| - There are quite a few wordy reviews here for the Grig, and I think that it's important for someone who went into this lease with no delusions to weigh in on this magnificent marvel of marketing and excess.
First, the stereotypes:
It is a really young complex: YES
People party at the pool on weeknights: YES
It is really expensive: YES
Everyone is a rich brat: NOT NECESSARILY
Neighbors are loud and inconsiderate: NO
The complex is really social: SOMETIMES
Everything is really nice: YES
Close enough to walk to the bars: ONLY IF YOU HAVE NO GIRLS
Boiled down, if you can afford the Grigio, and are mentally under the age of 30, the Grigio is amazing. The gym is huge, the lake path is right there, the rooftop deck is inspiring, the vast number of pool view apartments is staggering, and the garage parking is something I truly, truly miss now that I've moved out.
They just upgraded the cable to digital DVR boxes and super-fast internet, and the people in the office are great - if UPS delivers your package to the office, they will call you and offer to drop it in your apartment! Amazing.
Bottom line, if you have the money and don't mind hearing Lady Gaga occasionally at 11:00pm from the pool - move in today!
