I lived there between 2014 and 17 and based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend. Here are the reasons:
1. Please check out the water heater in the mechanical room, accessible through the balcony. My water heater was falling apart, rust everywhere. I have witnessed couple apartment's heaters go bust and flow through the balcony.
2. Heating system gets hot water from the water heater and passes it through coils inside the furnace. Not an actual gas furnace. Thus, the entire heat for the house comes from the water heater. And somehow, the water heater didn't generate enough heat in the mornings. Not enough hot water to shower nor to heat the apartment.
3. AC outer units were awfully old, AC pipes' insulation already crumbled due to age. AC interior units also very old. So, AC doesn't suffice to cool the apartment, in case you are at the top floor (we were).
4. Our friends living in a bottom floor complained about rats.
5. Walls are paper thin.
6. One of the staffers at the management office was rather mean. We had a new born son and he was crying time to time (as usual) although he was a rather silent one. Per the downstairs neighbor's request, the staffer started coming to my door and warning my wife to keep the baby silent with a rather mean language. After this repeated a couple times, I had to read though the Fairfax Tenant Rights document and send an email to the management office reminding them my rights and warned them not to repeat the process. Only then, the harassments stopped.
7.Parking sometimes gets to be a problem.
Nice things:
1. Maintenance was quick.
