Most mentioned: Maintenance, Value, Amenities
A GrandMarc resident liked the short walk to campus, quiet experience and usable small gym, but thought rent was high.
A commenter who previously lived at 26 West found GrandMarc much more comfortable, with friendly management and quick maintenance, though somewhat expensive.
A resident reported a recurring water-heater problem that needed resetting every few weeks, after maintenance showed them how.
