    The location is fantastic. We love, love, love our apartment, and the office, maintenance, and front-desk staff are friendly and efficient. The amenities are great (although we're not using them during COVID).

  • The elevators can... (Verified Renter)

    July 27, 2020
    The elevators can be frustrating. It's not so much the waiting, although it can take long To get an elevator during peak periods of demand, it's the illogical way that they are programmed. For example, if I'm going to floor 41 and there's an elevator going to floors 20,43, why wouldn't it also take me to 41? Instead, I have to wait, sometimes for a minute or more for another elevator and it may only be going to my floor. It's esp frustrating when it seems illogical

  • The maintenance staff... (Verified Renter)

    January 3, 2020
    The maintenance staff is fantastic and the only part of Optima that has consistently excelled and provided great service AS A WHOLE (no apparent weak links). I unfortunately can't say the same about the leasing and concierge staff, although most of them are great. I certainly can't say many positive things about the most of the package room staff (though there's a new one who is amazing; she has somehow seemed to memorize everyone's names in the building); most of them seem to hate their jobs and ...
    are intermittently rude (most especially the male employee who I see from time to time). I know many residents share the same sentiment. The maintenance staff is always smiling, goes out of their way to speak with residents and asks how they're doing, and at least appears to take pride in their work. The rest of the Optima staff would do well to follow their example.

    December 9, 2019
    We love our unit, the location and the amenities. However we are not impressed with the lack of attention from management on issues of residents not abiding by rules. ie. dogs being allowed to roam in common areas (I'm highly allergic) guest policy at the pool not being enforced, people saving chairs at the pool for them and 20 of their closest friends. We've also been informed by a few different residents that people are renting their units by way of Airbandb. This is HUGLEY disappointing.
