Last year I signed a lease with B-Side and I was new to the area. They did a great job with prices and trick you into all the amenities their apartment offers. They made it seem like they were a family, cared about their residents. Everything seemed new, up to date, safe, and one of their biggest sales point was that it was next to a light rail ( I should've known better). Please do your research on this area before you even consider moving into it and I recommend you visit this apartment at
...night if you're really contemplating.
- Fire alarms constantly went off throughout the apartment, forcing residents out of their apartment at odd hours of the night. The fire department would show up and everything would be cleared within an hour or two because of something little. My biggest problem was that there was no communication what caused it (ever).
- I paid $150 for parking and if the fire alarm went off, the underground gate would not open and you would be unable to get your car out of the underground garage.
- The parking is crazy, I paid $150 for underground parking and my car still got broken into. I had several friends who paid for the parking outside and their cars were broken into on several occasions and even had damages on their vehicle. IF something goes wrong with your underground parking access card, B-Side has no control over resetting it because they share this parking structure and it technically does not belong to them.
- There is almost never anyone there who wants to help you. They are quick to get you in and never want to talk to you ever again. Their turn over is extremely high.
- I was so afraid to have my packages delivered here because packages would constantly be stolen or the door was broken, preventing anyone from accessing their packages.
- There were always homeless people inside the apartment complex, roaming around and it was the most frightening thing because I lived on my own for a couple months. They always talked about improving the security and when I was there, nothing was done. I hope this has improved.
- Quality of the Apartment
The walls are very thin and you can hear the conversations and television from your neighbors. The apartment is updated but everything is done very cheaply and breaks down.
