The building is constructed in a “U” shape, the elevators are located in the corners of the building making almost every apartment quite a distance when loading and unloading. As Affinity requires that all large items, are moved through the reception entrance, this increases the distance to your apartment. Alternatively, you can use the entrances at the corners of the building but ONLY if you have paid the add'l monthly fee of a parking spot. And as only a few spots are actually convenient, this
...makes procuring a parking spot quite competitive at times. In most cities, or complexes, you are allowed to park nearest your apartment for a short amount of time to move your items into your new living space. Customarily, landlords/tenants are accommodating to these necessary actions. Not so here. Affinity sends a bulletin with moving directions that require you to, pull up to the entrance, unlock door, push your furniture etc into the reception area, down a long hallway to your unit, and repeat as many times as needed. Then back to your car and park in a free spot you can hopefully secure as all convenient spaces are “paid only”. Monthly storage units are available. You pay monthly for the length of your lease,
regardless of how long you need it. Rent does include WiFi and TV, but the channels available are limited and can't be upgraded therefor Affinity’s choice of channels are now become your choice. DVR is available but only from Affinity, it costs $250.00. After leaving we were told by management that the DVR would only work in that apartment and nowhere else rendering it useless once moved.
The sound coming from the Freeway is loud and constant unless you live on the street side. Keeping windows and patio door shut was required to dim the noise. We felt like we were being reprimanded more than once by staff and, by the regular bulletins about the need of correcting the actions of the residents.
Many moved away while we were there. Requiring ongoing sales and tours.
In attempting to contract the parent company to discuss my dismay with the
management, I could not locate that contact information. the numbers found on the
web were out of service. When I reached out to a different Affinity to obtain at least a
phone number, I was told it wasn’t available and asked repeatedly why I wanted it.
After being on hold for 35 minutes, I was told they would call me back. They never did.
“ SALES “ and protecting the company are “The” priority at Affinity. Big thumbs down.
3 pets max. Monthly rent is per pet.
