Leasing a new place can be daunting, but Zev, the leasing manager at The Onyx on Sheridan, made the process a breeze. His knowledge and patience stood out, ensuring I found the perfect apartment. Shaya, the property manager, also deserves recognition for maintaining a top-notch living environment.

I had a tour at this property and it was amazing! The lobby was just redone and it looks beautiful and clean. Zev walked me through the units and he was outgoing and wonderful to be around. Shaya made me feel like I want to live here forever. The whole staff was such a pleasure. I would suggest you take a look at these properties even if it's just to meet the staff!
