The Brittany

Great location, very courteous staff (the best!) and great amenities. Building is also very clean and well maintained.

However, the building is not a smoke free environment and it seems like people smoke drugs quite often. Management was helpful adding an additional layer of insulation around unit door to prevent odor from coming into apt. but that is as much as they can really do considering current smoking rules. Despite all the great pros, and there are many, this issue alone warrants consideration especially for people with families.

First a disclaimer: I live there now and I am biased! Okay, with that out of the way, I have to say it's a nice place to live on the city. The apartments are relatively modern and very, very clean. The staff is pretty god for the most part and it had good access to the highway and there is both a private shuttle and the x86 bus to the 4, 5, and 6 train

We've been living in the building for over 4 years. The building itself is nice and so was the initial state of the apartment; however once the appliances break, they replace them with the old ones that break again shortly thereafter (not to mention they are discusting and need to be thoroughly cleaned). In addition, they do not fix the hardwood floors after 3 years that now after 4 years look horrible. Considering how expensive the building is, the apartments should be kept up in a pristine state and appliances changed to new every 3 years. But that's not the case; thus we will be looking for a different building next year.
