Adalay Bay is definitely a little pricey compared to what I am used to in South Carolina, but real estate is much much cheaper down there. When I came up here to find an apartment, I looked at tons of places, and though Adalay Bay was a little more expensive, I felt I was getting my extra money's worth. EVERYTHING about this complex is 10 times nicer than all of the other ones I looked at.

I overlook the pool and can't wait for it to get warm enough to use. The grounds are incredibly well landscaped and a landscaping crew comes once a week to mow the lawns and take care of everything. I have yet to need any maintenance, but once every month or so, they come by to switch out our air filter for us and are very nice.

I love the ladies that work in the office and they have been very helpful. They went the extra mile for my husband and I to make sure we would be able to move in before my husband had to report to work after we moved up here because the apartment originally wasn't supposed to be ready for a few more days. When someone said in another review that they all know you by name, they weren't lying. :)

The gym here is very nice as well and is in the part of the club house that is available 24/7 for all residents by way of a key card. In another review, someone said their key card never worked, but my husband have never had trouble with ours. The gym has two treadmills, an eliptical, and a bike, as well as 5 or 6 different weight machines, each of which you can do two or three difference exercises on. They also have two TVs in there. I try to workout there as often as possible.

I love the look of my kitchen and that fact that the apartment has crown molding and chair rail. It definitely adds a nice touch. If you're on the first floor, you'll have 9ft ceilings, and if you're on the 3rd floor, you'll have vaulted ceilings. Unfortunately when we wanted to move in, they only had the floorplan we wanted available on the 2nd floor, so we have regular 8ft ceilings, but I don't mind at all.

I could go on and on about the good things, but on to the bad.

I'm not sure if my first complaint has to do with my neighbors or the construction of the building, but nearly every day we hear our neighbors' music and movies as well as the vacuum of the people above us. Personally I feel that the neighbor below us just has no idea how loud he listens to his movies, and the same goes for another neighbor who listens to very loud music a lot. I've called the front office about it before, and they contacted our neighbor and let them know that another neighbor was complaining. After that it stopped for a few months.

Like others have said, the parking can often be an issue. I've heard it's worse at other buildings, but often when I come home later at night, I can't park right in front of my building. I have to park in the visitor parkin area, but really the walk isn't bad. It's pretty much across the street and off to the side of the building. No big deal.

I thought there was one more bad point, but now I can't remember it, so I guess it wasn't that important. I've lived in several different apartment complexes over the years, and this one is by far the nicest and my favorite for many reasons. Sure there are some bad points, but the good ones far outweigh them. I've already recommended Adalay Bay to several friends planning to move to the area.
