3001 Park Center is not just an apartment community - it is a community you can call home. Starting from the senior management to the maintenance team, the service at 3001 is first-rate. I have never lived anywhere your maintenance requests are filled within 24 hours and most of the time it is in a few hours.
3001 balances the sense of community with privacy and quiet. Riding up with your neighbors in the elevator, seeing them out walking their pets, catching up at Saturday breakfast, and taking time to sit outside and visit offer you the opportunity to be part of the community. While the same time, once you retreat into your apartment, you experience quiet. Care was taken in the building construction and I have never once heard my neighbors to either side of me or above me.
To take a walk around 3001 is to experience luxury, as if you were at a resort. The apartments back up to a pond with wildlife, areas to walk and a sense of being away from the city, but close enough to get there in 15 minutes or less. The landscaping is stunning and gives you the opportunity to really "smell the roses". And, if you want to just take a book down and read or work outside, the back patio is available to you for fresh air and a chance to see your neighbors.
The community is pet friendly and you can have cats and dogs 35 pounds or less. As a pet lover, this is wonderful.
The senior management cares about the residents and you aren't just someone living in their community. You have a name, they want to know if you have any questions or concerns, and they go the extra mile. On several occasions, they have been there to let delivery services in for me, helped me assemble a piece of furniture, helped me with luggage after a trip, and each day ask how I am.
The community is about health and fitness. I am able to exercise in a state-of-the art gym and grill vegetables to ensure my health needs are met. I find the ability to get up and go downstairs and workout to be awesome.
3001 features a concierge service and as a resident I am informed when I have a package, asked if I need assistance with anything (from dinner reservations, to calling a taxi), and generally feel like there is service to meet my needs. Recently I was taking my two cats to the vet and the concierge helped me get them in my car. What a nice touch. And, called to see how their vet appointment went.
The apartments are spacious and the bay windows are like you would find in a private home. You control the air conditioning and heat year round which is a wonderful feature. Having my own washer and dryer in unit is awesome. All my appliances are top-rate and the community has installed "green" features including light bulbs and recycling.
For me, I feel lucky to have the opportunity to live at 3001 and would highly recommend that you move in tomorrow.

I guess you are friend's with the concierge...because during the winter when the renovation was going on and the lobby closed there was never a single time I arrived from the supermarket with groceries and my daughter stroller that any concierge got up to open the door. They actually turned off the automatic door to avoid the cold and they were always siting and speaking in the phone. I had to manage to open the door and bring the stroller of my baby girl and the groceries in, holding the door with my legs...
Secondly, they open the pool this weekend and there was a lady who asked to the lifeguard if she could stay under the shade of her umbrella because she had skin cancer (one of the only 2 umbrellas in the pool area) and she responded no that it was hers. Other people had also problems with the unfriendly lifeguard... But frustratingly enough one of the lease consultants who think she owns the building came to this resident and said that she was causing problems and if the residents couldn’t behave they would have to close the pool. I overheard that and could not believe the lack of respect with a resident just because she was looking for a shade. This lease consultant should at least bring another umbrella or get someone in the building to bring more umbrellas to the pool area since there were so many kids and few elderly. Not waste her time to come down and ignore the resident request or complaint the way she did. Maybe she should take some customer service classes to stay in this position.
Lastly, renovation is always nice like you described but I don’t think this project was very thoughtful to preserve the environment since they didn’t care to conserve the floor that it was quite good and to save the building energy --- just take a look in the light fixture by the elevator --- have you counted how many lamps they added there? Almost 50 LAMPS! Who will end up paying for the building energy? Have a guess! The trend is to go green due to effects on Earth planet and the scarcity of natural resources, but the project team did exactly the opposite and the Donaldson groups approved..
The cost of electricity is going up (both in dollars and in environmental and health impacts) and it doesn’t show any signs of doing otherwise. About half of the energy in the American grid is coal generated. By using less energy, and greening the electricity that we do use, we can lighten our footprint immensely.
Just for general knowledge that should have been considered before doing the renovation:
The more we throw away, the more space we take up in landfills. When a landfill becomes a “landfull”, taxpayers have to build a new one. The less we throw away, the longer our landfills will last. The amount of taxpayer money we save by extending the longevity of our landfills is an important community benefit.

looks like an advertisement from the Donaldson group if I ever saw one.
