Do not rent an apartment facing the square unless you enjoy subpar, loud folk music every Tuesday night, and other annoying events, during the summer. You won't able be to hear your TV, read, study, etc. even with your windows closed. Truly an awful experience when trying to relax. Be prepared for rent increases EVERY year and a very stringent lease language if you need to break your lease. Maintenance is great and responsive. If you need something fixed, it's done. Snow removal and ground upkeep are top notch, but they should be when charging over $2k/month.
