Newport is fine if you want the highrise views of NYC thing. You can also look at Grove pointe if you want a high rise that is closer to a real neighborhood. Of course your cheapest bet would be a unrenovated townhouse or tenement style building.

I've lived in the Thomas Jefferson Bldg for almost 20 years and have been very satisfied. Maintenance has always resolved my problems. I've had bugs and was put on the list so that the exterminator comes twice a month and the bugs went away.

Of course I've had incidents I could grouse about but for the most part management has been responsive and reasonable.

The biggest problem I've had living at Newport is with the public school system. After 6th grade there are few/no good choices other than private school.

Thanks so much for your comments so far. What would some other options be? Sorry, I don't know the area....

I heard the area is opening a flea market there !

There are probably better options at that price point than Newport.

Don't do it ! But if you do at least you're only renting so any negative discoveries will prompt you to run for you life. It's not so easy if you own, just watch your pennies.

Hi all,

I'm thinking of moving into the Newport complex (either the Pacific or another newer building). I've read a lot of posts online about problems with bugs and bad service. Can any of you speak to these concerns?

Thanks!
