2 elevators, one is always broken, sometimes garage door is janky, some units dont have windows that face the outside world, but ours has a beautiful view of the trees west of wampus. service requests and management are pretty good, i think they had an overhaul. Next term i resigned and my base rent went down by 130 dollars roughly. Signed late so got a good deal on rent
Broken elevator, poor WiFi, bad air ventilation, and the gym is at another Block location.
