My company had to put me up in an apartment, and somehow I managed to get them to pay for this place. Otherwise I could never live here. But it's just a gorgeous place to live. My only three complaints so far are: 1) the weather was back and forth this spring, so they switched from heat to air and then back to heat again, and stayed neutral for a few days until finally it got warm enough to turn on the air. With only one side having windows, there's no cross ventilation, so it got rather warm for a few days. 2) Someone stole $30 in quarters from my counter. This was very disturbing, and the office staff didn't seem to believe me or care, but the property manager was very concerned and helpful. The apartment keys can only be accessed with employee fingerprint id, and it turned out someone had "accidentally" taken my key instead of one to another apartment. I feel bad that the employee was fired since there's no proof that he was guilty, but the manager felt that was the right course of action, and I respect that. 3) There's no option to rent a parking space on a monthly fee, you have to pay in advance for sets of discount parking passes of different time limits.

As far as features, there's a pool, a gym, 1/2 basketball court, endless pool, hot tub, and outdoor running track, and there's onsite dry cleaning and Jewel. So if you've got lots of $$ to spare and don't have a car, this is a great place to live.

Quick correction - monthly parking is available from CPS parking which runs 7 floors of parking spaces in the building - its avail for a little over $200 per month
