| - I've been living at reserve square for the past 2.5 years and it really is not as bad as people say. You wont get an apartment in this price range that is this nice (any cheaper than this will have serious problems).
PROS
-The apartments themselves are nice. I live in one of the renovated ones on the west side and I honestly love my apartment.
-The walls are concrete= you dont hear ANYTHING! I'm so used to constantly hearing other people through walls but that's not an issue here. You can occasionally hear people in the hallway through the main door, but that's rare.
-The leasing office is great. They've always been very responsive if Ive had any problems.
-Security: The west side has a security guard 24/7 which is nice since being in downtown can be a little sketchy
-The area: Its close to alot of fun places in downtown and sporting events. You do have to be careful about walking around alone at night, but you should in any downtown
-Gym: it has all the basics. Sometimes machines are broken, but they are pretty quick about repairing it
-Utilities are included: This has saved me sooooo much money. Basically water and trash are covered. They pay for heating & AC. You pretty much only pay a $29 fee (which never fluctuates) for your utilities + electricity bill (mine is usually $20-30).
CONS
-Closet space. The particular unit I'm in is 700sq ft and the closet & coat closet is way too small. I have many friends in this building and their closet space is significantly larger than mine, so make sure you check the specific unit layout when you come
-Community laundry: You know that's an issue coming in. I wish the place would have in unit laundry. However, Ive never had an issue getting a washing machine/dryer when I need it.
-Garage: its owned by another company that isn't reserve square (so the management cant do anything about this) but the monthly parking fee has increased from $75 to $135 in 2.5 years which is crazy. The first time they bumped up the fee, they made a statement how they haven't done it in years and they need to keep up with other garages, two months later, bumped up the fees again, with no fluffy statement as to why. I understand prices do rise, but how about a yearly increase in the parking fee and not when you feel like it? But since its convenient, you put up with it.
-Pool: it has been out of service for about more than 50 percent of the time I have been here, but that was never a big deal for me.
-Bugs: when I first moved it, I did see a roach, got the apartment exterminated, and haven't seen a roach in over 1.5 years (thank the lord)
-They control when the heating is on and when the AC is on. You do have a thermostat (however i can never tell the difference when I have set it to 75 vs 65). This only becomes an issue during the transition months when its super hot and the AC hasnt turned on (that's just 2-3 months that you just have to deal)
Overall, I do feel the PROS outweigh the CONS. I've enjoyed my apartment and I would recommend it to others. In this price, you wont get anything nicer (especially a place that covers your utilities- heating can get expensive in winter).
This building is pretty popular because of the price and location so if you are interested, you can reach out months in advance (more than 60 days) to sign a lease.
