The Elan is a wonderful new apartment complex. I chose it for the location; walkable to the beach, mall, grocery store and the artsy movie theater just down the street. I was impressed with grounds, amenities, and the apartment. Since moving in I have become friends with many in the building. Being a new building meant everyone is new! There are active groups in the building and that helped too. I work from home and the floor plans they offered allowed me to have an office space that allows me to enjoy both work and home (separately). I gave 4 stars on noise, there has been some construction in the area and the road noise are all that I experience. Closing the windows does away with that. The units themself are quiet and I never hear neighbors.
