Single best part of living here: the property manager (Kevin) is awesome. Whatever you're paying him, give the man a raise. Easily the best landlord/property manager I've ever encountered. Moving in was easy as pie and he answered probably 30 of my questions in two days, always responding within minutes. I've had bad landlords in the past and they really can make or break your experience.
They made accommodations for me to get a unit wayyy ahead of time and worked out a unique rent arrangement, which was greatly appreciated. It's not common to find apartments that work with you on lease terms.
The property itself is really nice: super well maintained, spacious apartment, and secure (love that it's gated). Huge tub and fast pre-wired internet are a big plus. Living here for the past month has been awesome. I don't know how they constructed the apartments but I rarely hear any noise from people above/below me. Having a gym on-site and dog waste bins with bags scattered about the property at regular intervals is super convenient. The landscaping is also super nice and clean.
Only a couple of cons:
- The other tenants are pretty terrible about picking up after their dogs. The property does have people cleaning up regularly (I think daily) so this isn't a reflection on the property itself.
- The property I moved into smells pretty heavily of weed. I know it takes a while and a lot of work to get that smell out; they did the best they could. I confirmed with a neighbor that the previous tenants smoked pretty consistently. The smell is almost gone but it's still lingering.
- Improving the process for getting guests in and out is a great opportunity to make living here a bit less clunky!
- Monthly fees aren't posted until the 1st, even though rent is due right away. I prefer to pay ahead of time, and the possibility of getting slapped with late fees trying to shoot for the perfect timing to pay both rent and fees at once is slightly irritating. For now I'll make two separate payments per month, I suggest building more flexibility into this system.
Overall, fantastic experience, highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great apartment close-ish to downtown.
