The photos on the website are deceiving - the "dog park" is not the one pictured at all. In fact it's half the size as the one in the photo. They use AstroTurf and the feces and urine from tons of dogs just sinks in - It smells horrible and is too small for the size of the building. Plus a lot of the dog owners don't pick up after their dogs. The rent is high enough but they charged me an additional $565 per month for a parking space, $75/ month for my dog, $50/month for the mailroom and $10/day for any day that I didn't pick up a FedEx envelop when I was traveling. Plus water, utilities, etc. The dishwasher was low end and didn't clean my dishes. The washer and dryer in the 2 bedroom was so small I could only do half loads of laundry at a time. The spaces in the parking garage are too small for anything but a compact car and driving up and down the ramps and around corners is a disaster. So many people have hit the barriers and bars, they are colored with paint from the various cars that live there. The sides of my car my mirrors were damaged multiple times and I'm having it fixed once I move out. The pool is only 3.5 feet deep and is always so crowded you can't move around. Also, tenants reserve chairs by putting towels down and then take off for hours leaving the chairs unoccupied but "taken". If you were hoping to do laps here, forget it. It's like Spring Break in Florida, people on top of each other. The location is great but...there are a lot of homeless people and drugs there. Not unusual to see human feces on the sidewalk, people drugged out of their minds yelling, passing out, and overdosing. Also, when there are games and concerts at the Garden, it gets very loud when the crowds get out. And last by not least, there is constant construction in the area, which starts off early morning and is very loud. The concierge staff is great but even they can't make up for all the stuff that is wrong with this place.
