MH is the type of residency that books are written about. It has downtown culture, access, and interesting folks at all times. Everyone is friendly at the pool and in the elevators and some of my best-friends have come from my neighbors. The corporate housing people usually keep to themselves though that demographic also adds to the interest of the building. Rooftop pool is gorgeous though the water is pretty cool. Personally I prefer a cool pool on a hot muggy afternoon but that's not everyone's
...cup of joe. There's Facebook groups for a continuous 'yard' sale where residents sell their stuff and another where they plan outings together- from drinking to concerts to brunch, etc. Proximity to the stadiums can't be beat!
Alright- now, the apartments were built in the 60's and it shows. Some have updates and some do not (appliances, faux wood flooring, etc). Arch view can't be beat thought the corners or apartments with balconies on either side are supreme!
There are definitely cockroaches though it seems some apartments get it worse than others. Lower levels seem to have a bigger issue with this. Free laundry is great! Usually plenty of machines, just make sure you watch your stuff or people will move your laundry to in order to accomplish theirs. Again, everyone's pretty nice so it's not really an issue.
The apartments use a centralized air system that saves a lot of dough but can result in the need for a space heater in the winter or fans/AC in the summer. Water runs hot out of the tap and pressure is good. Walls are thick and cementy so I can barely hear my neighbors, but the glass windows are thin and lead to loss of temperature to the outside and noise pollution of downtown life into my apartment. Some of this is good- horses clopping by from the carriages. Some bad- drunks post-game.
Attached garage, 7 levels of parking.
