Reviews from the web

Showing 1 highest rated

I genuinely feared for my life living here. Homeless camps popping up and staying for months, constant police clashes with said homeless. Even saw some hit and runs and people freezing to death, all from the comfort of my balcony. Got charged everything from carpet cleaning fees (300$) (i had hardwood floors) to drip-pan replacement (150$). Rent used to be 900/mo in 2020, and they got another thousand in sudden fees upon leaving.

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.
