When we stumbled upon this listing we couldn't believe that we found an apartment in such a great location that was within our budget. When we first toured the "Show room apartment" the broker was so sweet and gave us a full rundown of everything. Sh...

Move-in was an okay experience for me, but for others was a bit of a hassle. Only M-F, working hours, and everything must be carried down into the garage from the street to be brought into the service elevator. However, in the brief time that I've li...

Pretty nice apartments (esp. the A line), amenities are okay (would be nice to have a rooftop). Residents are mostly 25-40 y olds with either a dog or a baby. The reason we live here is mostly convenience -- building is right on top of the Hoyt-Scher...

It has improved since Waterton took over. Call me at 917-992-3397 and I will share my thoughts. I was one of the first in the building with my wife and now we have a daughter. It is a faux luxury building with fantastic staff and convenient location.

I really liked the Addison when I moved in three years ago, but the rent has gone up considerably while I feel the quality/service has declined. Maintenance staff is very difficult to work with, washers/dryers go unrepaired for weeks, etc.

Overall great experience with the community. Doormen, maintenance and staff have been very helpful. We feel very comfortable. We'd love more pet community areas if that was possible. Also, the possibility of roof access in the future would be great.

The units were not renovated as well as Waterton probably would have liked. It's annoying for residents and, I'm guessing, very expensive for ownership. The unit turnover should also be done more thoroughly. We had a number of issues upon move in.

This building has a courteous and attentive staff that works diligently to create a fantastic experience for tenants. The doormen are friendly, the building super is attentive and diligent, and the leasing office is accommodating and helpful.
