To start off, they make the leasing process incredibly easy. Aside from phone calls or emails, they also communicate with you via text. It almost felt like I was texting one of my best friends for a while. Very quick to respond and work to get me answers when I needed them. The whole process is done electronically as well, so if your schedule is super busy, you don't have to go in person to sign anything. This is also the first community I've been in that doesn't screen based on income either.
...It's so obnoxious to me to feel like I need to make almost $7 or $8k a month to afford like a $1,400 apartment. I was told I came back as approved with conditions and they had a few options for me to go with and all was fine with me! They were great in following up with me after my lease was signed, and the welcome I got on my move-in day was awesome.
The X Club is incredible. I can definitely tell a lot of thought and effort went into designing the building and the community, and what they strive for is so great because most places I've lived at have a clubhouse or a small little fitness center, but this place feels so much more open. You get free access as a resident to daily fitness classes, you have private conference rooms you can use, they've been doing NFL watch parties on Sundays with different food provided each week, there's a public bar and restaurant coming soon. I could go on but you get the idea lol.
The staff is great. They make you feel incredibly valued, respected, and understood, even when I sometimes get an answer that I don't entirely like I can still tell that they care. You have a free app you use that is your key to the apartment, and you can message the staff through the app, so you don't have to constantly call or email them. The utilities are set up in advance for you so you can save some extra money. I LOVE having an in-unit washer and dryer.
This is definitely not what would be considered your typical apartment community. It's a new product that some people out there may not entirely grasp, which is understandable. That said, if you do have kids, the club is awesome, but it's definitely geared towards a more adult crowd, so I get why it's a kids-free zone. You can still have kids with you in your apartment though. They are also building a new phase of the community, so there's been some construction noise, but granted you're also living downtown, so there's gonna be some noise either way lol.
Overall, would recommend!
