  • Great place

    April 17, 2024
    Been here for a few months and can’t complain. Great views. Good management and good maintenance staff. Wish I found sooner
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Awful place to live

    June 2, 2019
    Those other reviews are fake. It's an awful place to live. Trains blowing their horns and squealing their brakes all night long. The management is so awful it's almost nonexistent. There's frequently barf in the elevators and kids run up and down the hallways all day and night and it sounds like a herd of rhinos.

  • One Bedroom Apt is Tiny

    September 1, 2017
    My one bedroom should be listed as a studio. The two bedrooms are better but the second bedroom is closet-sized. New managers (as of July) I am not impressed with as when you go into office, you're not greeted -- they just sit there and don't respond when you state your business! The good? Nice location and neighbors. Janitor staff is good. The bad? Elevators are filthy even though they are cleaned weekly. No amenities except small lending library. Parking is also a major problem.

    I have lived here for more than once. They are great apartments especially for the price and the convient location downtown. I love living here and although the complex could use a few more amenities, there is a reason why I came back here. The management is friendly and willing to accommodate your needs as well as fix issues that may arise.

  • Esther Short Commons Review

    August 19, 2015
    I really enjoy living at my building, and have lived there for about 5 or 6 years now. I have a lovely view overlooking the most popular community park, and a great balcony to enjoy the outdoors during nicer weather. I do wish that the building didn't have such a high turnover of staff. For years, it was well maintained and always clean, but now the new management doesn't seem to be as meticulous about cleanliness. I also wish that you could receive tenant improvements just like any other new ...
    tenant that moves in. I still have old flooring and counter tops and have lived here for quite some time, while a brand new tenant is receiving upgrades and improvements and we're still paying the same price.
