We lived here for six years, and loved living here for the majority of that time. The location cannot be beat, and the neighbors living there are some of the best people in Nashville.
However, the environment majorly changed when new management took over. It went from feeling like a small community to your average corporate apartment. The upgrades to the apartment were a major inconvenience over the last few months (entire hallways being filled with paint and remodeling work - very loud and
...difficult to maneuver around; the exteriors being scraped of paint and screws and paint littering the ground for weeks; leaf blowing around the property pretty early in the morning; the laundry facility being taken offline with very little notice). I often said that it felt like they forgot people actually currently lived there while they tried to “spruce up the place.” Communication from the office staff was often slim except when the office would be closed — which was fairly often. (And the office staff seemed as surprised as the tenants did when things would happen like work crews suddenly starting to work on the buildings without notice. I don’t think upper management communicated with them well, which in turn affected communication from them to the tenants.) Also, they now charge for things that were once included in the rent (trash valet—even though dumpsters are easily accessible—and water, parking, and additional monthly pet fee).
We hated to not sign another lease after calling this place home for six years, but the changes were really uncomfortable and inconvenient, the rent price hike was steep without any added amenities, and many of our beloved long-time neighbors relocated because of these issues.
Again, the location is absolutely amazing and the property is beautiful and I would still recommend it, but you can expect the same experience as any other big-company managed apartment in Nashville.
