Avalon on the Sound's marketing says "Time Well Spent". NOT! You will spend many sleepless nights from the train/construction noise or the college students playing pranks at 4am. They say this is Luxury Living, but whoever thinks that could not have lived in Luxury before! Every time it rains the apartment leaks! Recently there was a fire and our alarm did not sound! It's not worth it!

If you're thinking about moving into an Avalon apartment in New Rochelle, make sure you consider this information first. In terms of utilities, expect to pay around 275$ per month for water and electricity for a 1 bedroom apartment with two people in it. Utilities are billed through an outside agency called Minol that charges you a standard rate no matter how little or how much water/electricity you use. Given that most 1 bedrooms are around 1700 per month, this makes the overall cost for this building pretty pricey for what you get. Management will tell you that the apartments at the back of the building are sound proof- they aren't. If your view is of the train, you will hear the train and the announcements from the conductors all day...especially early in the morning when many trains are stopping in New Rochelle. The pool/gym facilities are convenient, but not well maintained. Air conditioning/heat is very noisy. Kitchen has very low quality surfaces..especially the counters. Every time we cook or get anything on the counter (other than water), the only cleaner that removes these stains is bleach. Bathroom does not have a vent. Over all, living in this building is very convenient. I haven't had any problems with the staff or noisy neighbors (though I do live on a higher floor which is more expensive) However, it is not really a luxury building. I would recommend this building to someone looking for temporary or corporate housing. But not someone looking for good deal on a homey apartment.
