You Take The Good, You Take The Bad...

Beautiful apartments, super friendly staff, great neighborhood... but it's a crap shoot due to the poor soundproofing between apartments. Many of the residents have been here ten years or more, which is do-able if you live next to people who are reasonably quiet and keep normal hours... or better yet, knit for a hobby and have no friends, lovers, or tv.

However, due to the hardwood floors and lack of soundproofing, ALL sounds from your neighbors and stairways are magnified. Mgmt requires that you carpet 80% of the place (paid for out of your own pocket), but even with carpeting and thick pads, I can still hear when my neighbor's phone rings, when the tv is on, whenever the front door is closed, and even sometimes just a normal phone conversation! Not to mention the occasional louder event.

I love everything about my apartment, EXCEPT I don't think my neighbors or myself should have to creep around or talk in lowered voices just to avoid being a bad neighbor. This is the least soundproofed apartment I have ever lived in (it's even less soundproofed than my college dorm!) Even with earplugs in, I get woken up by doors closing, footsteps on the super-echo-y stairwell, tv noise, and conversations. Unless something changes drastically, I will move when my lease is up. IF I can last that long!
