I've lived at the beach club for the last 4.5 years and have enjoyed it, it's a great place for the traveling professional and the athletic club staff are very personable. Pros - - Athletic club and pool are a great bonus, elevator down to a gym in the winter is a significant bonus - The upgraded apartments on the vintage side are very nice (I had a view of the Lake) - Urban Eatery is also pretty solid (definite upgrade from the View) - Dry cleaning and packages are delivered to your apartment which is pretty nice Cons - AIMCO (the management company), this is the reason I'm not giving this 4 stars, they are trying to nickel and dime residents. *** ALSO MAKE SURE TO NEGOTIATE EVERYTHING IN THE CONTRACT, I MISSED THE RELET FEE OF 200%, IT SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 100%*** - Once you're a resident, you can expect a battle to keep your rent down, mine increased 13% over 4 years and that's after doing significant market research to counter the initial increases that were proposed - There is no recycling program - The windows on the vintage side to not have screens, given the wasps that inhabit the upper levels In the end, I really liked living there, but the management doesn't value resident relationships. If money is of no concern to you, then this is a great place for you. Best, Matt
