Other apartments of this size in this area cost up to 3k more per month so this is great value. It has a balcony, but not a very fancy common area, but that was never a big factor in our search. The gym is small, but this park, located at 12th Street and Reed Street, has some pretty good equipment, especially the Peloton machine. Also a bit further from the typical Wharton super dog friendly!” but worth the trip. It is a large gravelled area with tree stumps to climb on and picnic tables for the owners. 26
