North Commons is also a 6-minute walk away from Penn Station, which is undergoing $150 million worth of renovations over the next several years.

Typical unit features consist of black/stainless steel appliances, wood cabinets, hard surface countertops, and LVT/carpet flooring.

Properties of similar vintage that have undergone renovations of a comparable scope are achieving rents at least $200 higher on average than the Subject property.
