Great apartments and beautiful. Here are some pros and cons (I'll start with Cons to end on a positive note)
Cons
Expensive (2 bedrooms/1 bath is $1199/month plus approx. $60 in water/sewer/trash. Then another $50 for electric then another $50 for gas.)
Hard with parking - they offered us covered parking for 1 car and during construction they didn't have parking ready for us for three months. We were still charged us for covered parking even though they didn't even have a spot for us to park during that time.
Quite a bit of dog poop lying around. This is something that the Meadows has tried to maintain, but there is only so much they can do with so many pets around. I don't blame the Meadows, just something to consider.
The website they use for paying rent is pretty confusing if you selected to do the month free broken up by each month. You'll have to make sure that you have a pro-rated negative balance in your rent account. And they don't tell you how much you owe until the day before. The staff is great, so if you have questions how much to pay in rent you can always call them up. Note: If you pay online you have to pay $3 every month of a convenience fee, so I just go to the office with a paper check to save a couple of bucks.
Pros
The pros definitely outweigh the cons
Beautiful, new apartments
Friendly neighbors (of course you need to do you part to get to know them)
You can't hear the other tenants in your apartment and they can't hear you. I suppose you can, but the apartments were built in a way to be sound resistant to the other apartments.
Location. Location. Location. Close to frontrunner, AF state street, and the freeway, yet still not congested and you can barely hear the frontrunner passing by (no horn zone). Takes me less than 5 minutes to walk to the frontrunner platform. I can run it in less than 2 minutes when I'm running late ;)
The staff is great.
Gym, future pool, other amenities
The bathtub is the largest bathtub in a place I've ever lived in.
In summary, if you can afford it, I highly recommend this place.
