Lovely apartment building with its pros and cons. Pros: 1. smooth move-in process and very responsive management. We moved in back in 2020 from out of state when the building was under old management but honestly the new team is even better in accommodating residents. 2. the maintenance team is the best! we didn’t have a lot of issues but when there were some they would assist us asap. 3. the amenities are great. Beautiful club room/lounge with free coffee and nice rooftop pool. 4. dog friendly management and building!They had doggo competition each month with such nice gifts for the fur babies. We loved it! 5. variety of community events. This is a nice one! They throw pretty nice community parties/events almost every month. We deff enjoyed taking part in it. 6. location is kind of walkable.. you have a small dog park in a walking distance (10-15mins) and a teeny tiny park on the river (few mins away); a few coffee shops nearby, a grocery store (hate Publix but oh well haha) a few great rest/bars in 5 points. There’s a river walk 10mins away and a cute little farmers market under the bridge every weekend. Also art museum is blocks away which is nice too. Downtown 10 mins drive. 7. parking was free I believe and it takes you right to the floor you live on so no need to take elevator which was almost never broken, btw. 8. Pretty inexpensive building. 9. I can actually go on about pros but I don’t have time, so.. Cons: 1. One of the old management members was politely nasty almost all the time. 2. The garage doors were constantly broken. And it’s because of some residents that would speed up while the door is half open.. but that’s another story.. There were break-ins in residents’ cars, I had someone break into my car as well. Police does nothing with their car being on the grounds.. 3. Resident alert 🚨 Idk if this is the culture or something else but some residents would smile you in the face and then let their dogs pee all over the building right ON THE FLOOR right after you’ve walked away (and yeah, I was a spy lol so I knew exactly who was letting their dogs pee and poop on the floors, shame on such people!) Anyways, mostly everyone was very responsive in cleaning up after their pets. 4. Location.. it’s 50/50 and con would be that it’s located in area filled with homeless people and it’s just unpleasant overall walking from the river to 5 points/the bridge/anywhere else.. feels like a little ghetto. But okay I’m spoiled by Manhattans lifestyle so it was a shock for me that there are places with unattractive streets, sidewalks OR EVEN WITH NO SIDEWALKS. Personally, the location was giving me anxiety vibes all the time.. No wholefoods or Trader Joe’s in walking distance, no decent coffee shops (Lack of Jax in general), no healthy smoothie places, etc. you have to drive to get something, ugh. Also this neighborhood is a mix of Georgia and FL with surrounding poor neighborhoods and highway nearby which makes the location so so. If you’re like me relocating from a big city then choose the area wisely. 5. Lack of amenities.. there could be a jacuzzi or a bigger pool, a dog run or children playroom, sauna or steam room but better if both.. 6. very thin walls and ceilings/floors I suppose.. every other morning a beautiful sound of a vacuum at 6:30am from upstairs unit would wake us up. I wonder just why, why someone needs to clean their bedroom at 6:30 in the morning on a Tuesday??! Didn’t file any complaint about that, tho. we had someone from downstairs complaining on our dogs for being noisy. Overall it is a decent building with nice amenities and events, great new management (special shout out to Micheal) and small but polite community in semi residential area. I would definitely recommend moving in here if you’re okay with all of the above.

Best apartment complex in Jacksonville by far. I lived there for ~2 years and no complaints. The leasing office team is great to work with and I enjoyed my time there.

Stayed at this location as an Airbnb several months ago. The rooms and amenities were great, however the pricing was a bit on the expensive side and there were a few extra fees that we weren’t aware of until after we had arrived. Nevertheless, room was clean and we enjoyed our stay!
