| - I rented a 2-bedroom condo here for two years, and, except for my particular unit being right on the freeway, the experience was wonderful. Many of the units were remodeled all at once, and the remodeling (kitchens, bathrooms, floors, recessed lighting) is really very well-done. Bathroom fixtures were all upscale. Assigned garage parking is nice, the office staff is experienced and nice, and amenities (gym, computers, modern grills) are clean and useful; all three pools are usually pretty empty and peaceful. There is always some vacant inventory, but you have to talk to the folks in the office to get a good name of a realtor (Stephanie) who is actually working with owners instead of relying on the (worthless) website to find and view available units. In two years, I very rarely heard any of my neighbors. Just make note that, whether you get the 1, 2 or 3 bedroom version, the living spaces (LR/DR; also patio) in these units are awkward and tiny. While the bedrooms and bathrooms are definitely spacious enough, you cannot fit much furniture in any of the common spaces. That will become apparent if you go and see one of the units. While this is true, the location is outstanding (the Biltmore Hotel and mall are a short walk/bike ride away through a very private and pleasant neighborhood), I never once saw a bug in my unit or even outside (huge to me), and the property is consistently clean/well maintained. Finally, the rent prices here (set by each owner) are extremely low compared to literally all of the other nearby places (thumbs up), washers/driers are in each unit, and trash and recycling are each convenient.
