Nice Amenities & Friendly Residents

by 21person at Citysearch

Either I moved from New York and am immune to the construction noise or the construction is over. I really don't think the noise is that bad. Its your typical City noises which to me sound like white noise at this point. I've met a few of my neighbors so far and they seem pretty nice. Everyone kind of does their own thing and no one gets in your business which is good. There is a security desk downstairs which is always occupied 24/7. Again, they seem pretty nice as well and very responsive. The only thing I would like to see as an improvement is that I wish the website was more interactive and user-friendly. I would like to enter simple work orders online as opposed to emailing Brian directly in the office.

• Pros: Amenities, View, Location, Good Prices, Security
• Cons: No online services

5 Stars Yea OK

by atlmatrix at Citysearch

2 reviews... one with 1 star, the other with 5 stars... how would that make 4 stars?

Nobody likes this place enough to give it 5 stars... smells like management.

Right now I'm listening to the grinding of the 14th Street Bridge construction and the bass from my neighbors entertainment system above... good times.

• Pros: The view.
• Cons: The view with noise. They drive down prices because of the 14th Street noise and the low class people start piling in.

Thin walls, low class atmosphere.

Management somewhat rude and abrasive. I should have taken it as a sign to move on but I needed to make a decision quick. Told me the place would be quiet but in fact has been the complete opposite. Neighbors above & below like to throw party's and distort the view 100%. The view becomes a joke... put on top of that the 14th Street Bridge project and you got Hell... ta da...

They're trying real hard to get people in here but don't be suckered.

It took them a month recently to get the pool fixed (still has no water)... it had to be drained and they didn't give any real reason as to why it happened. They were on it tho... they really wanted to get that back & working in a hurry. Pffff.

If I could get out of my lease I would.

• Pros: Dry Cleaning In-house, Great View, convenient location
• Cons: Thin walls, very thin walls, some tenants questionable at best, 14th Street construction noise at night and in morning (no matter what floor)
