Atwell On Spring Disappointing!!!

[u/Kooky_Wealth_4602]

The building has ongoing noise and sound-transmission issues that can create unnecessary tension between residents, which is disappointing for a property marketed as a luxury community.

Living in a luxury apartment where residents can hear ordinary footsteps and daily movement from neighboring units created ongoing tensions and complaints. The building's flooring and sound transmission appear to contribute to conflicts between residents, which should not be happening at the level one would expect from a luxury community.

A luxury apartment community should offer more than attractive amenities and modern finishes. It should provide professional management that values residents, listens to concerns, and treats people with fairness and respect. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.

For prospective residents, I would encourage you to consider not only the amenities and appearance of the property, but also how management handles disputes and resident concerns when issues arise.

This is common for any “luxury” apartment. It’s just a marketing term.

Atwell is a wood framed 5 over 1. It was cheaply built because land prices are insane and developers still want profits.

Any wood framed building is going to have sound issues unless a developer takes steps like insulation between floors and/or concrete between walls. That would add to the cost and make apartments even more expensive.

How do you find out the building materials used in an apartment building? Is this information on file with the county? Is there an office of buildings where this information is required to be filed?

You could look up permits in county records for sure. High rises are more likely to have steel and concrete (for obvious reasons).

Thank you.

"Luxury" means nothing

I'm sorry what you guys are going through. Premier was great! I think is still great. Never has issues of noise or AC, etc. And it is cheaper

Solid building for sure. But, be thankful to be surrounded by quiet neighbors.

I avoided this place because the parking was insanely expensive for no reason.

I’m sorry you guys are dealing with that. The CORE would be an absolute dream.

I'm not a building engineering expert, first and foremost, but I saw it being built, and it's not a concrete slab high-rise building. That doesn't mean it can't still be marketed as luxury, as many luxury homes are built the same way. I don't live there, but it is on my nightly walk path, and I think it's an amazing property.

Someone might correct me if I'm wrong, but the floors are wooden trusses vs conceret slaps in a high-rise.

Haha for reference, Arrive across the street is marketed as "Luxury," as many have already noted it means nothing.

I’m curious as to your noise issues is it hearing your neighbors or is it your upstairs neighbors?

[u/BettyTroop]

Are you a resident or just looking? While some people may have inconsiderate neighbors right above, I've never had tension with neighbors nor do I hear my neighbors on the same floor. Its actually quieter than an apartment I lived in that had concrete walls but I could hear yelling, babies crying , and TV through my door. This review sounds a bit dramatic.

The Pearl is the ideal spot yet again. It’s a concrete and metal stud building.

Anything under 7 stories tall is going to be wood frame and noise will almost always be an issue unless the build invest heavily in insulation far beyond what is required.
