Honest Review
I’ve lived at Alice House for 7 months. The building itself is well-maintained and in a good location, but overall, I’d suggest anyone considering Alice House who owns a car think carefully about parking needs and the surrounding neighborhood conditions, and discuss these thoroughly with management before moving in.
When I moved in, I was told there was a waitlist for on-site parking. However, after over seven months, there’s still no clear timeline for when a spot might become available. The... alternative garage offered is a few blocks away (about a 7-minute walk), costs about the same as on-site parking (~$230), and has rules like first-come, first-serve even if you’re paying monthly. It’s just not ideal if you have groceries, kids, when it’s raining, or when you’re coming home late and have to pass by the rowdy club and its patrons hanging out near the apartment.
Walking to and from that garage—or anywhere nearby—can also be unpleasant because the streets surrounding Alice House often have piles of trash, dog waste, and strong odors. It’s not ideal for anyone who enjoys walking or has to park farther away.
There’s also a club located right by the apartments. Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night, expect to hear music from inside the club as well as extremely loud club goers until around 3am.
Although the onsite staff are very nice, my biggest concern is that Alice House management wasn’t willing to offer any flexibility or assistance, even after I explained my situation. After everything I’ve experienced living here, the parking situation was the last straw. I ultimately decided that ending my lease early would be best. I definitely expected some early termination fee, as outlined in my lease, but I was quoted double what I anticipated. The fee is insanely high, and even if I had the money to pay it, it feels unjustifiable. Ultimately, I feel trapped and helpless.
If you don’t have a car, Alice House might still be an okay place to live, but I’d recommend asking a lot of questions before moving in.
