We moved in about a month ago. We like it quite a bit.
Pros: Quiet on the outside. Most people have jobs and aren't blasting music or loitering around. The apartments are fairly nice and clean. The staff is friendly and reasonably accommodating. It's snowed twice and they have it plowed and shoveled almost immediately. Swimming Pool yay!! Google Fiber yay!! Gym yay!!! We haven't noticed any pests despite other reviews. Good washer & Dryer in each unit. Good closet space and lots of room.
Cons: There isn't lighting or ceiling fans in the bedrooms, so bring your own lamps. The plumbing fixtures in the bathrooms are low pressure and cheap. The walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors. Ours are fairly quiet luckily. Maintenance issues are addressed, but take a while. There is a lack of parking due to 70-80% of the parking being reserved or ''premium" (extra cost), so either you pay extra to reserve spots, or you spend a couple minutes looking for a spot and park far away from your apartment. This is a considerable pain when moving in, as all of the spots in front of the apartment are reserved. So you'll be walking that couch an extra 20-50 feet at move-in. The gates are usually inoperable, but getting your key fob off while your car is running is a pain anyway, so maybe that's not much of a drawback. There's only one dumpster/compacter, so taking out the trash is always a trip. There is a curious shortage of heating vents (our living room has none and is always freezing, and the bathrooms are always like saunas).
The bad stuff tends to stick in your mind, but overall we like it here. No place is without it's own issues.
