I can no longer recommend living here.
I can no longer recommend living here. I have lived at West 8th for almost a year and had zero problems. I was very happy with the complex and living in building 2. However, recently there has been a change in management along with a new parking system that has made things significantly more difficult. Prior to this change, we never had any issues finding parking close to our apartment. Additionally, this is now the third management change since I moved in. For context, I am paying over $3,000 per month to live here, and this situation is far below what I would expect at that price point. The new system appears to have been poorly implemented. From what I understand, some 2-bedroom apartments with four occupants were allowed four parking spaces, when they should have been limited to two. Meanwhile, in my case, I should have been eligible for two spots but was initially given none. I reached out to both Parkade (the third-party parking service) and the leasing office. The only solution offered was a spot located a significant distance from my apartment, and this was only after I was asked to pay extra for garage parking, which I declined. Additionally, my wife is six months pregnant and making her walk long distances with groceries and daily items due to a mismanaged parking rollout is unacceptable. I don’t expect that this situation will improve once we have a newborn to manage. Up until about two weeks ago, I would have recommended this complex without hesitation. Unfortunately, I can no longer do so and would advise others to look elsewhere if they have the option.
