The move-in process with the front office went very smoothly. All questions, pre-move-in concerns and poste-move-in issues were answered, quickly. The apartment was clean and ready to move into on time. The neighbors have been quiet and polite, thus far. The gym and amenity center are well maintained and clean. The gym actually has some nice equipment.
Now, for the unsatisfying parts considering the cost of rent in a luxury apartment. The appliances are functional if a bit basic, but much like
...the countertops and cabinetry throughout, they could use some updating. The counters are built with the most basic of materials and tend to stain easily. Otherwise, the kitchen is in working order, but lacking in storage or shelving for pantry accessibility.
One upsetting thing if you work or study from home online is the fact that the apartments are lacking in some electronic and electrical updates which were advertised to be present in all the apartments. They need some modern updating in this regard, as well. For example, the apartments are supposed to have "high speed internet access", and that is technically true. Your internet is provided by Spectrum upon move in with an easy self-installation kit. However, there are "outdated" phone line jacks in every room (RJ11 ports) which serve no purpose unless you intend on having a land-line in every single room. There are no high-speed internet ports or RJ45 jacks which should be in every room, instead. The office manager said it was up to Spectrum to come out and install such jacks in the wall for devices which needed to be connected directly to the internet instead of through WIFI. Spectrum on the other hand said that they don't install jacks, and it was up to the apartment to already be wired for that. The solution we had to come up with was to run 50-100 foot expensive ethernet cables from the router to any devices which needed them.
Another oversight which is annoying is the fact that the bedrooms have a wall switch which is meant to control an outlet on the wall instead of a normal ceiling light. However, in one of the bedrooms, the intended light switch is not wired up to any single outlet at all, and there is no other light source in the room. I have double-checked every single outlet in the room several times to verify this fact. I have a switch which does absolutely nothing on my wall.
