I like living here. It’s very quiet as far as the building goes. Maintenance is on point with all of their services that they do. My only problem with the building is that should have more amenities, but they don’t.

Staff are friendly and helpful, and the amenities are nice. But maintenance could definitely be better. Machines in the gym (e.g., treadmills) have been out of service for more than 3 months. And washing machines in the common laundry keep failing and are not replaced.
There are events frequently organized for the community by the management, but I would prefer that money from residents be used in maintenance and amenities rather than on events that I can rarely attend.

The common areas are always spotless, the community is respectful, and the location couldn’t be better. Having a coffee shop right downstairs is perfect for a quick change of scenery while working remotely. Everyone I’ve met around the building has been friendly, and I’ve had some great conversations here. I’m really loving Market Central!

I like how they have many events, the community is kind, and building is maintained well, cleaned often and overall pretty quiet. The 8th floor lounge is a great workspace.
