I agree with the other reviews - but for different reasons. The management company (LPC / Lincoln Properties) "big corporation" approach trickles down and causes onsite management to behave like detached drones.
Tradition at Kierland is as beautiful as it looks. . But it's not worth it! Be very afraid: Being "managed" by a huge property company means that the on-site management can do or say as they please (or do nothing) and hide behind "the company" since there is no one you can get ahold of in the event of a problem or dispute. The legal practices are questionable - like not showing you the entire lease until the day you move in - then you are surprised with some incredible terms: Sure, you don't have to sign - but this is on the day you have abandoned your old place and arrive with a moving truck wanting the keys ... Also - don't be fooled by the seemingly incredible discounts (if you sign a 13 or 24 month lease) - they are indeed too good to be true - and you will indeed regret being fooled. I assume they can only get away with these practices due to the economy, perhaps with so many people trying to rent instead of own - but this is only grasping for a reason that the company and management behave so badly Be aware of any company that seems to have as many lawyers than maintenance staff (they lawyers respond faster than maintenance!) Run - don't walk - away ... there are lots of other places (just read the fine print to make sure they are not managed by Lincoln Properties/LPC or one of their affiliates).
