A luxury it is not!

The only thing luxurious about The Opal is the price! (Granted it is new.) Management is forgetful, incompetent, and has the attitude you should be grateful to live there. Maintenance is slow and lazy. The building materials and appliances are the typical, sub-standard stuff used during the later part of the recent building boom. The drywall/sheetrock can not hold wall hangings - I even used the heavy duty stuff from Home Depot. And good luck trying to find a stud to nail into! As soon as the newness fades, it is just another regular apt bldg, but with an attitude, exorbinant price, and crappy old appliances! Elevators are frequently out of service. Most tenants are nice. But people do not clean up after their dogs. Kids run around screaming in the lobby during the day. Sometimes with parents/nannies sitting there ignoring them. Teens hang out loudly in the lobby at night. And the neighborhood and other apt complexes on the next block are something to beware of. Don't walk late at night or early in the morning!
