7-month update: great place to live. Overall it's been very positive and I've already referred friends from the area who love it here too. :) I would suggest giving the place a look. Prices are listed online, and they tell you up front during the tour about amenity fees. Neighborhood: - Wonderful, down-to-earth community of people ranging from families to young professionals. - Generally quiet and well-soundproofed. Yeah, I do hear my upstairs neighbor walking around if they're stomping, but it's not obtrusive and I barely notice it (working from home 8 hours a day, etc). - Restaurants and bars nearby are quite good. We were already going out of our way to go to Jettison, Houndstooth Coffee, etc before I moved here/while I was visiting friends. - Proximity to Deep Ellum and the highway can't be beat. $10-15 Uber ride on weekends, to get to the heart of Deep Ellum; maybe $20 back if you try to hitch a ride during last call. - Super close to Oak Cliff for convenient access to shops, breweries, and gyms. Apartments/units/building: - Some units have really nice views. See what yours will be. Jazmyne said I'd get a Dallas skyline view and that's exactly what I got. Some other units are significantly more affordable because they don't have as much of a view. - The newly-renovated units are really nice. There were some issues on initial move-in with the contractors missing some things, but every time I filed a maintenance request the issue was dealt with within a day or two if it was disruptive and within a week or so if it was minor/aesthetic. - Instant hookup to AT&T gigabit/fiber internet. - Easy setup for energy/electric. - Pretty good soundproofing between units. Thick windows help if there's some activity outside too. - Outdoor hallways. Not an issue, just something to bear in mind. You won't get rained on besides moving through central areas. - Good amount of protected garage parking for the population, pretty accessible. Decent amount of guest parking. - One con/caveat worth mentioning: the main/central elevator breaks fairly often. It's definitely an inconvenience if you live up on higher floors like I do. However, they made me aware of that fact before I moved in. I just adjust my parking to use the elevator that works at the time. Does it suck? Yeah. But I don't want to look past all the positive for one negative that they're very transparent about. Management: - Kourtni & Jazmyne made moving cross-country really easy. They made sure I had all the information I needed to move in. They've also been helpful and friendly for general inquiries. They both live in the building, so they are dealing with any issues that we deal with. - Sylvan Thirty has a whole integrated system for residents online that's easy to use, for things like announcements about events to rent payment balances to maintenance requests. Maintenance requests are easy to file, trackable, and you even have your history of in-progress/finished requests! Sooo glad I don't write checks anymore. - CAF Management's property & maintenance staff are on the ball. They are probably stretched thin, with many people living here, but they really do their best. Jorge, Dejerq, and Zack do a bang-up job and should be commended.
