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.

I love my unit; spacious, clean, modern, and great lighting. I haven’t checked out the amenities yet, but they seem good. Elevator being down is really inconvenient. Move-in process needed better communication.
