This is a very attractive complex, nice landscaping, well cared for, and with all the amenities. My two-bedroom apartment is spacious and full of light from all the windows (with blinds), and comes with a private balcony. The kitchen is fully equipped and well laid out, while the bathrooms are roomy and attractive. The kitchen and bathrooms have granite counter tops, and there is plenty of closet space with shelves and hanger rails. There are power outlets everywhere, including the balcony. A
...washer and dryer is provided without charge. The hot water, heating, and air conditioning are all more than adequate for my needs. The location is perfect for me: just a couple minutes from I-71, and just a few minutes more from Columbia Parkway.
I have easy access to Oakley square, Hyde Park Square, Hyde Park Plaza, Mt. Lookout, dozens of restaurants, even more shopping on Red Bank road, 15 minutes from Downtown, and ten minutes from Kenwood. There is lots of parking (unassigned). The recycling, trash, and mailboxes are convenient and centrally located, and the areas around them are always clean. Electric gates guard the entrances on Erie Avenue and Red Bank road (entry by code or wireless remote). You can have a dog or cat too, and the pet owners are very conscientious about leashing and cleaning up after them. Electric is provided by Duke, High Speed Internet/Cable by Time Warner and Cincinnati Bell. CS bills residents for water, sewer, trash and recycling (one convenient monthly bill). My apartment was spotless when I moved in, and they have been responsive to all requests. The office staff is equally great and friendly. There is a website portal for maintenance requests and paying rent, and I can contact the CS staff through the portal, by email, by phone, of just walk up to the office (in a lovely mansion that was part of the original property). Finally, my apartment is quiet, which is very important to me. I occasionally hear people talking on the stairs as they pass by, but that's about it (the stairs are outside, so people don't linger and chat). I've been here three months, and there's been only one loud-ish party that shut down before 10 PM. I have no regrets at all about moving here.
One year update: Still love my apartment! Stable and reliable Management and Maintenance staff keep this complex in top shape.
