“I love the way Rea manages the building. The people are friendly and welcoming. Rea stays on top of everything. It’s a great deal. I’ve rented since I got separated and divorced in 98.’ This is the best of all the apartments where I’ve lived. A good reason is Rea really runs this building like a Swiss clock.it has plenty of amenities and they reward my good credit. They’ve fixed things immediately. They keep up with everything. I only wish it wasn’t as close to a bike coffee shop, it can get pretty noisy. Luckily the windows are thick and the walls are thick so it’s a lot more quiet than in some buildings where I’ve lived.”

“It’s a great building in a very walkable area. Very convenient neighborhood with everything you need. The building is secure and visually appealing. The apartments have great views but are small. You can hear noise from anywhere in the apartments at any given time. As long as you’re okay with that, the place is fantastic and a great value.”
