I lived here for two years with 3 roommates. The place is relatively nice and clean, and we enjoy the pool and gym. The biggest complaints we have is that it's noisy, both from the other residents (very thin walls/floors) and the downtown area. The garbage truck arrives at 2 am almost every night, and if you have a courtyard-facing apartment, it's almost a guarantee that you will be woken up by the loud clangs and beeps. The fire alarms will also go off at random times for only a short interval… and we are never given an explanation for the reason of the alarms. In March 2025, a new building across the street started construction, meaning we lost all lot parking. So unless you want to pay the insanely expensive $120-a-month garage parking, you have to pay city parking for one of the public garages nearby (about $75 a month, and you have to move your car for game days unless you purchase the "game pass" which is also too expensive).
We love that the building is close to the Haymarket and we can walk to bars and city campus. Management is nice and hosts frequent social events, but the appliances are cheap, and it's obvious that maintenance does not prioritize their upkeep. The temperature regulation is poor, and the thermostat is unreliable, probably because the seals around the windows suck. A lot of the nice parts of the building are just nice because of how new it is, so hopefully the management company makes an effort to upkeep the building. Whatever rent price you sign on the lease, mentally add about $50-75 a month for fees, and also whatever you pay for parking. Read More
