I had to live here for a few months when I moved from New Jersey. Management was very nice and respectful. The other tenants in the building were nice and stayed to themselves. It’s not the cleanest place I must admit (and maybe they can work on that) but to survive it did the job. I think this place is ideal for singles but not families (mainly because bathrooms are shared) but to each is own.
