For me, use of the amenities by the public and safety for the residents is a major red flag for this building. Many people are drawn to this building for the pool, basketball court, and gym. While they are nice amenities, know before moving here that they are essentially treated as open to the public with the building management and security doing little to enforce its usage. The pool and gym will always have non-residents there using them, whether there are clients from a trainer being let in to
...take up machines or people sneaking in and finding ways to be let up to the pool to party. It's a mess, and building management's consistent reply to issues regarding amenities is that they are a bonus luxury they provide and not something guaranteed as part of the rent. If you pay the high price of rent to live here, I'm sure you'll feel otherwise on if you should have easy use of amenities...
Then, there's the basketball court. At about 4pm every night, don't plan on getting up some casual shots if you're a resident. Anywhere from 20-40 men off the street sneak in and continue to pry the door open to let each other in. They take up the entire space, and security refuses to remove them for two stated reasons: nobody ever listens to them and leaves or some of the security has good relationships with the people off the street and don't want to ruin that. This leads to a large group of people off the street that are unaccounted for being in the building. All from non-residents, there have been fights to break out, threats of violence when you try to leave to walk to your apartment, and guns have actually been pulled out before. Building management has been made aware of these issues frequently and have yet to instill any effective solution. The court is as bad as ever. With the issue being at an all time high, I let the building know that I was not comfortable living here due to my personal safety being questioned stemming from an issue they continue to not only not resolve but seem to be fine allowing. They could care less and won't let me break my lease until they've got all my rent money.
OVERALL, I would suggest going with a different apartment complex if you're looking downtown. This property is a bit too spread out with too much going on that seemingly everything falls through the cracks, and you're left with an apartment where anything goes, even if you don't live here.
