Resident 2009 - 2012

has declined greatly - not worth your money

let me start with the pro's- the gym is wonderful, new equipment, always clean. the door staff are the best part about the building as they are always friendly and willing to help. the package room and in-building dry cleaning are great. the area is very nice and safe. it has definitely become more busy and a bit chaotic since the radison opened in the building. the maintenance are very quick to come fix anything (which rarely happens) and they are very efficient. I have lived at aqua for 3 years now, and slowly slowly its gotten worse as its over crowded. the building is divided up into three parts- floors 1-20 (radisoon blu hotel), 20- 50: apartments, and 50- 80: condos. This mix of people has become too much, especially since the hotel opened this year. The management definitly cant handle it, mostly ------, the head of management always seems overworked like she cant cope with the amount of residents. Summer time is a night mare trying to get deck chairs on the very nice pool deck. This was an issue when it was just the apartments and condos, but now with the hotel, you have to go down at 7am and put your towel to reserve a deck bed. To make matters worse, the hotel manages and has priority over all amenities NOT the aqua residents. Rent-- I have had a one bedroom apartment: the first year 2009 my rent was - $1750 2010- $2,000 2011- $2,300 this year (2012-2013) my rent was going to be raised to $2,500. I am not renewing, but interestingly enough the building is always full, apartments are constantly re-rented and people seem to be dumb enough to pay these exorbitant prices. -the one bedroom is fairly small and even though my counter is granite and my fridge is stainless steel, the ceilings are very low and have the cheap not finished look to them (not sure how to explain it, looks like many little bumps), the bathrooms don't have vents or fans, and there isn't a garbage disposal in the kitchen. These are things i have come to find that should be in such a 'luxury' advertised apartment for the price iv been paying. everyone's rent has been raised to the point where we are fed up. the loyal residents of aqua who have renewed their lease year after year and hung out with their neighbors, and had a sense of community have all left slowly. now its like a revolving door or new (anyone who has money) residents.
