I live on the third floor by choice (no chance for noise from above). I rarely have issues with parking and I don't have a covered spot or garage space. The apartment itself is what you make of it. I find the layout to be acceptable (2br 2bath) and the size adequate. The kitchen is a bit small, but then again cooking a meal for 10 is unlikely anyways. I wish there were more electrical outlets.
When we got the apartment it smelled and looked great. As for the noise, I've gotten notices mornings after nights I thought were relatively calm so I can't imagine there being any real trouble. I've never had an issue with the noise from my neigbors and if I did it seems that the office is quick to respond to complaints. Trash is a pain in the arse but only because I'm on the third floor (I chose noise over this convenience). Otherwise they pick up twice a week if you leave it under the stairs.
There are many little bonus things you get since you are outside the city for about the same price as being there. For one the pool is gigantic, but on a Saturday it's hard to find a place to lay out. Also, watching 25-35 year olds getting drunk at 2pm on a week day is pretty depressing (seems to be common). The weight room is alright, with a minimal amount of free weights, and some OK machines (arms chest legs & cardio). I've never been in the cafi in an entire year of living here. The office offers a few rental movies (free & mostly cheesy).
One last thing.. the gates around this place seem to always be broken. If for some reason you think you need a gate around your parking lot (pretty absurd anyways) it's mostly useless. Since it's broken so much they leave them open a lot.
I recommend this place for people working around the area and students at UT (like me). As a student I find the commute to be pretty damn annoying sometimes as the traffic is unpredictable unless you leave at 6:00am.
