Overall, we are pretty happy with The Sterling. I would give 4 stars when the construction is complete so 3 stars for now. The construction on updating the whole place has been the biggest challenge. You do hear it if they are redoing a floor within 2 on either side of you. They start sometimes before 8am (they aren't suppose to do that but they do) and work till about 5ish. The place is updating the elevators so 1 out of 4 will be down till probably next year some time. The one thing that I don't like is all utilities are communal and then split among the renters. Therefore, if you are out of your place, you will still pay for your utilities. Also, in the winter months, the construction sometimes keeps the doors open, which causes the place to use more than normal. The building of the Comcast 2 can be noisy if you're on that side. All of this is manageable of course. Getting past those real items and on to the place in general. They've done a good job on the renovations and the place is coming together. The layouts of the apartments are great and so are the upgrades. This, of course, comes with a price. You get access to the gym, pool (best in the city), 2 Viking grills and a nice roof top outdoor space to hang in general. The staff is some of the best I have seen. They are always helping in any way possible beyond just selling you the apartments. All are very responsible if you call, email or text them. The building management continues to add nice stores on the ground level; and you can't beat the area. Just blocks from everything. Management makes sure they do events for the building too and cool ones too (private party - open bar) at Misconduct just to mention one of them. There are more items here but don't want it to get too long. I would put it on your "take a look at" if you are looking in this area.
