The property is very nice and the apartments are mostly nice. The pool is a nice feature, but it isn't designed for swimming, more for just relaxing. Free storage and parking spot is pretty awesome. Underground parking is nice, but very tight. Very hard for larger vehicles to get in and park. The bedrooms do not have lights in them, so you'll need additional light fixtures.
That being said - The management here is the reason for the 2 stars. A lot of this is with the parent company Bigos Management. Over the time of living here, management has been slowly removing all the "amenities included with rent" and freedom to live in the apartment as you were promised. There are far more "inspections" than I've ever had living in other apartment complexes. A friend of ours who rents at another Bigos complex in the same area does not have the same number of inspections. The baseboard heating is trash here. Coldest apartment I've ever been in when heat is set to max during winter. They do the absolute bare minimum on package receiving, although I do know that this isn't 100% their fault. Your packages will often be left in common areas or even outside the locked door, so anyone could steal your packages - and we did have this happen. I'd suggest getting a PO Box if you purchase a lot online for delivery. Lease is treated as ironclad so be sure to note all the dates you need to have stuff done or when your lease ends as they won't budge on anything.
As for fellow tenants, the complex offers carts for tenants, but everyone hogs them so don't rely on being to use them. Tenants also just drop garbage and recycling outside of the garbage dumpsters and so it won't be removed and it all just sits. Our floor reeked of pot on a daily basis - not against the use, but the smell is awful. However, when talking/meeting with other tenants has been great.
The rent here is also now on par of paying a mortgage. If you can afford to rent here, then I suggest you look into buying a home instead.
Utility costs that you pay for don't get out of hand, so nothing is over-using resources that you pay for - minus AC units, but this expected.

It is a very nice apartment complex with many restaurants and grocery stores near by. The rent ranges from $1300-$1500 (which might change). The garage, heat, storage, water, trash and storage unit is included in the rent. Extra garage space is $40/month. Maintenance requests are usually done in same day. Very affordable place in a nice neighborhood and nice management.
I gave it a 4 because the building is a little old and the creaking noise, if you live on the bottom floors, tend to get a little loud at times.
