The Selma Apartamentos

The benefits of living at the Selma are obvious: Wood floors, exposed brick, nice appliances, well-maintained buildings, and the little amenities (like dog waste bags by the dumpster) that make Urban Village buildings a pleasant place to live. The location is also convenient for getting to downtown or on the highway to head west, and we walk sometimes to Midtown. That said, I don't think my wife would walk around alone at night.

This is also a great place for dog owners (as many of the... renters are), because there is courtyard lawn area, and the quick trip from downtown makes it easy to pop home over lunch.

Having lived there over two years, there are a few things that can bug us. First, the washer/dryer unit is nice in theory, but it take a long time for a load to get through both the wash and dry cycles, and having only one unit means you can do only one load at a time. Second, the heat/AC is often blowing air, and it can be quite loud -- sometimes we have to turn it off when we watch a movie.

Overall, great apartment, and I recommend it to those looking to pretty close to downtown without all the expense of it.
