Of all of the places I have lived in many different states, this is probably the nicest apartment I have ever lived in. The units are huge, and the appliances are very new, from what I am told. They look very new and work like a dream. Locals I have run into think the rent is astronomical, however, having lived on the east coast I can tell you that they are a great value. I have so much room I am having trouble furnishing the place. That is not a bad problem to have. However, there is no storage, so it is difficult to store things that you don't often use.
Pros:
-The size of the units
-New appliances
-Garages for most units (very nice ones)
-Plenty of parking
-Nice workout facility
-Nice pool
-Double balconies are nice (having trouble finding a use for the second one, again, not a bad problem to have)
-Location is fine.
-View is awesome is you face east and live on the third floor.
Cons:
-Very close to train track, incoming trains shake entire complex mercilessly.
-Poorly insulated. Units on the 3rd floor get very cold due to vaulted ceilings and single pane windows. However, utilites are never very high. Floors and ceilings are also not well insulated, as low frequency noises (bass from stereos) tend to shake walls and floors of conjoining apartments. I hear my downstairs neighbors tv and stereo all the time, and from what they tell me, they hear me walking around. I can also hear their alarm clock in the morning. Word of advice - talk to your neighbors and set a noise curfew. No loud music after 9 or something like that.
- Very poor job of getting rid of snow in parking lots. Currently lots of ice. Only a matter of time before someone falls and hurts themselves.
- Hordes of blood-thirsty bees in the summer. It is almost epidemic. Well, utah is the beehive state, and sterling village does what they can to control it. Word of advice: Don't eat on your patio in the summer.
- I lived on the third floor, and I have 50 stairs to walk up and down whenever I come home or leave. I am young, so I don't really care, but my dog has been complaining lately. If you are older or have bad joints, the concrete stairs are not forgiving if you fall (and they do get icy!)and walking up and down them will take a toll on your knees. Request a lower unit if possible. Moving in will be a lot easier! Plus, the view is only cool for a while. You get used to it, and then you wish you lived downstairs.
