Was happy for 2 years, no longer the case

Until recently I was very please with the Warwick House. My experience had always been fairly good. I was a strong advocate of this place and recommended it to many people. After a slow start last summer, the new management seemed to be making progress. I was so please that I moved into a bigger apartment and determined to make this my long term home. Perhaps that was my first mistake.

When I moved into the Warwick House over 2 years ago, I knew that the rent was high, but thought it well worth the price to be surrounded by other professionals. I was pleased to no longer be living in an environment where youth and inexperience can cause residents to have a different idea of what is acceptable behavior. That has changed. The Warwick House currently has corporate housing that is actually used for interns and not corporate professionals. With that comes collegiate behavior and a lack of respect for neighbors. No longer do I come to peace and quiet. Rather I come home and listen to banging and pounding at all hours of the day and night. Evenings and weekends can be marked by loud music and by neighbors who think this is "a cool place to throw a sorority party". It has gone from being professional housing to being, in part, student housing and I do not pay the rent I do to live in student housing.

If you want to pay a lot and take the chance of living next to interns/students who think this is a dorm, frat house or student housing then this is the place for you. If you are looking to live around other professionals who understand what it means to work hard to be able to afford to the rent here, then this is no longer the place you want to be and that is very unfortunate.
