    Water leak issues and defective infrastructure

    My experience has been very different from the luxury image advertised by this property.

    The sound insulation is a major concern. I can clearly hear neighbors several units away talking on their balconies with my windows closed, and I have also experienced buzzing/vibration through my walls. For a newer building, I expected significantly better soundproofing.

    I have also experienced an ongoing water-leak issue that has affected my utility costs. Based on my experience, I have paid
    … approximately $60 more per month than expected because of the excessive water usage.

    The advertised smart-home system has never worked properly. I submitted two separate maintenance requests with photos and detailed explanations and also went to the office in person. When I followed up, I was asked, “What was the issue again?” Management has repeatedly referred to problems as “miscommunication,” but my experience has been that issues require repeated follow-ups without clear resolution.

    Several amenities have also been disappointing. Some gym equipment and TVs do not work properly, and the common areas and yoga studio can have a musty odor. I have also observed moisture and mold concerns.

    The property charges approximately $90/month for internet, while comparable service is available for considerably less elsewhere. I also have questions about the cable TV referenced in the lease addendum.

    Although the property advertises itself as pet-friendly, the pet restrictions and poorly maintained pet amenities have made that experience frustrating.

    Overall, the biggest issue is the gap between what is advertised and what residents actually experience. For the price, I expected better construction, functioning amenities, responsive communication, and more consistent maintenance. I recommend prospective renters visit the property at different times, test the amenities, ask about utility costs, and speak with current residents before signing a lease.
