| - So, my good friend was looking to move uptown. After pricing several spots, he discovered it actually was cheaper per month to buy than rent. True story.
I have several friends who live or use to live in The Avenue. All of them love(d) living here. If I could afford it, I would move in here. But for now, I'll gladly share a three bedroom townhome just outside of uptown with my roomie.
The location is killer. You are walking distance to everything uptown. If you work uptown, this is perfect for you. The concierge at the front desk is super friendly and helpful. Gym, clubhouse and outdoor are all amazing. The pool is kind of small. You are allowed two guests per resident. However, the bbq and outdoor seating area is just tremendous. Great place to have a get together.
The elevators are kind of slow. Sometimes it feels like you are waiting forever. Parking can be an issue for guests. The Fifth Third parking garage is convenient, but you do have to pay. There is street parking in front of the building that is free after 6pm if you can snag a spot.
There are some great restaurants and bars on this block... Cowbell, Dandelion, Basil and 5Church just across the street. There's a cemetery across the street where several people jog and walk their dogs. Sounds kind of creepy, but it's a nice area with sidewalks and benches.
Avenue, maybe one day I will call you home. But for now, I will settle for the title of frequent guest.
