I lived in Eastside Bond from Oct 2019 – Sept 2020. Overall, it’s a really nice apartment complex with excellent amenities and location where, upon moving in, my wife and I had planned to live for a few years.
Unfortunately, things took a turn in early March 2020 with COVID. Since that time mask mandates were poorly enforced and it was common to see residents in common areas (lounges, gym, elevators, hallways) without masks and the occasional employee wearing their mask improperly. The lack
...of mask adherence by residents was so bad that the Executive Vice President of Property Management sent an e-mail on Sept 10th reminding people that masks were required. Of course, the occasional e-mails did little and mask adherence remained poor and largely unaddressed by staff until the time we moved out. Overall, we had little confidence that staff were willing/able to appropriately address mask adherence issues and, since that could be detrimental to our health, decided to move out. If this might be a concern for you, I’d suggest looking elsewhere.
One last thing…we were concerned about rent increasing at renewal since that had been mentioned in a few reviews previous. In our experience, rent was only increased ~3% at renewal.
Overall, if COVID never happened we’d probably still live at Eastside Bond…it’s a nice, albeit expensive, complex in an excellent location. Unfortunately, we felt health was an issue and the value wasn’t there with the amenities closed or being used by people not adhering to mask rules. If you’re concerned about COVID I’d suggest staying away from Eastside Bond until there is a vaccine.
