September 18, 2024Everything is great except for the door constantly being open in the mail room leading to the garage. It makes it smell in the mail room. And also the mail room door to outside always being unlocked. Anyone can enter and I’m not always comfortable with that.Review from Apartments.com

September 17, 2024I’ve enjoyed living at the Core! It’s very quiet and no loud neighbors. Trash does get picked up regularly. Very dog friendly as well with available dog stationsReview from Apartments.com

September 17, 2024The apartments are modern and provide ample space with how they are organized. My favorite aspects are the in unit laundry and modern kitchen appliances. The building also has a small gym, rooftop lounge and small hot tub which are very nice to use. The only cons are that most residents have dogs and sometimes there is dog poop left along the grass outside and in walkways, which is disgusting. Additionally, individuals will leave their trash next to the dumpsters which smells and creates a ...mess. All in all I recommend core!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
