Overall so far I'm happy,,, however there isn't enough light in the living room. I don't know if I can replace the existing bulbs with LEDs that are brighter?

It has a no smoking in the building policy, which is not being really controlled, Construction and cleaning takes so long, Sometimes the residents have to suffer Under the construction for six months.

Pros: Units have excellent layouts and terraces are nice. Good lighting & ample windows. New maintenance person is a new positive for the property. Parking garage is nice.

Cons: Chronic marijuana smell & cigarette stench. Longstanding problem. Very filthy hallway carpeting and garbage room area on our floor. Management action regarding marijuana problem resolution is poor and close to zero. Management needs to up its game and focus on residents' quality of life. Improved responsiveness... to complaints would also go a long way.
