I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Walls are paper thin. I can hear when neighbors are playing a movie on higher volume or when they are having a conversation across different rooms. I can even hear when the person who lives above me wakes up and goes to the bathroom (I've never experienced that thin of walls from within an apartment none the less from a different floor). Mold is a problem here and have started to see it come out of my air ducts in my living room. Mix of a younger crowd as well as some families. On the weekends, the hallways are very loud with drunk individuals. Management is not helpful and will go out of their way not to help their tenants.Thomas Court looks great on the surface, but underneath is an overpriced apartment building with landlords who don't return calls and are never in their office.

Dear people. Do not make a mistake and NEVER sign a lease with this building and any other properties of Dittmar company. The management of the building is absolutely incompetent, non-responsive, and negligent. The building has insects, cockroaches, and woodlice. If you are situated close to the garbage room, you are going to smell it all your lease term. The building has no insulation and walls are worse than paper, you will hear ABSOLUTELY everything that happens in the building. And your neighbors will hear what you do. Also, as a bonus, there is a recycling car that comes to the nearby building at 5 am in the morning, and if you are lucky to live on this side of the building, no one is going to help you. If you don't have a strong sleep, you won't have any more sleep here. The building is not going to compensate you for any of their mismanagement, just because they don't care. And once you start to complain, they suggest you bring your lawyer. Also, they are going to hide your packages for several weeks, and after you complain everywhere, they suddenly discover them forgotten. They completely disregard your problems and ignore your emails when you ask questions. There are many beautiful and better-managed buildings in the area, stay away from Dittmar.
