1. Parking situation is a bitch. I'd be ok with a small garage and getting in an elevator to my floor, but this garage is huge and you theoretically could walk halfway across the complex and up or down a few flights of stairs to get to your house.

I walked there from my place so I couldn't comment.

2. It's a decidedly a gay complex. I've no problems with this as I used to live in one, but there are a lot of people who would have issues with this. Every person we saw while on our tour was gay. This translates into thumping techno by the pool every sunday afternoon, because it's no secret that gays like to party on sundays (I still always wonder why.)

It's about 60% gay now according to my friend. When I was there in the courtyard on Saturday all the straight people were hanging around the south BBQ area and the homos were on the north end by the hot tub, with a little mixing going on in the center.

3. The trash pick up thing would be infuriating. You have to leave your trash out every night between 6-9 for pick up, in the common halls. What!? yeah you read that right. So every night when I get home from work, or bring guests over, there will be smelly, leaking trash bags up and down the halls. Summertime when it's 100+ degrees and someone throws out their leftover indian food and raw chicken scraps, it will be intolerable.

I didn't see this at all. Everyone uses the trash chutes on each floor.

4. Bathroom is made out of cultured marble in that traditional apartment "almond" color with nasty 90's fixtures. I understand this is an apartment and cost and wear is a thing to take into account, but for the prices they are charging, I'd expect at least a faux stone or something. It looks slummy.
5. Walls and ceilings are completely unfinished both in and out of the units. If you're one of those people, like me, who wants paint or your place to at least feel somewhat warm (and I like modern urban concrete and shit) you're out of luck.

Hmm. I was in the halls and was looking at the place as a good example of value engineering--they made cheap look good. We were in a studio with a fair amount of plaster. It didn't look rough or excessively unfinished to me, and the warmth was easily brought in by the views and windows. Personal preference no doubt.
