I take it you haven't ridden your bike down to Fargo recently. That "4+1" or "3+1" (residential floors + commercial floor) design is prolific. This at least has roof line breaks and jut-outs to break up the visual lines. Nobody builds St Peter's Bascillica or the Taj Mahal today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rents are in line with other similar units in the market and there is a whole lot of convenience that come with this one.

I would've paid a couple hundred more, at least, to be that close to campus.... Especially if you would otherwise have to park outside, not having to drive to campus and then find parking during the winter would be a huge game changer.
