I lived at the sycamore's about 5 years ago and I had no problems. I see somebody posted that their was garbage in the hall and urine smell.. omg. These are decent apts and management wouldn't put up with that. I was actually lookin on the web to see about going back to the apts. They were very nice. Central air, ice maker, fire place and clean. I don't know what these people are talking about. As for noise? I didn't have any of those problems. Yes, you will get some noise, that is part of living in a APARTMENT rather then a house. I lived in Murphy apts, they are nice inside but the noise is much worse. I could hear the guy in the next apartment push his buttons on his microwave, now I think that is pretty bad. But it was a little cheaper... you get what you pay for, I guess.
