Good Place Overall

We have lived here for a year now and we just resigned our lease. We were looking to relocate only because of the fact that the apartment was a bit far from where we worked and the commute was getting to be too much. But everywhere we looked we could not find any place that was as near as nice for the good price. We found these apartments as they had finished building and the price was just ridiculously low. It was due to the fact that they had just finished building and they were trying to fill up the place and other market reasons. Regardless it was a steal. BUT when we moved in we were facing Blanco street and the noise was unbeareable. All night all you could hear were cars passing it was very loud. I called the Manager and asked her to move to a different apartment near the back of the building and they were very helpful. For only $20 bucks more a month we were moved to an apartment near the back. The apartment is nice and quiet now and I was so very grateful for them for helping us out. (Although I must say that the other apartment building was down right un inhabitable and I hope they do or have done something to improve the noise issue on that side because I feel horrible for the people having to live over there). The apartment itself is absolutely gorgeous. Granite countertop kitchens, very spacious, lots of storage/closets. Good sized bedrooms. Very large bathroom (only complaint in the bathroom is I wish the shower was a tad bigger and a better quality - its some sort of plastic material that is very hard to clean!). I have never been so in love with an apartment like this one. And I could not find anything near as nice anywhere in SA for even CLOSE to the same price. Oh and did I mention they have valet Trash... freaking awesome not to have to haul smelly garbage any farther than my front door. In terms of the amenities, they are ok. The gym is small especially for the size of the complex but it is clean for the most part. They have gotten better about putting in sanitation spray. And they have started fixing the machines that were broken. I really wish they would do something about those children that get in there and break those machines and use the gym as their personal playground but there is not much that management can do about bad parenting. And yes like other comments on here there is a dog poop situation - again management can't really do much about bad dog owners, I just stear clear of the grassy areas! The pool and outdoor kitchen areas are nice but they are ALWAYS packed with TONS of people. I think that with the size of the complex they could stand to put in a second pool but its not a bad set up. Also love the ability to do maintenance requests and pay the rent over the internet. It makes things so much easier just to log on and pay or log on and request for them to come fix something (which by the way maintanence is pretty good I'd say never had to wait more than 24 for something needing to be fixed - but I have only had to use them for random things like fixing a light or the blinds nothing major has gone down). Overall - We have really enjoyed our experience here. I am always weary of apartment complexes and their sneaky ways (especially since I am an attorney I am always going back to the things that were on the lease or anything that I signed in regards to fees). But they have been upfront about their costs and about their fines and all in all they are a good place to live (just stay away from the Blanco side of the complex!!!)
