My wife and I moved in on the first day thorndike exchange, and ever since then, there’s been nothing but good vibes from everyone that works here.. Nicolette, the leasing agent, George the maintenance manager, and pill the maintenance person are all awesome people and make you feel welcome. We moved from California and already lived in two other places that were just OK. Thorndike exchange is the best place so far, it’s nice and cozy and actually feels like home. Walking distance to downtown, and 24 hour security (LRTA). Also, can’t wait for the restaurant, bar, and coffee shop to open up. Rooftop soon to come as well.
