These apartments are in a prime location and have nice floor plans. That is all I can think of that is remotely positive about Contour39.
Lots of noise and smell from neighboring apartments - on one side I get to hear all my neighbors' fights. On the other side I have a neighbor whose late-night showers wake me up every night. Much worse are the smells. Every time the neighbors cook or wait too long to take out the garbage, it stinks up my apartment and my home stinks every time a neighbor's
...toilet gets backed up (often).
The driveway loop is a sequence of blind turns made more dangerous by the fact that a lack of parking spaces means that many residents leave their cars double parked (extending into the driveway) or parked curbside (despite the fact that all curb areas are marked fire lanes). Throw in some kids riding around the parking lot on bicycles (there are not sidewalks) and it's hardly surprising that damage to vehicles is common.
Maintenance is abysmal - Our apartment had been recently remodeled when we moved in and the evidence of shoddy workmanship was immediately apparent. Some fixtures had been painted around, leaving a border of the old paint color (brown). Other fixtures had been removed and not replaced properly (they fell off). Doors jammed or didn't latch at all. The cupboards were not painted properly. As soon as we put dishes in them, the paint stuck to our dishes and peeled off the cupboards (the paint underneath was brown too, if you're curious. The buildings seem not to be insulated at all. Because the provided washer and dryer are terrible, we recently put in our own and discovered that the renovations did not include replacing unsafe 3 prong dryer outlets with the 4 prong ones that have been required by the National Electrical Code since 1996.
The staff is generally unpleasant and I will actually schedule my visits to the office to avoid one of them. They are either deliberately unhelpful or have the intelligence of garden slugs. I'm not sure which.
My overall warning about this place is that it's all about the surface. Everything looks new and top-quality but underneath it's garbage. The staff comes across as polite, even obsequious, but treat every interaction like an inconvenience and have a two-faced quality that leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth.
