DO NOT MOVE HERE - WORST DECISION EVER…read more If you're considering moving into this apartment building, DON'T. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere. Here's what I've experienced: Terrible Maintenance: Requests take weeks (or longer) to get addressed, and when they do, it's a quick patch job that falls apart again. Pests Everywhere: Roaches, mice, you name it--management does nothing about it. Awful Management: They're rude, unresponsive, and only care about collecting your rent, not fixing issues. All common areas are filthy Noisy and Unsafe: Paper-thin walls, constant loud music, and zero security. I've seen stray cats wandering the halls Living here has been a complete nightmare. Don't make the same mistake I did--stay FAR AWAY!

Was apartment-hunting: Long story short, some guy called Dennis showed me around. Said he would…read morecontact me the day of to let me know exactly what he had, never heard back from the guy. What a way to give a first impression to a perspective tenant; that showed me the type of management they are. As far as the apartments are concerned, whatever sq ft he told me they were, was not the size. The one bedrooms are glorified studios with very poor insulation of the windows. You could literally see between the cracks. Good luck here during the winter time. Also, Dennis, never eat while walking and doing business. It is not only professional, but very disgusting.

Parking is a complete disaster there aren't nearly enough…read morespots for residents and the spaces are so tight people regularly take up multiple spots, which leads to constant towing. We dealt with mice in our unit and the heat in the winter barely worked. We had to rely on space heaters just to keep the apartment livable. Management is incredibly rude and dismissive when you bring up problems. Instead of helping residents, they respond with attitude and make everything more difficult than it needs to be. The move-out process was especially unpleasant and really showed how little they care about the people living there. Overall, extremely disappointing experience and not a place I would recommend to anyone.

Let's go ahead and start with the good. We will then transition into the bad and then into the very…read moreugly. I am going to be very to the point and give this place the honest review it deserves. Good This place has all utilities included, with the exception of WiFi and your cable, of course. That's great. It's a great deal from the outside looking in. It also has a clubhouse, a gym, and a pool. The gym is nothing to write home about but other amenities are generally okay. Bad Now for the bad. Mice. They say the mice come up from the basement at times especially if you have an apartment near the trash chutes. Service/Repair/Maintenance issues around here are really bad in general. They range from weird stuff that isn't that serious, like the elevator stopping at the 3rd Floor EVERY OTHER TIME you get on it, to water damage suddenly leaking into your apartment from a washing machine on the floor above. Damage was pretty much extensive as you would expect water damage to be. Floors needed redoing, walls and ceiling damage. Also there are strange water outages every now and again, these happened often when I moved in around October-January, then they died down afterwards. I noticed a reviewer before me noted that. The water issue is obviously very jarring when you're trying to get to work or school. The place is generally in need of a major upgrade. Looks great when you first come, but then you start to see the cracks all across the facility. Needs help overall. Ugly Management. I am not sure why but management is generally very apathetic and one of them is actually outright rude and has an attitude. The other two (the actual manager and the lady who sits in the front office) are decent. That said, some of the security people, who are generally cool said they have problems with management too. As far as tenants go, they move very very slowly with requests. Not sure what the issue is, perhaps more staff is needed. There used to be a really good Super who was very prompt and got things done well and quickly, however, he unfortunately left and things are being left undone.

I had a hot water issue for about 3 days upon move in, maintenance was able to turn my hot water heater up and now my water is been STEAMING hot. There have been some elevator issue on one out of three elevators. Guest parking hasn't been an issue because there are open street parking on the rear of the building with no time limit (granted, the guest will have to enter through the parking garage) . The concierge at the front desk are very friendly and easy to talk to. There's always someone in the leasing office to address any concerns. So far I have had a pleasant experience, but I will update this post when that changes. lol!

I scheduled and confirmed a tour but when I showed up there was no one there. I waited 10 mins over my scheduled time. Turns out the leasing agent got stuck in traffic. I got a call later on that day from management saying that the leasing agent got held up at another location (so the stories didn't match). A random staff member gave me a tour of one apartment and it was nice but did not have a lot of closet space. I felt like my time was not being appreciated so I left. I got zero communication from the leasing agent (to say sorry for the inconvenience) afterwards and they even sent me an email a day later saying "hope you enjoyed your tour" LOL

I told her not to get get an apartment here its not worth it. The staff is slow and incompetent. They ask for too much information for this ghetto place. We provided everything and they still took their sweet time. Like what the heck. They was going back and forth and when trying to explain things to them they just did understand. I finally got feed up and told them to cancel the application. Dont try to get an apartment here. Its not worth it and its a waste of time.

I've spoken to Maintenance and NOTHING has been done to resolve the situation. Now I'm forced to break the lease and the landlord refuses to even try to negotiate. This place is uninhabitable. Upper management is unhelpful and uncaring. The one exception is Samantha from the leasing office. She was kind, sympathetic, and tried to help me and my wife. Don't be fooled by how pretty the property looks from the outside. Please don't move here. I've had to throw away most of my clothes and furniture because of this issue. Protect your family and belongings. Stay away.

Would recommend Conrad and cooper&cooper to anyone in the market for either rentals or purchases!

The train station very close by and the express train to NYC Penn Station only takes 30 minutes. Highly recommend.

A Whole Foods and some cool and colorful art cutout life size sculptures are located on the main level. It appears retail shops can be set up here.
