DISCLAIMER: I lived here approximately a year ago. NOISE TOLERANCE: A positive of these apartments is that many of the apartments don't share walls with each other (I stayed in a unit on the second floor, edge of the building, facing the parking lot and the only unit connected to mine was the one above me since my ceiling was their floor). PARKING: I will say this- I lived there for more than two years and there were about 15-20 times that someone was parked in my parking spot and when I called management, not once did she ever do anything about it. She says she will, and sounds very convincing, too. And even though there are four huge signs all around the parking lot that parking violators WILL BE TOWED, she never once made that happen. Anyway, the units on the third floor get the car ports (and the third floor units also have vaulted ceilings!!). Everyone else parks in assigned spots the parking lot. SECURITY: There are no cameras, and doors are sometimes propped open (very seldom, though). CLEANLINESS/APPEARANCE: Hallways don't smell great, and when apartments are cleaned for new owners, they don't hire a service. It's just the landlord and her 10-year-old daughter wiping the apartment down with rags and some soap, even though they take money from your security deposit as a "cleaning fee" when you move out. PRICE: I'm sure the prices vary, but we paid approximately $1200/month for a two bedroom, one bathroom, 725 sq. ft. unit with outdated appliances/appearance (the counter tops are orange plastic and the stoves are so old that their fans don't work, and the refrigerators leak and constantly have to be fixed) and one assigned parking spot. Just for perspective's sake: as of today, I pay $1160/month for a detached apartment (all apartments don't touch), two bedrooms, two full baths (one of which is in the master bedroom), 1025 sq. ft. with a 6-car driveway for each unit and all new appliances/appearance, plus REAL granite counter tops. Needless to say, there are better places to live in Anchorage that give you way more for what you pay for.
