“The walls here are not thin, you don't hear what's going on next door and they do not hear you. I love the peace and quiet I experience when I come home after a long day at work. They have a very sizeable laundry room in each building and even on the weekend you never have to stress over the availability of washers and dryers. Every floor has a garbage chute never have to struggle with garbage again and we have elevators, no more hauling groceries up all those stairs.”
