I have moved in for more than 2 months now. Here is some thoughts, if you are thinking about moving in.
1. Parking spots are busy. Garage costs $50/mo and if you decide to take it, you can't cancel it until the lease ends; YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FREE COVERED PARKING SPOT at the same time. You get one covered parking spot, you will be put on waiting list for that. At first, we were told 1-2 weeks of wait. After we signed the contact, the wait became 2-4 weeks. As today, we were still on the 4th on the list. There are some free parking, first come first serve, very busy. Parking on the street happens a lot. 6 staff/visitor parking spots you can use after office hours.
2. The management is not so good. The office hour is 9-5, M-F, there were more than 3 times (in these 2 months), When I went there, they left early. I don't really feel I'm welcomed, to be honest. In the past renting experience, I talked to management less than 10 times in a year and never had problem with them. But because of the parking issue, I checked with them very frequently. I felt very frustrated. Two ladies work there gave me different information (one told me I was on the 2nd on the parking waiting list 2 weeks ago and other other told me I was the 4th today).
3. The gym. Dirty. No wipes provided so I had to bring me own. There are only 5 equipments and some of them are broken.
4. Hot tub is indoor, which is nice if they clean it. Many times, I saw dead ants in the water for days. If the water is clean, you just need to close your eyes, don't look at the dirty floor. Pool open in May, it is a outdoor pool so some leaves always floating in the water. There are 2 entrances, only one works, they do not plan to fix the other one, because they don't want people "come in and out through that door".
5. Maintenance is fast and nice. Usually can get things done the same day or next day.
6. Sound proof is ok. You can hear your neighbor occasionally but not always.
Overall, I regret moving in, dealing with parking and management daily is not fun, but I have 10 more months. I will defiantly move out when the lease ends. I DO NOT recommend this apartment.
