I have enjoyed living here. Being downtown has been fantastic. We are only a few blocks from almost all of the downtown activities. I have even walked to a baseball game. In the category of noise, I put minimal not because of neighbors, but because it is the city and there are loud motorcycles and a train (no horn, just engine)but all things you can adapt to and will hardly notice after the first month and when your window is closed. The construction is thick - you won't hear neighbors stomping around. Overall, I love living here, you feel a part of the family and it is fun getting to know other residence. I met one guy who has lived here since the 80's and even more who have lived here for about 10 years or more. I don't understand some of the bad reviews, I recommended this place to 4 people and everyone is happy they moved in.
