Resident 2010 - 2011

10/4/2011

If you like urban living - this is for you!

I am amazed to see the negative reviews of this property. My apartment is beautiful. It is the perfect combination of downtown loft and downtown apartment. I have lived at the property for just over a year. The view from my apartment is spectacular. Most of my friends think I pay a lot more for rent than I do. The management office and staff is very friendly and maintenance requests have been addressed within one day - most of the time they are addressed the same day that I call. Admittedly, I have only had about 3 requests since I have lived here becuase it is a brand new building. The management office is open 6 days per week and they answer emails quickly. I know that a few residents have been evicted and their troubles started last year with some parking issues. Everyone was upset with the parking, but the management sent many emails communicating the situation and they have worked to address the issues within their ability given the City of St. Louis has to be the enforcers of the parking. The management staff has put signs on many parking meters to keep unauthorized visitors from parking in the resident parking spots. The management has communicated several times that the City has to tow illegal parkers. So, they are doing what they can and parking has improved. That said, this is an urban environment and there are crime issues. But this area is not the only area with crime/car break in issues. I have friends in Webster Groves and their area has been hit many times too. I don't leave anything in my car so there is nothing to steal. The downtown neighborhood watch program is growinig and the meetings have been informative. The parking situation is not the best - but our rents are lower than most of the Washington Avenue apartments - so there are trade offs. I love walking out my door to all the events- like Rib Fest, Taste of St. Louis, the Go!Marathon, and hockey games. I moved downtown to be a part of downtown activity and lifestyle. That means you have to like an urban environment. If you want to pay several hundred dollars more per month, you can live in a building with garage and guaranteed parking. But, for the money, this is a fantastic apartment, with a very nice management staff, and an OK parking situation.
