Central, quiet luxury
February 6, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
I moved here 2 weeks ago. If anything changes, I'll be sure to update. The apartment has been as lovely as I hoped.
Staff: Easily available over email, friendly, professional. They've checked in shortly after my move and about a week or so after as well.
Concierge: Quiet, very friendly and professional, happy to answer any questions and happy to greet guests.
Security: It feels secure, the area directly in front of the apartment is clean and safe, the alley behind to get into the parking lot ...
is clean. No concerns. With an app I can monitor whether my door is locked or unlocked and provide guests with temporary access codes.
Noise/Environment: I toured a handful of other high-rises in the area and Helios is comparatively quiet. You can hear the occasional siren from the streets, and neighbors/dogs when they enter the hallway near the door. Other than that, I can't hear anyone above or on either side of me.
Maintenance: Everything has been well-maintained. Elevators are working well. Appliances are either new or look new and clean. Any questions I have had have been addressed, and the service request I submitted about my blinds/shades was promptly answered and fixed. I have not experienced any bad smells.
Space: The generous windows really make my apartment feel extra spacious compared to other buildings I toured with similar square footage. Many of the units I saw during my tour at Helios have ample closet and storage space. This apartment almost has more than I need, and I would even consider choosing an even smaller unit when my lease is up, but I'm otherwise very happy with the walk-in closet space I currently have.
Location: Perfect for walking to several nearby coffee shops, restaurants, and several grocery sources within a 5-10 minute radius. From H-mart to Target to several places at Pike Market, to Walgreen's - it's perfect. Close to at least one bus station.
Guests: No guest suite but the Charter Hotel attached to this building seems more than adequate to house guests.
Amenities: I love the rooftop views and fresh air. The area is immaculately kept. I look forward to enjoying it more often through the year. I have not used the dog lounge yet but it is kept nice and clean. The gym is well-attended and their equipment works well.
Parking: Parking is hard to get as it is in other buildings. There is also a garage or two within walking distance, and street parking.
This is a good one.
