I live at the block on leon. The apartment is average, I will say that we pay significantly less than the quoted rate for a 2/2, so despite what they say there is a lot of negotiating room.

Pros:
- very modern building
- decent workout room
- AWESOME roof view
- nice appliances
- assigned parking is nice and enforced
- maitenance crew is good

Cons:
- wireless internet is a joke, very slow
- noise = big problem, lots of drunken idiots
- vandalism due to drunken idiots. Hallway is usually trashed and full of puke by Sunday. Somebody even ripped the front door handle off!
- my car was broken into in the garage, not entirely their fault
- elevator frequently broken
