i have lived here almost 2 years and i love it! maintenance is great about getting stuff taken care of asap. there's a washer and dryer inside my apartment which you can't find anywhere else in akron. they stopped giving away free memberships to the ymca with a lease, but it is worth it to pay to join because it's pretty big with tons of machines and classes. the pool has been under renovation for the last year but you can use city center's pool 1 block away. my apartment is on one of the lower floors so it has high ceilings and huge windows, which gives it tons of space and light. only complaints i have are that the windows leak in cold air (they recommend insulation). but everything is electric so my bill in the winter has been close to $200 consistently. for some reason i get free cable though, which is nice. but not everyone in the building gets it, only certain apartments. also security is decent but they don't really stop people from coming into the building uninvited. also they do tons of maintenance checks all the time, so someone's coming by almost every 1-2 weeks to check something. parking is pricey, and i have heard that other people's cars have gotten broken into occaisionally. and someone's car got stolen last month out of the parking garage. and the same person who stole the car somehow got a master key to all the apartments and ran through and stole stuff out of people's apartments (one of my friends had her debit card and $50 stolen). all of our locks are getting changed this week. now that i think about it, maybe this place is a little over-rated and actually not that great. it's definitely above the rest of other locations in akron, but i guess that's not saying much.
