I can only speak on the 2 bedroom Kentuck (facing the Zorinski preserve) There are MANY other…read morebuildings and "views" that will be different than the one I'm reviewing.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this apartment!
QUIET:
Are there noises? Yes, it's an apartment. But it's WAY quieter than ANY apartment I've lived in or visited before.
I came from a house in a "quiet" small town, where there were MUCH louder neighbors. I often have all electronics off and (most often) enjoy a very peace and quiet time.
Full disclosure about noise:
There are some people that allow their doors to slam when they enter and leave, you CAN really hear everything in the hallway, but honestly, these noises are fleeting as people come and go quickly, no one is holding a party in the hallway. I rarely ever hear anything through the floor or walls.
My neighbors have dogs and I've NEVER heard one bark for long. Once in a great while I will ONE "woof" in excitement when the owner gets home.
Two years in, we had a very active upstairs neighbor. The staff was amazing, they spoke to him and gave him alternatives to his extremely loud activities (offered him free use of the media room). That helped but we decided it was time for us to move to a top floor apartment. Once a two bedroom, third floor facing the Preserve opened up they got us in!. If you're super sensitive to footsteps above you... get a top floor apartment. The steps ARE worth it!
SIZE:
It's HUGE for the price. Check out other luxury apartments, this size, in Omaha and you'll find you're getting a LOT of bang for your buck.
COMMUNITY:
I am a weirdo loner, but there are a LOT of community events, sweet residents and caring staff. If you enjoy a sense of community, I would totally suggest living here. If you're a hermit like myself, I would also suggest this apartment complex because no one pushes me to "join". In other words, I feel welcome to "join in" (on whatever) but not pressured.
THE FREAKING VIEW:
SOME of the Grand Legacy apartments (including mine) directly face the Zorinski Preserve. Which means I'm seeing (NO other apartments) but rather, a ton of gorgeous trees, LOTS of wildlife, including cranes, coyote calls, owls, deer, too many other types of birds to mention. I sincerely feel like I'm in a wildlife sanctuary or treehouse!
OFFICE STAFF:
From day one I've felt taken of, comforted and at ease with the staff here. They ALWAYS listen to my concerns, question, needs and do everything they can to accommodate me.
I mentioned that I'm quite a hermit. Instead of hitting the big box stores I utilize Amazon for EVERYTHING. As you can imagine, I'm getting lots and lots of packages. They are so sweet and never made me feel bad about that. They have even helped me out with heavy ones!
GARAGE:
The garages are HUGE.. super deep. I am a "long term" camper, biker and kayaker so I have a TON of camping gear, four bikes, six kayaks, plus furniture storage (for friends), tires, etc, etc and have PLENTY of space left.
MAINTENANCE STAFF:
These guys are the BEST. Just today, I did something stupid and overloaded my garbage disposal. Maintenance came out within the hour (as they usually do) took care of it and even though I was the issue, treated me very nicely and just explained how to use properly. NO irritation.
This is just one instance, they've been amazing with every single thing that I asked for or needed.
LOCATION:
The Zorinski Trail head is SUPER close by! I am able to walk or bike to it in minutes.
Anything you could want is within walking distance or a few minutes drive or bike!
In this particular apartment, I feel that I'm in the middle of nowhere but have ALL the amenities I could ever ask for. I actually wish I knew about this earlier, I would have sold my house and lived here sooner!
If you've read all of this, you deserve a medal. If you're considering The Grand Legacy Apartments - I would HIGHLY recommend!!
