| - I've lived in Alpha Mill for over a year now. There are a great many reasons we love it here and a few things we'd love to see change or improve.
First, if you're one of those "young professionals" who want to have loud parties by the pool every week-end, please look elsewhere for your domicile. You are not welcome here. Our neighbors work hard and should be able to enjoy the amenities they pay for without 35 of your frat brothers playing corn-hole until three AM. Thankfully, the management company has figured out who these jerks are and has begun to fine them and evict them.
Second, we would really love to have a few shops close by or at least on site dry cleaning, coffee shop and maybe a newsstand (I can't subscribe to the paper because the delivery people can't get through the security gates). Those are the conveniences we miss from a true urban neighborhood. Fortunately, 7th St. Market is beginning to pick-up and is just a short walk away, so we can deal with a four block walk.
Third, parking is tight. We often see people parked in handicapped spaces without the proper decals. This drives my husband insane since he spent 15+ years working with the disabled and knows what a nightmare it is for them to have to try and navigate most parking areas firsthand. Again, management is dealing with this, by tightly regulating guest parking.
Those are the negatives and they're out of the way. Now for the positives which are many!
Excellent location if you work in Uptown or want to drive just about anywhere in the city since we're just off of 277.
Gorgeous loft apartments in the historic mill. We have 22' ceilings, exposed brick, tons of space and light... love it!
Very pet friendly with two dog parks and plenty of clean-up stations.
Excellent amenities with a huge pool, outdoor grills and fireplace, two roof decks, exercise room and clubhouse.
Extremely responsive, friendly and polite management and maintenance staff. This team is really concerned with making this a great community and even just hosted a fundraiser for a bunch of local non-profit organizations for the community holiday bash.
Great neighbors! We've made some really good friends here and enjoy hanging out with people just down the hall or across the complex. Most are hard working and enjoy the privacy and convenience Alpha Mill offers.
In addition to the easy walk to Uptown, Alpha Mill will soon be really easily accessible to public transportation as the new Lync line is going in just a block away. There's lots of new development in the neighborhood and the complex is expanding - adding almost 100 more luxury units on 12th and N. Brevard (with lots of additional parking I'm told!).
So, Alpha Mill yea or nea? Strong Yea here! We've often said we wished they were a coop or condo so we could buy, but for now, we're staying put.
