So far, really good!
I am finishing my second year here, and just renewed again after a modest rent increase. Everything goes up every year for everyone (including homeowners), so I am OK with small increases. I see other reviews here about the unresponsiveness of management, and although I have had no major problems with my home, I disagree that they are unresponsive. I email or stop in to the office if I have a concern, and it's always handled in a timely manner.
I feel like I live in a resort. The rent is high... here considering it's the suburbs, but the building is meticulously maintained, the pool is fabulous, there are amenities I don't personally use like the community rooms, outdoor grilling areas, exercise room that's spotless and well-equipped. Yes, sometimes the elevator is out of order, and I...wait for it...take another one or I take the stairs! It's usually a minor inconvenience.
My apartment is spacious, very thoughtfully laid out with storage for all I have, and I have a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. I do hear noise from my neighbors when I'm in the hallway, but I do not hear it when I'm in my home. Overall, aside from the occasional gathering in the outdoor common area late at night, I feel this is a quiet, peaceful place.
I have great neighbors of all ages and family situations, and we have a friendly community. I have a dog, and this place is wonderful for her - lots of playmates, a dog washing area and two dog parks if I want to let her off leash. My life here is simple and, despite the high rent, it's still inexpensive compared to suburban home ownership. The building has nice retail, a Sprouts grocery, and restaurants in it. I go to physical therapy, and the PT is right in the building! Couldn't be more convenient.
I will live here for as long as it financially makes sense for me to do so, and I will remember my time here fondly.
