I am writing this review because I just had a negative experience. Overall I do love this…read morecommunity. It's kept very clean and the leasing office staff is generally prompt and quick to work with you. We are rarely home, both my husband and I travel for work. I just deep cleaned my apt, and when I removed the drawer to the oven to clean the inside of the drawer where I keep my some cookie sheets, I noticed an extreme amount of grime sticking to the bottom of the oven and crumpled paper towels just floating on top of it like it had fallen back there. I knew this was not from us. We have lived here a little over a year but rarely use the oven, I also keep an immaculate home. A little back story- I don't like people in my home once I'm occupying it unless absolutely necessary, so rather than putting in a work order or making a complaint I do whatever I can myself. At move in, the shelves in the laundry room were caked with dust and very grimy with detergent which seemed compiled over years of use, I cleaned it myself for about an hour. Making sure I got between each wire of the shelves. I also unclogged the drain in my guest bathroom bathtub, and literally pulled bandaids out of the drain with a drain stick, whomever did the inspection here did not do a good job, and whomever lived here before us obviously wasn't very clean. I just emailed the leasing office regarding the bottom of the oven a couple nights ago because I just noticed it and I really did not want to clean that myself. They responded that it wasn't on my inspection sheet (which literally has nothing on it, cause again I'm not going to nitpick and spend my valuable time inspecting each crevice of every nook and cranny before I move in, of course the unit is not perfect it was built like 15 years ago) and assured me it was clean before I moved in. I am pretty peeved about the entire situation. I'm very aware of my own habits and cleanliness. I would notice paper towels falling into the crevices of my oven. I did NOT put them there. And that kind build up only happens when you live a unkept lifestyle, that certainly isn't our mode of operation. I will attach my side of the correspondence only (I don't want to breach any privacy clauses) and the pictures of what the oven looked inside of where the drawer sits. BOTTOM LINE- INSPECT YOUR APT IF YOU'RE MOVING HERE. Especially areas you normally wouldn't, because I promise you they don't. Remove the drawer to the oven to check the inside, move your oven out, move your refrigerator out, check all of your drains, make sure your shelves are clean, unless you want to clean it yourself like I did. To the Crossing apts. do better inspections. Don't put that job on your tenants. This was a literally fire hazard, what if those paper towels caught fire? And, don't put blame on tenants for your own shortcoming. I shouldn't have to remove the drawer to my oven to make sure you did your job. We have been exemplary tenants, and make very little complaints and keep an immaculate home. Our apt is better now than the condition it was in at move in. Our inspection sheet was empty because we gave you the benefit of the doubt, that should have been reciprocated.

PLEASE LOOK TO LIVE ELSEWHERE. I don't even know where to start with this review, so let me start…read moreby saying that yes the layout in the large apartments are nice, and the appliances all worked and looked good. But there's a lot of negatives to living here. To start the manager here is extremely stand offish and not welcoming at all. Not sure if rude or just mean is the right word. All the way to the moment we moved out she just made me and my wife feel like a problem to her. Now small problems are the roaches that kept crawling out of vents and the windows. Our bedroom window would not fully seal closed so water would get in. The toilet is INSANELY close to the counter so there is very little room. Now when we moved in immediately there was a very obvious smell in the apartment. And the closets smelled even worse. We were told that there was a bad smell in the fridge so bad they had to bomb the fridge, which would make you think they would bomb smell the apartment? Nope. So they told us they would use a small ozone treatment which did absolutely nothing so they offered to paint in the closet which made the smell stick to the walls and made it worse. And we turned down the paint in the first place but they begged us to. And then when it didn't work we asked for another transfer which we asked for, for months. We asked again and we were basically told that we already cost them enough money. The smell stuck to MOST of our stuff. We had to throw out all of our furniture, collectibles, clothing, posters. So much of our stuff is now thrown out. And months of storage unit we had to pay for, for stuff that we got out immediately. So she offered us to just move out within 30 days and gave us no specific date to get out and then would say "this offer will not last forever" and we did damage the carpet with a small amount of bleach because that is the measures we had to go to to try and get the smell out (which didn't work) we had multiple family, and friends, to smell in the apartment and they all smelled it. So all in all this was an extremely bad experience. So if you're looking for an apartment I would suggest looking elsewhere. If you want more specifics about this experience you can definitely reach out to me on Facebook under the same name.

I can't speak to actually living here - I don't. But I did go through a pretty thorough…read morewalk-through and saw several of the floor plans and the building amenities and common areas during a tour yesterday for a friend who is considering signing a lease. The building is lovely, new, and well-decorated and laid out. It has all of the modern conveniences you would love and most of the floor plans have some sort of ocean view. They have small 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and three bedroom floorpans with different layouts and all come with all appliances you'd need (stove, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and washer/dryer). Some of the floor plans are very very tiny and cramped (maybe would work for some) and some area spacious and much more airy. All have a modern look, white tiles and finishes and cabinets, with high ceilings (think 12-15 feet) and updated fixtures (like a lighted and dimmable vanity in the bathroom). Rent is high here, but the rooftop bar with expansive ocean views from the 18th floor as well as the common area (with conference room and complimentary coffee bar) and gym, are very well-done. The gym has a side room for classes such as yoga and cycling with new equipment and 5 Peleton bikes. Rent is around $2200-4500 range and they run sign-up specials from time to time with some reduced pricing (common for rentals). Prices are subject to change but - you can expect to pay $110-125 for up to 3 parking spaces in a gate-controlled parking garage one block from the building. You also pay $30 a month for trash pick-up outside your door which is every night. Additionally - between $40-150 for a gated/locked storage spot. All things are accessed through your key fob - to lock and unlock your door, the lobby, the storage area, parking, common area and rooftop and gym. Additionally, they use Face ID tech to provide an additional layer of security. Residents also get 10% at the floor-level restaurant, Oscar's which has a beautiful wrap-around ocean-view patio and a large seafood menu. I was impressed, it's pricey, but it's lovely.

They do offer to have carpet cleaned after a certain amount of time. -would be nice if they had 24/7 on site security but rent would probably go up -you can place your own ring camera at your front door or whatever camera of your choosing. But yea, no cameras on the apartments. Again, would probably make rent go up. -rent, it is what it is, everywhere is expensive. You can pay monthly rent in two separate payments if needed. Wow! That's a lot! But hope it helps! Again, I've lived here for a few years. I would move if I wasn't happy. So anything I mentioned that seemed like a complaint is obviously something that's not high on my priority list. -I've lived here for several years and never had any issue with crime.

So, pros: - love the pool, it's never too crowded but you guys need to limit ppl bringing visitors to the pool. -parking drives me crazy bc door dash, grub hub etc always take my spot bc it's upfront. But it's not the apartments fault. You get one reserved parking spot and then any other vehicles will have to park in resident parking. You can have anyone park in your reserved spot. Visitors included. -geese poop everywhere! Again, not the apartments fault but definitely frustrating. -Maintenance can't always work around your schedule. They are pretty good about getting in and getting out. -the have elevators, although on rare occasions they don't work -I've never had issues with hearing my neighbors through the wall. Maybe I'm just lucky. Idk. -they have ppl that clean the elevators and the walkways et close on a regular -depending on where your apartment is located, it can get loud. Like if you face a main road.

Overall, my experience has been great. The community is so so quiet, safe, close to everything,…read moremaintenance is timely and nice, and the community is well maintained. A few things I'd like improved are pet poop bag stations, more kind leasing office staff, a pet play area, a working gate, and more community events. All of those things are non-existent and for the amount of money it costs to live here, it doesn't feel like an unreasonable ask. For example, I have called the leasing office twice since I moved in and one of those times was to submit a noise complaint for my neighbor (after dealing with it for months and just letting it go). I called the leasing office and Angie acted as if I was inconveniencing her, she asked if they were really being loud as if I called the office just for fun, and made it seem as though this request was outside the scope of her leasing agent responsibilities. I have called the leasing office TWICE since I've lived here so for this to be the response was very off-putting, to say the least. For the pet improvements, there is no play area nor are there poop bag stations. There is poop EVERYWHERE because people don't pick it up. It's not right but the complex could do something to make it easier to dispose of it. The gate is seemingly there to be able to say it's a gated to community, even though it never works. Parking isn't great either but there's only so much you can do about that. Lastly, as far as community events the ones that they sporadically hold seem like "here, just to say we did something" events. More thought and effort could be put into them like getting food trucks, or having a single resident social, or holiday theme events. Anything more thoughtful would be great.
