Dow's Lake Towers. I was warned not to use the elevators as they usually jam, there was broken glass and garbage in most of the hallways and it smelled like rotting food inside. On two of the several times I was there (a friend from undergrad lived there) we had to vacate because of a fire alarm. His unit was absolutely disgusting as well, although he deserves some of the credit for that one. |
It doesn't look that bad on the outside, but yeah, that area (Bell St. South and Cambridge St. South one block over) doesn't have the best reputation. Though there has been some gentrification in the area.
