I lived at Maxfield for 5 years and moved *only* because my partner and I moved in together (there wasn't enough space for both of us in the Maxfield units). I absolutely loved my studio though - the high ceilings, exposed pipes, and clean, updated everything.
I always appreciated the helpfulness of Jonathan and Alex, who were the main contacts during my residency.
My favorite though, was Richard, the maintenance lead. He was consistently quick to respond to maintenance requests, always friendly, always kind. He even helped me hang a few pieces of artwork because I couldn't do it on my own! I deeply appreciated him and the crew, who showed pride in the upkeep and cleanliness of the building - lobby, gym, elevators, garbages, entryway.
Thought it's not worth removing a star, it's worth noting that the front desk staff has seen a lot of turnover over the years. And honestly, their service and temperament have been... uneven. Not as consistently stellar as when I first moved in, with Jonathan and Alex as first points of contact - they've since been promoted (!). But, I moved out in July, 2024 so hopefully that's worked itself out and the front desk staff at Maxfield are back to offering excellent service all around.
Anyhoo, I'm writing this review so many months after moving because this year, I missed seeing the NYE fireworks out of the beautiful windows of my Maxfield unit (the #5s)! lol And I want to affirm my primarily warm experience there and encourage new tenants to consider Maxfield as your home, as long as you're gonna care for it as well as Richard and his team do :)
(And, as long as you're comfortable navigating the surrounding unhoused community. I never felt unsafe, but not everyone has the same sense of safety.)
