Paramount Apartments: Great place to live (Recommending!)

2006-07-03T15:12:28-06:00

From New2SF: Great location. Lots of amenities. Noise is less of a problem now that street construction has stopped at Mission & Third. It's pricey, but ask about apartments on lower floors since the rent rises along with the view. ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-05-14T02:59:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building and units are nice but it is the loudest building I have lived in. Construction, Fire Engines and events next to the Argent Hotel make this building not worth staying in. ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-11-20T00:11:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into the Paramount about a month ago and love my apartment. The view is amazing.

Paramount Apartments: The noise is UNBEARABLE! (Not Recommending)

2005-11-11T11:14:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Some of the views on the higher floors may be nice, but that's all overshadowed by the relentless noise that surrounds you. If it's not ear-splitting sirens at all hours (the firehouse is right next to the W Hotel, and the firetrucks come screaming right down 3rd St.), then you ... [click to read full apartment review]

Paramount Apartments: The ROI is poor (Not Recommending)

2005-04-25T22:15:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We did not rent at this place because of the price of the apartment, $3000 for 1 bed/1 bath, the price of parking, $300 and the regis building that blocks most of the view of all the apartments on the South face. (Which is what we were offered) Not worth ... [click to read full apartment review]

Paramount Apartments: Question the luxury (Recommending!)

2004-10-19T13:55:07-06:00

From sanaug1: We knew we would be paying for a convenience and not necessarily luxury. I work just a couple of blocks away so that is the upside for me.

From -Anonymous-: The Paramount is not as bad as some of the negative reviews suggest.

Parking.
If you call your car around ahead of time it will take about 10-15 minutes usually, which isn't bad at all. If you do not call down, however, plan on waiting 15 minutes if it is not ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-01-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Lived there for one year. Only two great things, location and view. Apartments are tiny, with no storage space. Construction is acceptable, but not luxurious.
