3333 Allen Parkway

I like it. Tough not to. From: TXaintbad1800 Date posted: 3/25/2006 Years at this apartment: 2005 - 2006   I've been a resident for almost a year, and have honestly enjoyed my time here. For the price, that's what you'd expect at the least. I know the building's owners have been disappointed with the number of units sold to date, and I wouldn't call the sales department entirely trustworthy. Some-to-most-to-all of the units need work, and there is merit to the unit quality issues described in other reviews. However, if you believe in the management team (most here do), you can handle highrise living, and you got some money to spend upgrading your place -- for condo people... then it's tough to argue against the upside. To start, it's a great view of the city. Allen Prkwy is a fun and convenient street to live on. Lots of activity. The pool area is well above average, and the hot tub is almost hot. I've read complaints about the lobby staff, and I'm not sure where those come from. Most of them know me by name (as I know theirs) and seem to take pride in what they do. I get calls when a package arrives. I think that's pretty cool. I'm not a big fan of valet, but having your car waiting out front every morning is a nice luxury. The parties are high class, if not interesting. Pickup dry cleaning is surprisingly more convenient than it is just plain lazy. Celebrities and celebrity posers frequent the lobby and weight room. Some noisy dogs. Few children. Some snobby older folk, but at least they're polite and demanding of the building's services. Escalade's a perk if you have a night life. And it's stupid, but people recognizing your address is kind of nice and can be useful. I pay a good twice as much here as I did renting in the mediocre (to above average) places, and for me it's been worth it. For others it won't be. I thought I needed to contribute this not so much to defend this place --if you're reading this, then you're probably spending your cash on more important things -- but because I've enjoyed the posts on this website. I'm sure FOX will eventually make a show about disgruntled tennents. I'm glad I'm no longer one of them. Good luck to you all.
