I lived here for 3 years and it's the "best value" I've seen in town. I loved living here and the current manager/maintainance guy are great. If you're looking for something that's high class, new, or something overly manicured, this isn't your place. But it's paradise compared to a place like the Rorick and it's only a quick few block walk to downtown. It has blemishes, but who lives in the hallways and lobby' The apartment units are rather nice, spacious, clean, and have decent appliances. In three years living there, I think I only saw 3 bugs. Free street parking at night is great for those with 8 to 5 jobs that aren't located downtown, otherwise you pay like everyone else. Parking can be a problem on weekends if the orpheum and theatre have something going on, but I would plan around it. Weekends can get a little messy by teanants and/or their visitors, but I think that's to be expected when the building is by bars and downtown, has a lot of mid-20 to 30 year old something tenants, and singles. It's a diverse mix of people, too. There are 60 units in the building, so it's going to have a few occasional bad apples in the mix. Management kicks any troublemakers out when they find out who's doing what. It's a good place for rookie professionals, younger students, people who hangout downtown. It's probably not going to be ideal for West O. types, high maintenance women, weak and/or dainty people, people that want everything quiet 24-7, people scared of diversity, and/or families. Union Plaza has great spacious VALUE downtown deals.
