    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Historical Background: Originally a Catholic elementary boys military boarding school in the 1950s and 1960s, this building has a rich history, including tales of bats in the "castle towers." It was transformed into a senior living residence in the 1970s due to declining enrollment and the high costs for Catholic families.

    Resident Feedback: Reviews on the senior living residence are mixed. Some residents appreciate the high ceilings, spacious apartments, and the building's historical charm, including its early 1900s architecture, winding marble staircases, and leaded glass windows. The renovated apartments with modern amenities, warm wooden floors, and carpeted bedrooms are highlighted as positives. The management and residents are described as friendly and gracious, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.

    Concerns: However, some concerns were raised about the size of the apartments, with one review mentioning a very small kitchen and insufficient cupboard space. Another review noted the smell of smoke in the hallways. Additionally, there's a question about pet policies, specifically regarding the acceptance of dogs.

    Amenities and Services: The building offers various government programs for discounted rent, though it does not support Section 8. The sales staff is commended for being accommodating and patient, making it an attractive option for seniors looking to downsize. The building's renovation and the privacy and respect among residents are highly praised.

    Overall Recommendation: Highly recommended for seniors seeking a blend of historical charm and modern living, with spacious apartments and a friendly community. However, potential residents might want to inquire about specific concerns such as pet policies and smoke-free environments.
