First of all, let's balance out the perspective. Uptown is a pretty good neighborhood to hang out in. If you like to live where you hang out, then you're going to get a different pedigree than if you drive to your hangout spots. Having said that, this complex is appropriately positioned to never have to drive to a bar.

I moved into this building because it's walking distance from a lot of places, and it's a short motorcycle ride to other places. Frankly, it's a very Un-Dallas place.

The building has its shortcomings. For one, carpets could be freshened up. For another, the noise from the bars can be penetrating. Parking doesn't really work out. And some residents are just rich kids who feel entitled to everything.

Once you get that down, the building is pretty nice. My apartment is on the far side (away from the noise), with a downtown view. It's quiet and I sleep like a baby in it. Neighbors are nice, and no one has bothered me. Parking sucks, but I manage, and it hasn't made me mad at all.

Staff is very nice, and so I think all those people who had a hard time with the staff are perhaps in dire need of negotiating lessons - because I've only had extra good service from everyone who works there.

Last but not least, I've never had any mishaps here, but as is always the case, any mishap is tinted by negative stigma, which is natural. So we shall see how things change if that were to occur - but to buffer myself from that, I have my renters insurance.

I'd give this building a 4 out of 5.
