I have lived at Cranbrook Towers for 2 years now and it is wonderful to live in a place where I feel safe and comfortable and welcomed. The management is caring and efficient. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and it is more than adequate in size. It should be noted that in the bathroom and in the bedroom there are emergency pull cords which is a comfort when you are a senior citizen. Recently they installed new refrigerators new ovens new range hoods new air conditioners and even remodeled are balconies. In addition they have repainted all the public areas as well as installing new carpet and new flooring where needed. Currently they are in the process I've been stalling new elevators. It is fascinating to me that Cranbrook Towers has a large population of Asian Americans and quite a number of people from India as well as Russia so it is truly a cosmopolitan senior citizen complex.
