My fiancée and and I moved in here just about a month ago, and we already cannot wait to move out. The noise in the is awful, its an every day occurrence. We normally welcome the noise of children playing and laughter but this is to the extreme. This is noise that belongs in a playground area, not in common areas. The kids are screaming and bouncing balls off of the garage, and in the street and hitting multiple cars. My fiancee and I have spoke with the children on numerous occasions, and they
...have either completely ignored our request or escalated the noise purposefully. This isn't just a few kids, there are between 7-12 kids at a time, the loud play continues for hours. They play in our side yard, back yard and front yard/street. (Mind you these kids don't even live in our building.) My fiancee and I are also continually picking up garbage which the children are constantly leaving. We have spoke with some neighbors who expressed the same issues. We spoke with the management, but nothing has changed. This "luxury" apartment is super cheap! There is no insulation--no exaggeration. We can hear our neighbor snoring! It also sounds like a herd of elephants lives above us--it's absolutely ridiculous. The noise makes this place unbearable.
The things that I am not as impressed with, but could deal with if we didn't have to deals with all the noise include:
-Cheap appliances and fixtures. For a "luxury apartment" you would think the fixtures would match, but they don't. We have gold, white and silver mix matched fixtures.
-People parking in the street. They don't enforce parking in designated areas here. People park on both sides of the street, which makes it a pain to drive though. (Hate to see what it is going to be like in the winter.)
-Looks trashy... literally. People keep their garbage bins in the front of their house. A designated garbage area would have been a better bet. Instead everyone has thir trash bin, in front of the garage.
What makes it 2 stars instead of 1?
-Its nice having an exercise facility. It's not top of the line, but you can get a quick workout in if you don't have time to go to the gym. (As long as you don't need to lift more than 20lbs in free weights.)
-Its by North Ponds Park. I do absolutely love having it so close to walk on.
Overall the cons pit weigh the pros, I would not move in here.
