I had a very disappointing experience with the apartment tour at this building. During my first visit in October, the leasing representative failed to share key information about the property. Specifically, based on my direct questions, I was told that:
• Amenities were included in the rent.
• There were no limits on the number of guests I could bring (for example, to the pool - which I explicitly asked).
• There was flexibility to negotiate on price or free months.
After the visit, I never received a follow-up email with a recap of the apartment details, which most buildings typically provide the same day. When I called two days later, a different staff member informed me that no free months were offered and that amenities were not included. I also followed up by email requesting to speak with the original representative but never received a reply.
I decided to schedule another visit, but I had a different staff member welcoming me, who explained that there are actually two types of amenities:
• Tier 1: $100 per person per year — can only be included in the rent during the first year of a lease, even for two-year leases.
• Tier 2: $1,000 per apartment per year — not included in rent.
He also clarified that each resident is allowed a maximum of two guests for all amenities.
After receiving this information, I made an offer for a 2 years lease. The counteroffer I received simply stated, “We can include Tier 2 in your lease,” with no price adjustment — completely inconsistent with what the first representative told me about “flexibility” in negotiations.
Overall, this experience showed a lack of transparency and poor communication between staff and customers. I would recommend staying away from this building, as it appears to advertise selectively and omit key details that can significantly impact your decision.
