| - I will make this review as brief as I can, and give you the 'quick-and-dirty' version. We had been tenants of Falling Water before, back in 2014. Nice place, quiet, we used the pool and the jacuzzi at least once. But we were only here a scant few months. My partner got a full-time position at a company in San Francisco, and rather than commute every week, they wanted to move him there permanently, and so after our brief time here at the complex, that's what we did.
I guess you former and current dwellers of the City By The Bay know what I'm going to say next...Breathtakingly beautiful place, brutally expensive cost-of-living; the kind of place where you have to have the kind of money Donald Trump THINKS he's worth, to survive.
So, back to Las Vegas and Falling Water we came. That was back in summer of 2015.
We are now coming up on our first full year here at the complex. And what has it been like so far? Currently, we are living in what now makes our THIRD unit here. Problems with the previous apartment? Neither the dishwasher or the refrigerator were completely hooked up when we moved in. Water system temps that only operated between two modes: Third-Degree-Burn-Trip-To-The-ER, and Arctic Freeze. And the worst part? Upstairs neighbors, a family of four that included two elementary school-aged kids, who had absolutely no consideration for who was living beneath them. Noise pollution is a more polite way of referring to what we endured, especially on the weekends.
So for that second reason, we kept up the complaints and the pressure on Management, until they finally presented us with an alternative...a new unit, at a reduced rate, with new flooring, new appliances, and allegedly, quieter neighbors on the second floor - they didn't GUARANTEE us of that second and MOST important point, nor could they tell us anything about them (by law, they said), but they reassured us time and again that they were "NOT AWARE" of any noise problems from the second floor.
So we moved in, preferring that to the alternative. And what's in been like so far? Well, the unit pretty much came as advertised. New appliances, cool new faux-wood flooring (vinyl, I'm guessing). But ONCE AGAIN, the refrigerator wasn't hooked up when we moved in (meaning the ice maker). And our washing machine sounded like it was going to EXPLODE any second, the first time we used it. Not to mention that the toilet flushing assembly in the guest bathroom was so rusted out, it broke, and the one in the main bathroom isn't doing much better.
But HERE is what costs them a third star. Our upstairs neighbor is for all appearances, a single mom with a teenage daughter.
Do I REALLY have to go into what that means in terms of noise levels? So basically, Management didn't LIE to us about it before we moved again, but technically, they did 'leave out some details.'
Aside from one pretty reliable person in the Rental Office, and some decent maintenance guys (I'm pretty sure they'll be here on Monday to fix the current troubles), the management of this place is a farce. Which is a damn shame, because were it not for that, Falling Water COULD be a place that more people would want to call home.
Personally, I could care less about the pool, the clubhouse or the jacuzzi. There is an amazing 24 Hour Fitness less than three blocks from here for most of those needs. But you would think it wouldn't be all that much to ask, if you could have a living space that really does afford you, as the FW brochures claim, "a peaceful enjoyment" experience.
So if noisy neighbors and iffy response to concerns are your thing, or you don't mind so long as the places are somewhat livable, by all means, have at it. Come and move here.
Our future plans after the lease is up probably won't include apartment living anymore. This is it for us. FINITO.
