Hot-water and maintenance problems
Some residents report prolonged hot-water and service outages.
A recurring complaint in the reviews is losing hot water for extended periods, sometimes paired with construction or constant repairs.

Rent and parking can feel misleading
A small set of reviews questions rent affordability and disclosures.
While other residents describe the rent as affordable or cheap for the area, at least a couple reviewers say the advertised low-income pricing did not match what they experienced. One of these reviews also says parking adds an extra cost that makes the total more expensive than expected. Another review echoes that the stated affordability didn’t align with what they could afford after learning more.
caveat
2 reviews mention this
Eviction process leaves lasting stress
Some residents describe the eviction process as traumatic.
Two reviews independently mention that the eviction process was traumatizing. In those same comments, at least one reviewer otherwise characterizes the location positively, suggesting the concern is specifically about how that process was handled rather than the neighborhood. These mentions stand out among otherwise positive reviews about staff helpfulness and responsiveness.
