The office staff are very pleasant and are attentive to our needs. The maintenance staff does a great job in keeping the grounds well maintained. This year we had a winter with a lot of snow and ice and every morning when we went to leave for work, the sidewalks and parking lots were clear. The staff that cleans the common areas are great and the areas are kept tidy at all times. The neighbors are friendly, the apartment is quiet and there is a great dog park. This is a great place to live.

Do NOT Rent Here -- You'll Regret It…read more This place is completely overpriced for what you get. The walls are paper-thin -- you can hear everything your neighbors say and do. Privacy doesn't exist here. The apartment I was given was significantly smaller than the one I was shown during the tour. When I brought this up, management ignored me -- just like they ignore pretty much everything else. The appliances are unreliable at best. The stove broke, the shower leaks, and the gas grills outside... they almost never work and are never cleaned. On top of that, the gym smells awful, and the ventilation inside the apartments is practically nonexistent. The stove vent doesn't even lead outside, so every time you cook, your entire place reeks -- and since the windows don't open, you're stuck with it. Temperature control is a joke. My apartment is either freezing or sweltering, It does not push effectively to my side of the apartment. You'll constantly feel uncomfortable no matter the season. Random No wifi! Fire alarms going off for no reason. Coffee shop is never open when you need it. Management is the worst part. They don't respond to questions or maintenance requests, and they absolutely do not care about the residents. They use manipulative tactics like saying the building is "almost full" to pressure you into signing quickly -- which is a lie. I spoke to someone trying to sublease their unit, and they said the complex is regularly over 10% vacant. This place is full of broken promises, poor maintenance, and indifferent management. Save yourself the money, time, and frustration. Look elsewhere. Seriously.

The location and actual apartment are fine. Expensive, but fine…read more The management is the issue. While there were several problems, the main thing was fraudulent charges for damage fees. The apartment was in the same condition move in vs move out - actually, better condition on move out because it was clean. On move in, the apartment did NOT have new paint or any touch ups since two of the tenants had lived in the same unit the year prior, so they had left all their stuff hanging on the walls in the common areas. On move out, all 5 roommates received bills of nearly $1,000 each for damages that simply did not exist, and I very much doubt that the Legacy "fixed" anything. Charges claiming the floor was scratched when it was not (rug was on the floor in question all year) and claims of issues with the walls that would have simply been addressed by painting before the next group moved in. My advice - take videos of everything when you move in and have a move out inspection with the management.

Although the apartments are not the cheapest in town, I really enjoyed living at Paramount Circle…read moreand found it worth the price if you can budget for it. For $945 a month, we rented a two-bedroom, two-bath unit with a great layout for roommates (bedrooms at opposite ends of the apartment), including two parking spaces. We got all-new high-end appliances, including a glass-ceramic top stove. The apartment was simply quality: everything was relatively new and undamaged. The fitness center on-site was a great perk. Although their official materials permitted only two pets, we had three cats between the two of us and they OK'd this with no trouble. Our lease was scheduled to be up at the end of July, but when we both found places to live by June they offered to end our lease a month early to save us having to pay double rent.

We just renewed our lease for the 2nd time, which should strongly indicate that we are happy. Management while sometimes hard to get on the phone has always been easy to work with and honest. To us it seems like they care not just about their property but also their tenants. We live at the paramont woods complex on oakwood. It's well maintained with a dedicated Super. Any time during the week we've asked him to take a look or fix something, his response has always been "Is now a good time?" Also he's super friendly. Our complex is also pet friendly (one time albeit large deposit), and if I had to venture a guess, about 65% of all the tenants have a pet.

This building is old and a bit dirty and neglected, sorry to say…read more The appliances are from last century, and there is old shag carpeting everywhere. I lived there for several years, and they never once cleaned the outside of the windows (and there is no way to do it yourself). It wouldn't surprise me if those windows hadn't been cleaned in a decade or more. When I moved in, the office employee repeatedly assured me that the apartments were professionally cleaned. (In hindsight, I should have been suspicious of this claim based on the number of times she said it.) The oven clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Grease was just caked on inside, like someone had broiled 100 steaks in there. The baseboards were covered in dust and dirt but then paint had been applied over it. The fan in the bathroom was on the same wall as the neighboring apartment's kitchen, so whenever the neighbor cooked, the bathroom (and my towels!) would stink of their cooking. This issue also caused a greasy film on the wall with the fan. The previous tenant had put scotch tape all over the windows (because the windows are as old as the hills, leak air and actually rattle in a strong wind). That tape was still on there when I moved in. There was no weatherproofing on the sliding glass door either, and freezing cold air would gush in during the winter (unless you covered the seam with tape?!). Crazy. What else? There was no soundproofing, because again, this building is OLD. You could hear when the neighbor would push back the shower curtain. Any door that wasn't closed gently would SLAM and you'd jump out of your skin. If the person living above you weighed more than 100lbs, it would sound like a water buffalo was walking around up there. Emails to the office about anything would simply be ignored. You would literally get no response that your email had been received. The positives to living in this building were: *covered parking garage *the giant Christmas tree in the atrium during the holiday season was very festive *close proximity to campus (Worth .5 star) *right across the street from the police. I never had a package stolen out of the mail room and I'm certain it was because of this. (Worth .5 star) A lot of these issues could be fixed but that would mean someone would have to care enough to put money into the place. You know how that goes.
