account charges can require repeated follow-up

Applicants and residents report slow paperwork, delayed hold-fee refunds, unexplained utility or payment charges and difficulty getting written answers.

Noise and construction quality vary by apartment

Complaints include thin walls, drafts, HVAC odors, poorly finished showers and earlier construction that caused significant morning noise.

Doors, garage access and parking management need attention

Residents describe frequently broken or propped-open entrances, garage-door failures, bike theft concerns and inconsistent enforcement of assigned parking.

Serious apartment problems have not always been resolved cleanly

A former resident describes months of shower drainage and mold problems followed by a disputed post-move-out balance; others report maintenance tickets closed before the issue was fully fixed.

Amenities

The Hazel has in-unit laundry, a part-time concierge and a fitness center. Shared spaces include a rooftop pool and grilling terrace, courtyards and a dog run, with garage parking and EV charging.
