Renter Beware: Stay here if you want dogs and cats and are okay with dog piss and crap in the halls, stairwells and the elevators. The smell is absolutely nasty. There's a massive shortage of parking outside and the underground parking garage door works about 90% of the time. There's a number of issues with assigned garage parking with people parking in your assigned spot. There's issues with broken down cars that have been sitting for months' and months. The upside is the place is new however if you need something fixed you'll be lucky if or when maintenance will fix it. Noise control is non existent, people partying late into the night jamming their music, floors and walls are thin so you can hear everything side to side and up and down, really loud motorcycles coming and going all night, dogs howling all day and night. If you like weed and want a contact buzz just go outside on your deck and there's plenty of people smoking weed. For me this was an added bonus! The smoking rule is not enforced, if your okay with people smoking on their decks and on the property or you are a smoker who likes the smell of pets this is the place for you. The management is very new and a lot of the help is very young. I think the management and staff needs a lot more training on what to tell new renters as well as current renters. The management needs to train the staff much better on issues that arise and on basic questions related to service issues and basic contract details. They have a number of system type issues that relate to running a property this large. It's very important to understand there are a number of additional charges in addition to the rent that you will be paying. You have basic rent charge and mandatory charges that all add up. You'll be paying rent $$$/mo PLUS about $120 in common utilities: common gas, common electric, water, sewer, trash that are almost always full and overflowing, plus valet waste that is often not picked up (does not include apartment power and gas) + $60 garage parking (maditiory) + $80 internet (mandatory) + $12 Insurance (mandatory) + $12 Real Estate Tax (mandatory) + Power Bill (huge windows make it cold in winter and hot in summer) + Gas (furnace runs all of the time in winter due to massive windows). So plan on Rent plus an additional $284/mo approx.. billed by apartment complex, PLUS power bill $50-100+ in summer. Gas bill $50-100+ in winter. I rented several storage units and a garage. Some of the storage units and garage were being used by maintenance. The front office rented them to me and I'm 100% sure it pissed off the head guy in maintenance. My storage units were keyed over after getting them keyed to me as well as never keyed back over after following up, luckily I took pics and video of everything. Do not trust the front office or maintenance guys. Document everything (pictures and video everything) when you move in and along the way so you have evidence, when you make changes to anything, when you need something done. Do not call the office if you have any basic contract questions they don't know what they are talking about and haven't been trained properly by management. The property manager Jackie doesn't stand by what her own employees tell the tenants so trust about half of what they say. Don't assume a standard 30 day notice like most apartments. It's 60 days and if you plan to move out in 30 days your rent will go to the "market rate" which was an additional $450/mo if you don't have a lease in place. It's in the contract so be aware of this obviously, it's just super shaddy. This could be a really nice place to live if it was managed better, maintained better, all of the pet waste in common areas was cleaned up, controlled the noise, weed, smoking, partying, parking issues.
