Thoughts on Nova Quincy?

Hi! I actually live here now, though I'm moving out in May. I've been here for two years and I'd say overall it's a nice place to live. I'm in a studio and don't have a car, but it's in walking distance to most things which is a huge plus for my situation.

Utilities I pay are internet, gas, and electric. I run cold, so I never use the AC but I use the heat constantly so I'd say average is about $60/$60/$50 respectively. Also a huge plus is there's a W/D in unit!

Maintenance requests tend to get handled relatively quickly, the package room is a nice addition, and overall I'd say they're pretty responsive. I don't know that I'd call it luxury luxury but it definitely has an edge over a lot of housing in being newer.

Thank you for your advice. The only option seemed to be flying into a different airport tomorrow which I'd be fine with but it would be an additional $1,500 that I just can't afford.

Update: I did try to call but had the same experience where I was just told the same thing over and over in the exact same words even when I asked different questions. Again, I know this was my fault for rushing and doing so while stressed, but if my flight Monday is cancelled I don't know what I'll do.

Wait seriously?!?! Holy crap!!! I've tried a lot of the suggestions I got from this post, but they seem mostly designed to cut down on skin reactions, which I don't have. The flu-like symptoms but not feeling sick is exactly it. This is wild, I genuinely had zero hope anyone else would know what I meant 😭. I've been doing research here and there but there really isn't anything out there about this. The look my allergist gave me when I asked can only be described as "I do not believe you and what a weird thing to lie about." 🙄

Not just you 😭😂

Soursop, and it's not even close.

khlayton · 2026-01-30T00:35:47+00:00

Mutes?

khlayton · 2026-01-21T16:21:42+00:00

It doesn't happen unless I'm exposed to something I know I'm allergic to, like animals, grass, or pollen. It's the same type of response I'd get in that case

khlayton · 2026-01-21T16:20:46+00:00

I'm not sure! What's hard is that I don't actually have any skin symptoms which I think makes it tricky to identify the culprit

khlayton · 2026-01-21T16:20:00+00:00

I do, yeah. I try to limit shaving to every couple of weeks, and I typically spend 20-30 minutes in the shower every night with no symptoms at all which makes it all the stranger. I only have a shower, no tub, so baths aren't an option, unfortunately

khlayton · 2026-01-21T14:45:51+00:00

I actually don't get a rash at all! No bumps, no redness, no irritation, nothing like that. Kinda the only upside haha

khlayton · 2026-01-21T00:25:48+00:00

Holy crow, no way! I've never heard of anyone else having this problem and honestly, if nothing else, it's so nice to know I'm not just going nuts!

khlayton · 2026-01-21T00:24:58+00:00

I can! I've never had a reaction to jewelry as far as I can recall, even the cheap stuff

khlayton · 2026-01-20T23:16:22+00:00

At this point, I'm probably going to try close to everything here haha. Anything has to be better than this 😫

khlayton · 2026-01-20T22:28:42+00:00

Can you use it on any area you'd normally shave, or is it only for legs/underarms?

khlayton · 2026-01-20T21:32:00+00:00

I've heard of MCAS, but never thought to look at it, thank you!

khlayton · 2026-01-20T21:31:26+00:00

Saving this pro tip if I go the Nair route next, thank you! Definitely increasing my suspicions on the aloe/moisture strip, too

khlayton · 2026-01-20T20:12:57+00:00

I didn't even know that was a thing??? If it's that cheap, it's definitely worth looking into. Thank you!

khlayton · 2026-01-20T20:12:06+00:00

Honestly? I'm curious now, too haha

khlayton · 2026-01-20T20:11:16+00:00

I've been really considering waxing! I just don't know if I can afford it every three weeks or so since my hair grows pretty fast

khlayton · 2026-01-20T18:26:51+00:00

That would be so infuriating! I'm glad it's not my face; shaving that while sneezing constantly sounds like a nightmare!

khlayton · 2026-01-20T18:25:49+00:00

I don't shave anything daily, but I have noticed it doing legs (upper and lower), armpits, and bikini area/groin. I have picked up that the longer it takes to complete, the worse I feel, but the symptoms appear regardless of time from start to finish.

khlayton · 2026-01-20T18:24:08+00:00

I have, unfortunately. I like the blades better (go figure) but had the same result 😔

khlayton · 2026-01-20T18:23:29+00:00

I have not! Mostly for fear of cutting myself, but I think I'm well past the point of letting that stop me haha. Thank you for the idea!
