I love my apartment, it is beautiful and the layout is perfect. Noise does carry a bit, but I'm lucky that most of my neighbors seem to be fairly quiet. I am next to one of the apartments that is rented out to the Out of State Security Company, but have not had any problems with noise/parties from them.
The dog park is fine. Not spectacular, but it's a dog park! Of course it may stink a little, though people could do a better job of picking up after their pets. Not as outrageous as some people are making it out to be. I go with my dogs regularly and rarely see messes.
My BIGGEST complaint is the level of service I have received from the Leasing Office. Considering I pay over $1100 for a one bedroom, the lack of follow-up is outrageous. I shouldn't have to call 3-4 times in a week to get someone to call me back. The people that worked at the leasing office when I first moved in were friendly and helpful, but now they can't even be bothered to acknowledge me when I come in the office. Not impressed at all.
