We had so much fun living at the main for the past year! The building is very quiet, with great location, nice view, very good amenities, and friendly staff! Charity and Pam have been very helpful, maintenance is timely and effective. Our personal favorite is the ping pong table and bbq grill at the terrace. Sadly we had to move bc school/work but would love to live here for longer😭

My husband and I lived in The Main for two years -- we bought our own place and just moved out, but we will miss The Main very much! It is a beautiful building kept in tip-top shape, run by friendly, helpful people. The building's gym is the best I've seen, out of the buildings we visited when we were looking to rent and when we were looking to buy. The facilities in general are well designed and always clean. Also, the location is super convenient! The Main was a pleasure to come home to -- if only it sold units!
