We love living at Park Court. The location is amazing. This complex is located on Cherokee Road,…read morewhich basically runs parallel to Bardstown Road, between Highland and Grinstead (which is the Wick's and Speedway on Bardstown Road). We can walk anywhere in The Highlands comfortably.
The complex itself is very nice. It was renovated a couple of years ago, so we're actually the first people to live in our unit since renovation. All of the flooring, appliances, paint, etc. is brand new. The appliances are nice Frigidaire Silver Mist stainless look. The flooring is tile in the kitchen and bathroom and wooden laminate throughout the rest of the apartment. The bedroom has an area rug, but I'm not really a fan of the color or design. It's nice that they give you the option of keeping that to use though. My only other complaint is that the grout in the tile flooring and shower is not done very well. None of it is sealed, so it gets dirty easily and is tough to clean. And there are smears of it on some of the tile, like the job was rushed.
Depending on which building/what floor you live in the layout of the apartments are different. They also have options between one or two bedrooms, so that makes a difference in the layout as well. Our apartment is small, and the rent is in the upper range, but it's totally worth it to live in a nice gated community in Cherokee Triangle. All outside doors and gates are locked and you must have a security code to get in. This is very nice, obviously for security reasons. The only downfall is if you order a pizza you've got to run out front to meet the delivery person in the parking lot. But, that's a minor inconvenience.
There's off-street parking in the form of a small front parking lot and a covered parking lot in the back. Each resident is given a parking permit for the front lot, but you must pay (I believe it's $35/month) for the covered parking in the back. All visitors must park on the street, and if the lot is full residents must park there too. This has never been a huge deal for us, and typically street parking isn't a problem.
There is also a really nice courtyard in the middle of the complex. If your apartment faces into that, which ours does, you will have a patio or balcony overlooking the courtyard. It's small, so there's not a ton to see, but it's nice to be able to sit outside with a few of the gazebo, fire pits, small trees, and rosebushes. There is also seating in the courtyard around the fire pits and inside the gazebo. And there's a nice community gas grill to use any time you like.
There's also a community/social room that's very nice. I use this room often when entertaining guests. There's a big screen TV, dining table and chairs, a couple of sofas, a sink, a full-size refrigerator, and male and female restroom facilities. You can reserve this space any time by emailing the complex manager, Sheila. She's really great and always addresses issues promptly.
We're planning to buy a house next year, but we are currently enjoying the remainder of our time at Park Court.
