Since West End has requested my review, more than once, here goes..
We moved in back in June. We’ve enjoyed the apartment itself and the common areas are nice and fairly well maintained. The events are a nice touch and the pricing is fair. The staff is cool.
However. We’ve had our share of issues..
1) We smell weed throughout the hallways on a regular basis. Our upstairs neighbors smoke it and literally blow it out the window so it’s not unusual for it to be heavy and lingering as we come and go from our apartment. The office claims they have a ‘no smoking’ policy, but this is clearly not enforced.
2) An even bigger pet peeve though is the noise. Again, these same upstairs neighbors like to play their bass at random times (day and night), which we can hear LOUD and CLEAR in our unit. I have POTS so don’t sleep great as is and have been woken up at 2-3am by their nonsense on more than one occasion. I have video footage from one of the times it happened. We also hear very heavy stomping on a regular basis coming from their unit, which again, has interfered with my sleep and work as I work from home.
I have complained to the office at least twice about these two issues and have left a note on their door as well.
3.) When we moved in, one of the residents had a video camera affixed to their patio and appeared to specifically film women at the pool. It would pan and follow them. Very creepy. After we reported this incident, we noticed the camera no longer pans, but it’s still up.
I’ve lived in apartments before and never recall having issues of this nature.
Unless we see changes, we will in all likelihood move as soon as our lease is up, with the dealbreaker being the second point.
Update 1/29/26: It’s 4:30 am as I write this. I have been woken up once again by these same inconsiderate neighbors despite using heavy duty earplugs. It sounds like they are using tools of some sort this time. There’s no point calling a safety officer as the length (and type) of these sounds are highly unpredictable both day and night. Basically psychological torture and appears as though they never sleep. My husband and I need it as we, like most, have to work for a living. Annoying x1,000. West End should invest in better soundproofing since they won’t enforce address noise pollution and yahoo behavior.
