The level of transparency this property provides distinguishes it as a great rental. With a high attention to detail and desirable features, renters can be sure they will get an accurate picture of their potential new home.

Property highlights

We compared every listing in the surrounding area to determine which amenities are most common. If a building lacks an amenity that most others in the area have, it is a con. If a building has an amenity most others in the area do not, it is a pro. Similarly, price, schools, and size are calculated relative to the size, price, and distance to schools of the other properties nearby.
