I loved the first few months of living here, however after the flood in my apartment from the complex's washer and dryer system (that was one of mulitple while i lived here) everything went downhill. Management changed, the building was disgusting and unruly residents costed us access to common rooms that we ALL pay outrageously for. Dog urine and feces contaminated the entire building. The parking deck was sometimes unusable, and valet trash was hardly ever taken out.

Negative 500!!!! This complex is probably the worst complex in all of Birmingham. The front office is absolutely horrible. They don’t pay bills on time so you occasionally get locked out of the parking deck. If other residents don’t pickup after themselves, they will shut down the whole apartment complexes amenities, which isn’t fair. The valet trash sucks. Multiple apartments have flooded here because the washers disconnect from wifi. This place is too expensive in the heart of downtown to have so many problems. The only good thing about the place is the one maintenance man and the views. Otherwise… NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. Oh and almost forgot. After we moved out they charged me $150 for hanging up a TV. Ridiculous.

A classic old building renovated into modern apartments. Great security. The only down side is very limited street parking for guests.

Pretty apartments..Great location. But where my apt is located it can be loud with the street racing. I'm annoyed that we have to pay extra for the peleton and rowing machine. It's like a waste but that's me. Not sure what's going on but some of the tenants are nasty..by that I mean someone vomited in the elevator over the weekend (a few months ago) and didn't clean it. Someone left dog poop at the elevator and the parking deck. The parking deck entrance looks a mess sometime in the hallway. Not sure what they can do about it.. but the mgt is usually responsive.
