My wife and I lived here for about 1 year, in 2011-2012. Our experiences overall were very good with few complaints. The staff is very friendly and also very hands on (don't be surprised to see Mark Johnson, the manager, out doing a little cleaning himself at times throughout the day)! Speaking of Mark, this location is very professional managed and the staff are always willing to go out of their way to help out when they can (we borrowed their vacuum cleaner once, things like that).
We did have one persistent issue with a 'knocking wall' (which I did experience in one other apartment complex once) -- basically a loud 'banging' as if someone was hitting the wall, though I'm sure it was actually inside the walls -- above the in-unit washer and dryer.
However, besides that, I'd rent here again. The rent may seem a bit pricey, but it's in line with the surrounding area (or even cheaper). It's also attached to a Snap Fitness, which is convenient, next to a Walgreen (which is extremely convenient for middle of the night, quick runs), and the bus line and Light Rail both pass very close by. In terms of neighbors, we rarely heard ours and had no real issues with noise all at. If you're looking for a well kept, nice place to live that's in the city but not downtown, I'd highly recommend checking this location out.

Lived here for a year and and for the cost and amount of space the room we leased for was worth every penny. Would recommend. The only problem I have is that CenturyLink services the building.
