Let me start by saying that I am very picky and have high expectations. We moved in quite quickly and the leasing team was very accommodating. I chose to live here because of location, covered parking, dog friendly, and the small number of apartments. I would probably give 3.5 stars if allowed. Mainly because of annoyances, missing features/amenities, some poor construction, and cutting corners on basic things. Some of the construction quality is poor (Low ceilings, anything lower than 9 feet is low to me. The bathroom tub is small (about 2 feet wide). I don't like tubs to begin with, but at least have a 3 foot wide tub. There are no drawers in the bathroom vanity (Yes, there is room to have a set of drawers on either side of the 2 doors of the vanity in my model). There are no valances on the blinds (You know the ones that usually come with the blinds to give a finished look and usually come with the blinds?? So I don't know why they are missing) so basically, you just see the metal of the blinds and where they separate. Also, they didn't reverse the controls for the left and right blind, it's usually a free option, so not sure why they didn't do that). The lighting is pretty good (the only complaint I have is that I wish they would put a few recessed lights in the living/dining room, this is complaint in every apartment I've lived, not just here). The appliances are okay to excellent. They are stainless steel. The refrigerator is basic and does not have filtered water, but does have an ice maker. The stove/oven is really good, convection option, first apartment with this option. The dishwasher is basic as well. The washing machine is terrible, it is considered a full size, but the tub is about half the depth of a normal full-size and the water level is very low, so you can only put in a few items at a time. There is no way to wash a king blanket or a large load of towels. Every apartment I lived in could handle this. Both the washer and dryer have manual controls, so no push buttons or electronic controls, it's the kind you have turn the dial around and then pull it out for it to start. They do provide a nice beige on the walls and white trim, so the two tone is nice, but it's not a great job, lines aren't straight and there is some paint of the floors. There are plenty of electrical outlets. Closet space is very limited in my floor plan (a half-walk-in closet and then a normal coat closet). Sink fixtures are nice, but sinks are small. The microwave is very nice as well and it is vented which I love. Sound proofing between the bedroom and living area is terrible as they share the same heating/cooling duct (so if you are in the living room talking it sounds like the person is right next to you in the bedroom, but I don't hear other residents which is great. The apartment was pretty clean on move-in, but still lots of construction dust on the floors and in the windows. I have lived in several "Luxury" apartments, built a luxury house and condo, so I know a bit about quality of construction, luxurious finishings and amenities vs. basic/spec. There is no gym or fitness center which is expected at this price point. There is free underground parking which is nice, but I don't feel 100% safe as anyone can just walk-in or drive-in as there is not an access controlled gate, to be fair it also parking for business as well. This is a great location in Columbia as there is so much to do in walking distance. There is a Whole foods a short walk away, and a small lake that has walking trails. The leasing team and front desk staff have been great. I haven't had to ask for maintenance yet, so I can't comment on that. The views depend on your location/floor but I think they are acceptable with the exception of the side that faces another building. The only redeeming quality is that there is a nice courtyard below and if you stretch your neck you see more than just the building. I recommend if you are looking for a place for a few years. There are lots of choices in the area with better amenities/finishes at lower price points. read more
