I lived at Palladium for a little over a year and it was a great experience. The location can't be beat and the apartments are spacious. The staff was very attentive and my maintenance requests were always taken care of within a timely manner. It is a beautiful complex for those who like to work hard and party on the weekends. It is extremely quiet during the week and on the weekends you have the occasional party noise which is to be expected when you live in Old Town. If you like to go out it is totally worth it, you can walk to the bars or take a cheap cab ride or golf cart which totally makes the cost difference between Palladium and living outside of old town worth it! As for the complaints of garbage smell from the dumpster I've seen I would say, it's trash people it smells and it has to go somewhere. If the smell is going to bug you just make sure you rent away from the dumpster. I personally lived pretty close to it and the only time it bothered me was when I was walking past it but I never smelled it on my patio or in my place. Long story short I would totally recommend it as a place to live, I only moved away because I no longer go out as much as I once did.
