Pros and Cons from a resident that's lived here a little over 6 months (with my adorable best friend)
1. The Bluffs at Fairway Hills (pictures 1-5) *most affordable
1 bed $1642
2 bed $1860
Pros: you do not pay for water/sewage/parking (so additional monthly costs are gas/electric and wifi; cheapest apartments), large windows with lots of light, pet friendly ($350 deposit, $25/mo pet rent), large closets/storage space, and I have never in my many years of renting seen maintenance requests resolved so quickly.
Cons: shared laundry room & they charge you per load, small water heaters (cannot fill bath full of warm water), and the grounds are not well landscaped like other complexes.
*** If you move in, use my name (Cassidy Droubay) to help me save on rent :D
I've also done research on four other complexes on Columbia Road to help you compare. We have several communities of townhomes/condominiums on this street as well (Heatherfield, Forsgate Condo, Dorsey's Search Townhouse/Condo, and The Greens at Fairway).
