I've been renting a 1-bed apartment here for about 12 months, and while the value on paper is good for a 1-bedroom apartment with a garage, the lived experience has been really poor.
The bedroom in my apartment is directly over a neighbor's garage, and the noise is quite loud anytime the door is opened/closed; it will wake you up even if you're not a light sleeper. The bedroom wall is shared with the stairwell for the same tenant who owns the garage, and you will hear them clearly if they are ...
walking or talking in the stairwell. I've heard worse actions that you wouldn't want your children to.
The wall in the main room/kitchen/stairwell is shared with a different tenant. Since the only ethernet connection is on this wall, it incentivizes tenants to place their TV/media setups on that wall. This means that if they watch TV or listen to music, you're going to be forced to as well. On an average day, I can Shazam my neighbors music standing 10-15ft from the wall at my kitchen sink; some of it is them being bad neighbors and having the volume too high, but that's in addition to the soundproofing of the walls being exceptionally bad. The dog policy is non-enforced and there are several tenants with restricted breed dogs, and there's no enforcement of leash laws/policy. I've been jumped on by the neighbors' large dog several times, reported it several times, and nothings changed.
I have empathy for the office and maintenance staff because they have been as helpful as they likely can be, but I do not recommend living here unless you financially have to. If you're not lucky enough to have quiet neighbors, you'll have to pay $3100+ or just hate where you live until your lease runs out.
