Disappointing Experience
While the apartment itself is fine, noise has been a constant issue here. The upstairs neighbors slam heavy items and create tons of impact noise all throughout each day and night. It’s loud enough to disrupt sleep and prohibit normal use of my apartment. At this point, I strongly believe the noise is intentional, or that they are operating an unlicensed business out of the apartment. I’ve contacted management multiple times, but the problem has only gotten progressively worse, and they won’t... let me end the lease early. While they eventually offered to let me move to a different unit, if I’m going to go through the hassle and expense of moving, I’d rather move somewhere where the community guidelines are better enforced. (I’ve also dealt with frequent marijuana smoke from the balcony of the same neighbors. Building is supposed to be smoke free.)
I've lived in apartments over the past 19 years, and I’m very accustomed to the typical noises that come with apartment living. This is far beyond that, and no match for the white noise machines and sound blocking earplugs/headphones I’ve purchased. If you value your sleep and sanity, I’d strongly recommend considering this experience before moving in. I am moving out at the end of my first lease term, which is the quickest I’ve ever ended a lease. I have never been so excited to leave an apartment. Overall a disappointing experience.
