Three checks before choosing an apartment
- Test your real commute. Use the exact office and apartment addresses, your travel mode and normal travel hours. These ratings do not calculate a commute.
- Compare total monthly costs. Get current rent, parking, mandatory fees and pet charges for the actual homes and lease terms. The Value rating is not a current rent quote.
- Inspect your day-to-day setting. Walk the route to your preferred cafes, restaurants and gathering places. Check the actual unit's street exposure, building amenities and noise at the times you expect to be home.
Neighborhood Safety ratings are not a guarantee of safety. Factors labeled Editorial reflect Grant's assessment; editorial Safety ratings are not measured crime statistics. Missing ratings are unknown, not zero. Read the rating methodology and our data standards.
