I lived in one of the studio units for 1 year. When I had first moved in, the heat didn't work from the ac, it was still cold outside. I had requested a repair, and they sent someone out to recharge the unit. Few months later, the heat hits and AC is no longer working. My power bill had gone up from the fan running 24/7, and it took way too long to repair. After complaining with management multiple times with no repair, they had provided a temporary portable AC unit, after I refused to pay rent. Eventually was resolved.
The change in management shortly after move in was not quick and not the smoothest either. The exterior door to the stairwell was often broken, there was graffiti around the building, and people screaming in the alleyway in the middle of the night. The alleyway often smelled of cigarette smoke, as the neighbors would frequently smoke outside the building. There was also a person in the neighboring building that often played LOUD music with his window open, all day and hours into the night. It was audible from inside the unit. The Trax is nice to have so close, but can be disturbing inside the units to some. I got used to it. The graffiti was never cleaned to the day I moved out as well.
Overall, it was nice to be in a fresh unit, although you can tell they were built cheap. The lack of parking and cameras/security was a big downside,however. If you need a decent place to stay, it's worth it for the right price. Under 900/month for the studio in my opinion, although they seem to be asking for about 1000 right now, for 400 SQ ft. If you can stretch your dollar further for a nicer place with amenities, I'd look elsewhere. I would've rated 2 stars if it weren't for management trying to resolve some issues during the stay, although not to expectations.
