I have lived here for a few months now. Overall, it is a great place to live. Gorgeous design, beautiful amenities and the overall feeling of luxe. However, there are a few things that have been very disappointing that I wish someone had told me before I moved in.
1. The pool hours are 11AM-7PM 7 days a week, Memorial Day - Mid September. To me, this is very limited, especially since it stays light out until almost 9 pm most of the pool season. There must be a lifeguard on duty to go in the pool. This is frustrating. The pool is lit up at night and looks very inviting to swim in; I wish they would slap a "swim at your own risk" sign up and let grown adults take a dip in the 4ft pool past 7 pm.
2. While on the subject of the pool, they had some issues with the temperature. It was the temperature of a hot tub for the last month of it being open, rendering it next to useless for anyone who wanted to cool off. Prior than that, I will say, the temperature was always perfect - not too cold (I could get right in, which is saying a lot!), but still refreshing.
4. Also, the "wet bar" by the pool is not a wet bar at all. It's where the lifeguard sits. No food or drink allowed in the pool area. Big bummer.
3. All those outdoor TVs you saw on the tour? Forget them. They don't work. So much so that the concierge didn't even know they existed when I asked for the remote for one. They said "Sorry we can't have outdoor TVs due to the weather". So what are they there for?!
5. Don't count on the indoor TVs either. The first time I asked for the remote to the large media room screen, I was told it was lost and Greystar had no plans to replace it. Mind you these things cost all of $10. Then when I actually did get a remote to use, the TV was basically useless. All it did was turn on. No channels, no ability to connect your phone to bluetooth or airplay, no ability to log in to any streaming services. All it did was turn on to a logo screen and that was all we could do.
6. No light in the family room or bedroom in my unit
7. Awful - I mean awful - dryer. The clothes come out of the washer 90% dry, the average dryer cycle is 2.5. hours, and the clothes still come out damp. Even with a load of 2 T shirts. Takes 2-3 2.5hr cycles to dry a small amount of clothes that were basically dry to begin with. Would be faster to air dry. Maintenance had the manufacturer come out and they said nothing was wrong with it. So that's just how these dryers operate. Very disappointing.
Overall, these are my biggest complaints. Not huge issues in the grand scheme of things, just things I wish I knew before moving in. Hope this helps. read more
