We have lived in our unit for over a week now and thought we had enough experience to post a review.
Moving In:
Criss was our main point of contact for our move in. Every little question we had was answered in a timely fashion. When we added a cat about a week before move in Criss was ready to go and sent us an addendum to our lease so we could move in quicker. All of our documentation was laid out before we moved in so we were prepared way ahead of time as to what was needed.
Unit Itself (Burst Floorplan):
By golly this is the epitome of Luxury Living. Everything is so new and well organized. Looking at the floorplan we were a little worried about fitting all of our things and storage, but we were way off. There is so much cabinet space and places for storage we didn't even think of. Lots of windows to bring in tons of light. Even on the bottom floor it feels very bright and airy. These units may come off a bit pricier than others, but to us it is WORTH the extra cost for how nice they are. It feels like a real home.
Complex:
Since this is new construction there is still a lot of work being completed (Pool, gates, and some of the units). Luckily you hardly notice the construction crews. Given we are at work from 6 to 4 so that is probably a large chuck of the day where they work. Even with the construction the property is really well kept and clean. The gym is brand new and has great lifting equipment. Only concern we had was there was only one dumpster that was open and with people moving in it filled up fast. However they opened up another one and it seems to have freed up plenty of space! Very well lit at night, and unlike previous complexes, we have actually seen the security vehicle perusing around making sure everything is good.
Location:
The Solana Community is nestled behind a few other complexes which make it a hidden gem. Very quiet and not on a busy street (Unless you count 215 which is just over the property line, but you can't even tell it is there). Every major chain restaurant and department store is within a 5 minute drive. Some major points:
Downtown Summerlin: 10-15 Minutes
Strip: 15 Minutes
Airport: 10 Minutes
Town Square: 10 Minutes
If you are an outside kind of person like us there are some great parks nearby and even a full fledged frisbee golf course!
Overall Solana seems like a great place to live if you are willing to pay a little bit more for comfort and aesthetics. We are excited to be apart of this wonderful community and look forward to making memories here!
