The corner units ate above the garage which means yoy get a lot of noise fron the ground floor. You can also hear anytime the people above you turn on their water or walk theough the apartments and you can hear dogs barking and people talking in the hallways. The doors to the units are very thin.
I noticed rhat the flooring is uneven in the ground floor apartment. All of the electrical plugs are horizontal and some of the non-load bearing walls are crooked. There is little to no lighting in the apartment. For example there is no lighting in the bedrooms or the living room. You also get about five keys for a single apartment because every door has a different key.
