This review is long & over due. I will be doing a very lengthy review to help you with your apartment search.
OVERALL: I would absolutely recommend this apartment to a friend. In fact, I have and even though the process was a little bumpy at first Nicole, really helped work out things to make my friend and her husband very happy.
NOISE: The walls here are paper thin. My husband and I really struggled with the noise the first year we lived here. We did have some problems with rowdy upstairs neighbors but they were ultimately evicted and the couple that lives above us now is great. This noise issue is not an issue with just this particular apartment complex. This is an issue with every apartment complex and it is to be expected when living in an apartments. My husband and I made the greatest investment of our lives in a sound machine from Amazon and it completely changed our sleep. I would 100% recommend purchasing one if you are moving into any apartment style living. http://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Dohm-DS-Speed-Sound-Conditioner/dp/B000KUHFGM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401746274&sr=8-1&keywords=marpac+sound+machine
GROUNDS: Always nicely maintained however residents here are awful about picking up after their dogs. This is an issue with residents and management has tried their best to provide solutions. But some people are just flat out lazy. Really nice grass areas with doggie pick up bags and trash cans all over the complex. The gym is great, small but great. They have kettlebells and TRX! The pool deck is great with the plushy chairs.
SAFETY: ***I have never felt like my safety was being threatened*** With that being said I have head of break-ins from community reviews, and they just came through and replace a part of the locking mechanism on my door. My apartment is in a very high trafficked area but I would probably suggest purchasing an alarm system to deter potential wrong doers if your apartment is in a less trafficked area.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Probably they main reason why I choose this apartment is its LOCATION. Right off of eastern and backs to no major roads (ie.no road noise). Henderson is literally right across the street and I had looked at apartments within henderson and they all shot up in price. This was bigger and cheaper then a lot of the other complexes I looked at. GRANTED, the cabinets and kitchen spaces are terribly outdated. Why they cannot throw on a layer of paint on the ugly bathroom cabinets is beyond me. The kitchen cabinets are small and if you can get an apartment with a built in microwave you will be better off with space.
MAINTENANCE: WOW! they always come same day, do the repair fast, and you can schedule an appointment with them! One of the reasons why I felt 100% confident in recommending Positano is their ability to take care of the apartment in a timely manner.
STAFF: Nicole is fantastic. I have been here through 2 management changes and I can honestly say that Nicole, is a community builder. They are consistently doing resident appreciation days and community parties. This is another reason why I am 100% confident recommending Positano. You want a safe home, that will be up kept in a timely manner, with someone who is happy and available to help you. Positano is great and you would be silly not to check this place out.
