So I searched downtown for options ranging from buying a penthouse loft to renting to moving to some place 45 minutes away to find an reasonable option for a great apartment/condo/townhouse. Just when I was about to give up and give in to the trendy overpriced options, I stopped in at 1600 Glenarm Place. I have to be honest that some of the reviews leave me scratching my head as to the comments regarding the concierges, security, etc...Is this a $400 apartment' No, but then again, the $400 apartment also doesn't have a 24-hour concierge that can actually remember your name and open the door for you, a valet staff that makes you feel like they will actually take care of your car when you walk away, a management staff that calls you back and helps you when you need them, and a superb maintenance team. For instance, I was speaking with one of the management team members and mentioned I was here on business and needed to go buy a hammer to hang pictures. Without hesitation, she coordinated a time with maintenance for them to hang all of my pictures and when he showed up there were no questions other than where would you like them' He took care of everything and had a smile on his face the whole time. All of the staff I have interfaced with have a GREAT attitude and have made me feel welcome. As for the noise, this is an apartment building not a private residence with acreage, so while I have experienced a couple times where music was turned up a little louder than I'd personally like, I have never had problems with being able to hear things through walls or to the outside. I am actually in an apartment on one of the lowest floors and thought street noise would be a problem, but the minute I shut the door - it goes away and hasn't bothered me at all. The location is ideal to everything downtown and since I fly frequently, I have also had easy access to the airport. Everyone has an opinion, but mine is very strong that 1600 Glenarm Place is an excellent choice for those that appreciate some nice amenities, for not much more than those that have smaller places for a lot more money.
