I've lived here for about a year. Although the neighborhood is bad..it's off of beach blvd which is very dangerous..and yes there are a lot of crappy hotels..BUT..it's close to both mine and my husbands job so it's convenient. you would never notice once you turned down stonybrook. our little cultasac is nice. I rarely hear crazy noise from the neighbors AND there are a lot of rules here which keep the area nice and clean and quiet. Probably one of the best things about this place is there aren't a bunch of kids running loose everywhere..that was our problem at our last few places..and we have 3 kids of our own so we appreciate the fact that everyone is quite respectful here. Plus this place isn't a roachfest like a lot of other apartment homes too..My only complaint here would be the fact that there really isn't much closet space. Yes, the rent is pretty high, but it's worth it to me to have peace and quiet from the crazy beach blvd..
