Central is a luxury-style apartment with a number of extra amenities, including concierge service, a pool, a pretty decent gym, activities room, so on and so forth. Because of this, rent is a premium. You pay more than the average apartment in the area.
The rent was worth it for some time, but no longer does it seem the case. There has been so much turnover in staff since Central opened, including a year or so with a disastrously lazy property manager who crushed any type of standards for quality. Under his rule, community events were fewer and fewer. Rules were no longer enforced; people frequently smoke cigarettes in the halls, leave smelly poultry innards strewn in the trash room, and violate quiet hours with no resistance. The walls here are incredibly thin thanks to the buildings shoddy construction, so noise is iffy even at best. False fire alarms go off CONSTANTLY, sometimes at 3 am, but management shows no signs of caring. There was a fire here that forced several people to move out of their apartments and had common spaces condemned for months.
COVID has finally exposed Central for what it is. The things we pay for, the amenities, have been unavailable since the start. Fine; you have to comply with county code, I get it. But Central has shown no interest in providing discounts, alternatives to amenities, or really any other incentive for paying the exorbitantly high rent.
I can only recommend living here to you if you do it for a year or less, perhaps if you're waiting for a house to be built and just want somewhere with easy convenience. Even then, I think you could find better nearby. Otherwise, this place is a noisy waste of money.
