All of these other reviews are spot on so I will not be redundant. Let me say that I CANNOT WAIT to move out of here. Since the day we moved in, we have heard lie after lie from the management (i.e. Amy) and have been treated with complete disrespect. The train is a huge problem and has been detailed in the reviews below. Another big problem: we were told months before moving in that we could have underground parking, and this was important as the building isn't exactly in the nicest area of town and there are frequently break-ins out on the street. However, upon moving in, we were not given underground parking as we were told it was ""completely full"". We would frequently visit the underground parking lot late at night and count >20 open spaces. That's a load of BS.
Another major problem with the management: the second you tell them your lease is up, and you must give them at least 30 days' notice, they will start touring your apartment at will. We would have >5 tours a week, and they would basically hold an ""open house"" on Saturdays. If you ever deny their request for a tour, they will come anyway. They have NO respect for your privacy. And they have the nerve to send you an email beforehand telling you to ""make sure your apartment is very clean and tidy and all your personal affects are stored away"".
Also, our hall smells like dog urine. And the elevator always has a puddle of dog urine. And winter heating bills are outrageously expensive (upwards of $300/month).
