Does anyone live/have lived in the 784/790/796 Main Street buildings? They seem nice but I was wondering about the management/safety stuff (like do they fix maintenance issues, do packages get stolen, crazy rent increases etc.) Thanks! :)

I used to live nearby, though not in that building. Just a warning, there's a chocolate factory next door, and it makes the whole area smell like chocolate. You might think that's a good thing, but when you have to live with the overpowering stench of chocolate all day, you get tired of it real fast. Just be warned before you move in.

I live in one of these buildings and the management team is very responsive. We’ve been here 7.5 years and have had a great experience. For example, when we put in a maintenance request, someone usually comes by same day. They’re very good about fixing and/or replacing older fixtures. Also, the buzzer system they use is state-of-the-art.

thanks! :) What are the rent increases like? And is there a lot of package theft?

Never experienced package theft, only delivery to one of the other buildings in the row. Rent increases have been fair for the area but they do occur yearly.

Are you able to get in contact with them? Me and my partner have been interested in those apartments but they don't respond to our emails or phone calls.

I haven’t reached out, that’s def disappointing that they don’t reply to you!
