Resident 2011 - 2012

2/16/2012

Let me start by saying, this is hands down the best place I have ever lived and I have lived in many different apartments. I'll start with the building: immaculate. It looks like a 5 star resort. Everything is always clean. They had an interior designer decorate the lobby and all of the little touches and it shows. It's a very well constructed building inside and out. I have never once heard a neighbor through the walls. Everything is perfect from the recycled granite counter tops to the hardware on the cabinetry. The underground HEATED parking garage is amazing. There are plenty of amenities including a washer/dryer in every unit and a hot tub on the roof. I definitely do not miss coin laundry. They have plenty of layouts to pick from, the only problem being the building is typically 100% rented and it's hard to get it. I did struggle a bit with getting in and it took 4-5 months, but now that I am in, I have no complaints! They have lots of fun events at the building, too. A few months ago they had an art exhibit in the building and I was able to buy some really neat jewelry and handmade soaps! How cool is that? The area is very industrial. It does have that city feel, but it's right next to a paper company, which yes, emits an odd smell so be forewarned. Honestly, it doesn't bother me much anymore. There is some really fun stuff close by like a vintage store and a delicious Caribbean restaurant. One thing - you will hear semi-trucks. I've gotten used to it. Also, dogs are allowed to live here and sometimes I do hear them barking, but mostly just in the halls, never in my apartment. If you really do not like dogs, try to get the pet free floor or look for another place to live. Another thing, utilities are not included in rent. Now to the ladies in the rental office: Janie and Colleen. I absolutely love them. They have been nothing but incredibly helpful and accommodating. I have never been treated so well at any apartment before. I have been a bit if a pain in the you know what, but they have always been so nice to me even when I'm sure they were annoyed. (they never showed it though!) I just can't express how much it means to me to live somewhere where the rental office staff treats you like a real person. I love living here. I love my apartment! I love having people over because I am genuinely proud to live here. The building is beautiful.
