| - Since most people only leave reviews when they have had a bad experience and are pissed, I thought I would leave one for others who might be in the same place I was when I found this place. I was nervous because of the reviews but after taking a tour with Teresa I knew this was going to be my new home. Like any other complex their are pros and cons so I'll share what I've found and even talk about some of the stuff I disagree with as far as other negative reviews.
Pros:
Obviously the location is fantastic and as a coffee fanatic it's amazing to be able to walk to at least 7 different places to fulfill my addiction. Everything you could really need is in walking/biking distance.
The leasing office is so friendly and helpful. We had a little issue with paying rent the first month we moved in and they were able to solve it right away.
The complex is mostly indoors with ceiling fans, so you're not going to melt just getting to your apartment. Since the complex is mostly indoors, it is very secure. Unless you live on the first floor right off the street it's pretty close to impossible to have a break in.
The courtyards are seriously beautiful and the property is so well maintained.
Maintenance is so friendly and efficient.
I'm not sure about some of the other units but our ceilings are super high which is awesome living in a studio it definitely makes this place feel massive.
Alright now the cons:
Like everyone else has said, this is in the city so of course there are some homeless people. Although, some people have been pretty dramatic about the volume in my opinion. If you don't want to be near homeless people don't move downtown.
During the weekends, especially at night, it can be difficult to find parking. In saying that though, there are literally multiple elevators and 3 sets of stairs so people complaining about this is honestly pretty stupid.
First Friday. I love going to first friday just as much as the next person but if you live on the first floor people do walk right outside the building and they are loud and you will hear them.
If you choose to move in to a unit, particularly on the lower levels, that is right next to the stairs in the garage you will hear people coming home at night pretty consistently. I couldn't stand it for the first week but I got used to it pretty quickly.
Also, I haven't seen any rats, bugs or anything gross for that matter here. The pros really outweigh the cons and this complex instantly felt like home. If you're worried about any of the negatives people have mentioned come check the place out yourself and you'll feel at ease.
