I wanted to wait until my first full week was done so I could write a really helpful review. So, I have lived at the Venue for 7 full days and I am really enjoying it. People have mentioned the fact you can hear people outside your apartment , but I expected this since it IS An apartment & people are close together. The staff is really friendly. Vita was great and was willing to help for anything and made this whole moving process way easier. Maintenance responds pretty fast to work orders. Twice he came on the same day a work order was submitted! I love the 24 hour gym and the grounds are well taken care of. Some cons are the fact that parking lots are dimly lit and I have to have Cox for internet and Cable (charges you wayyyy to much for either). I do live above a garage (first floor only) & that can be annoying, but luckily the person who owns that garage doesn't come and go often, so not too bad. So far I'm really liking it. It's 5 minutes away from the I-515 & 10 minutes away from major shops like Walmart, Target, Michaels, and a lot of food options.
