Julia A., M1
I love living in The Orion! It’s conveniently located right above Whole Foods in the Central West End, a short 10- to 15-minute walk to the Medical Campus. The management team and staff are all very kind and always there to help with any concerns. I love hosting my friends in my apartment and the common spaces. We particularly enjoy playing pool and board games and chatting over coffee, chai, or hot chocolate from the free machine in the game room. The building also has a rooftop pool, grilling areas, and a fitness center. Management hosts events about twice a month, most recently a sip & paint night and parties to celebrate Labor Day and Oktoberfest. Parking is on top of the Whole Foods garage and there is someone at the front desk 24/7. It’s a great place to live and I highly recommend it!
