I mean, it's an apartment. your living with hundreds of people to not expect noise is beyond me, but im not that picky. With that said when I came to these apartments it just felt like home...i had been to other apartments in the area and this one just fit. I'm from LA and the urban style is the majority of apartments that you will find out there, so this place just seemed to fit. I will say that if you like the model you better speak up to management because there are a TON of different lay outs and you may be put into something you don't like. I am working with Anthony and he is the BEST he has worked with me to find exactly what I want and has be very helpful. I hope I still feel the same optimistic way in a yr, so Ill need to give an update after I have been here awhile.
