Where to even begin. This place is a complete nightmare, from the incompetent staff to poorly planned just about everything, not to mention how overpriced it is. If you want an idea of what it's like to live here look up the instagram @liveatparkwaylofts. When I first moved in I thought it was great, all these cool amenities (that you'll never use but most definitely will overpay for). For the first 6 months of living there they advertised things that weren't even built yet (i.e. the dog park). We had to deal with obnoxious construction noises all day, nothing was offered to compensate us. Well they finally have the amenities they claim they have, so at least you'll get what you pay for now I guess.
The staff: The staff are the most incompetent and frustrating group of people I have ever met. They never know what they are talking about, constantly contradict each other from one staff member to the next, and don't do what they say they will. Once while I was out of town I got a text that there was a package in a locker for me. A couple days later I got a text that it was my "last chance" to pick up my package before they would send it back to the carrier. I called countless times, somehow their phone system hangs up on you after 30 seconds if they don't answer, and yes this is still the case as I just tried calling a few times today and it did the exact same thing. Eventually after trying every hour I finally got ahold of someone who said they would hold my package and took down my name and apt #. I called the next day to CONFIRM this was the case with another staff member and they confirmed they would not send it back. I get back from my work trip and head to the lockers to pick it up and surprise surprise, it is not there. I go into the office and they told me they sent it back. Confusing considering 2 different employees I spoke to ensured me this would not be the case. On top of that anytime you need anything done here good freaking luck. Maintenance requests take weeks (our smart lock broke and we were locked out because we didn't carry the keys and PL told us it was Vivint's problem. After weeks of going back and forth between PL saying there was a request in...there wasn't...I finally reached out to Vivint myself to get it done.
The property: There is absolutely no storage space whatsoever, we had to pay extra for a garage just to have a place to put things outside of our room. There is also no pantry space so hopefully you don't cook at home very often. The washer and dryer are so small you can't even fit a comforter, be prepared to do your laundry twice a week if you don't want to go to a laundrymat. The place is poorly cared for, trash everywhere, dog poop on every inch of grass, seriously good luck walking across any grass in this complex without stepping in poop, pee/food/trash littered in staircases, it's a hot mess. People leave PILES of trash outside their apartments over the weekend despite trash only coming on weekdays to the point that it topples into your doorway. The people who live here are disgusting and disrespectful.
Move in: Upon move in the place was much less than immaculately cleaned, it was honestly disgusting. I could tell what color dog had lived in the unit before us, long black hairs ALL over the carpet as well as what looked like a poop stain where a dog wiped his butt on the carpet. There were stains running down the island that looked like the previous residents threw a party and failed to clean up all the beer spills. There were holes in the ceiling on the lights above the island, holes in the cement on the patio (we were the second occupants), the backsplash in the kitchen was crooked starting at the beginning of the microwave and getting bigger and bigger with a huge gap between the microwave and counter on the side with the fridge. Shotty workmanship.
Parking: good freaking luck. Ever since they opened a new building parking has been an absolute disaster. They gave out parking passes that did not even correspond with your apartment. One spot was covered, ours was 2 buildings over from where we actually lived. It was in between 2 poles and my roommate could not even fit his truck in there, I could hardly fit my Mazda6 in there without dinging my door trying to get out every time. If you have any visitors or overnight guests now they have to park at the train station, a solid 15 minute walk from building B. They started towing left and right before I moved out so I don't suggest testing this.
Move out: The hilarious part about us moving out is they tried to claim they would charge us for carpet cleaning and they do this after every resident. Which is COMPLETE BS considering the amount of dog hair littering the carpet of my room when I supposedly moved into a "clean place".
I SERIOUSLY suggest you look elsewhere to live unless you have an incredibly high tolerance for crap. If you don't believe me just look up the instagram @liveatparkwaylofts, enjoy. read more
