For an older building, it’s pretty good. Elevators work great, hallways need updating. Condo fees are reasonable with utilities and cable included. Feels safe, and the staff are friendly.

The rooftop patio offers a rare quiet spot in the middle of downtown, perfect for unwinding with a skyline view that most buildings can’t match. The lobby has a modern art piece that really sets it apart from others nearby. Sometimes the heat system kicks in earlier than needed in spring, but it’s a small trade-off for the location’s convenience. The mix of longtime residents and students gives the hallways an interesting energy - not too noisy, but never boring.
