This will be a long review, but in short avoid this place as best you can.
To begin, the Enclave is a typical 5+1 mid-rise apartment, meaning the first level is retail and the next 5 levels are living spaces for residents. Typically the way these buildings are constructed is the barrier between the retail level and the first level of living space will be concrete with insulation to keep out noise from below, with the rest of the building being wooden frame. The Enclave, for whatever reason, does
...not have this. There is no sound barrier between the retail level and first level of living space, and so you are able to hear EVERYTHING that happens below you in the very busy Total Wine garage, this includes them loudly moving freight at 11 pm and 6 am. The upper level frame does not get much better. There is zero insulation, if you put your ear up to a wall you can literally hear the air blowing through it. Sound CARRIES through this building, from below, from the hallway, from your side-to-side neighbors, upstairs, and even diagonal. Whether people here are inconsiderate to this fact or don't realize, I'm not sure, but it doesn't really matter. Management does not really have any control over the frame of the building, so, what can you do about that?
At the beginning of our lease, I liked the management here, they're nice and will listen, but ultimately are kind of useless. They were kind enough to allow us to switch units as our neighbor below would scream out of his window every night at 3 am and bang on the walls, probably in retaliation to another neighbor keeping him up, as I mentioned previously the sound carries. After we switched units, they hit us with a $230 cleaning fee for our previous unit. When asked, they said it was a a flat fee they charged all units. Note, the lease mentions there is not a flat fee but rather managements discretion on whether or not they charge. What this means is that, no matter how clean you leave the unit, if management decides it needs a cleaning service they will charge you $230 no matter the work needed. When asked for proof of what was needed to be cleaned, I was sent a picture of an oven with some build-up on the bottom, a faucet with a small soap stain, and the living room carpet with the shadows of light fixtures bouncing weirdly off of it. $230 for that? They will charge you for it, no matter what you do. Might as well not clean on your way out, honestly.
