Great living space in a very walkable area. Mark, the sr. portfolio manager, has great communication and was very accommodating during the move-in process!

I moved into Plaid Apartments three weeks ago and have found the overall experience very pleasant. What I appreciate: - Location: Despite being just two blocks from Broadway, the area is surprisingly quiet at night. Everything from parks and restaurants to bus stops, the link rail, and supermarkets is within a 20-minute walk, allowing for both convenience and a peaceful night's sleep. - Modern Amenities: The building is brand new, which means all the appliances, including the microwave and washer/dryer, are up-to-date. Although there was an issue with the dryer, the management was very responsive. Property managers Mark and Tonya are professional and attentive, significantly enhancing my moving and living experience. - View: My south-facing unit offers delightful sunshine and views of the community park next door when it's sunny. Room for improvement: - The fitness center is quite small. I am currently looking for a nearby commercial gym that is affordable and not too far away. If any neighbors have suggestions, please share them!! Thank you
