About This Lister

I’ve lived in this apartment and building for the past four years and it’s truly been a great home. The building is well run, the management is easy to deal with, and there’s a strong sense of community among neighbors. I’ve taken great care of the space, and everything functions exactly as it should. I’m only leaving due to a work-related move, not because of any issues with the apartment or building. I’m hoping to pass this home on to someone who will appreciate it as much as I have.
