a carefully disguised slum
i lived here from january of 2020 to january 2021. i love the downtown scene and while i knew this apartment building is old, the renovations make it look nice and the remodeled studio kitchens look great. however, you truly cannot slap a coat of paint on the building and make it look pretty without fixing the underlying issues. the building is genuinely infested with bugs, in the walls, the floors, every crack and crevice you see. i kept my kitchen spotless and would still see them roaming my... countertops. took out the trash every night and they still crawled on my walls. in every single kitchen drawer, roaches. i heard the apartments further down my hall on the 2nd floor were infested with beg bugs badly. fire alarms going off constantly, to the point where the one time the building actually DID catch on fire, nobody evacuated because we assumed it was one of the weekly false alarms. cars constantly getting broken into, i watched a lady get robbed in the parking garage from my bedroom window and had to call 911. security is nonexistent and doesn't arrive on property until 9 pm so literally it is a complete free for all for thieves during the day. bullet holes through the front lobby windows more than once. and yes, because the doors are a key fob entry, any management person with a master fob can freely access your apartment at any time. just because the state of nevada requires 24 hours notice before entry does NOT mean they will do that if they just want to sneak inside. they give the key fobs to matinence people and pest control companies and the people will literally go into your apartment unannounced, i have caught them on my blink house camera (i suggest you get one if you live here) and demanded they leave as they did not give 24 hour notice. as a young single woman i felt unsafe constantly knowing someone could just walk into my house. horrible management and honestly awful living conditions. feel bad for all the sweet old seniors who live here, and for the front office staff (colton!) who are just doing their best.
