You NEED separate utilities, especially if you are going to build a fresh new building, whatever it may be, make sure each unit is responsibly for their own utility usage.

It is what keeps this fresh to me.

If that is the cause, with some fresh air, the smell will go away pretty quickly.  

For example, will these jobs include primarily young families looking for a starter home with the white picket fence, or will they be made up of fresh out of college renters?

I love fresh  little wholesalers.
