Footprint Apartments

My experience in the Footprint managed property on Avalon Way, Avalon I. I wouldn’t recommend moving into one of their properties. Think of this place as a college dorm. Gross common kitchen, disgusting slime in the laundry machines, doors slammed at all hours, loud neighbors (their soundproofing is theoretical at best). Basically, it’s living in a community of transitioning folks who have minimal investment in taking care of the common spaces.
They advertise themselves as eco-​friendly. What that actually means is that written into the lease is a requirement that you are not supposed to plug in a extra lamp… a fans and definitely no an A/​C. In this summer of high heat expect to have a unit in the upper 80s-​90s when you return, it’s awful. It feels inhumane. The units feel like little grey cells… oh – one extra tidbit – the locals like to hang out on the front steps and leave the trash from their ⁷⁄₁₁ meals behind… Big Bites and 40’s OH yeah!!!
An extra treat is the noise. There is construction Mon-​Sat 8a-​8p everyday on the next micro-​units popping up, the neighboring ⁷⁄₁₁ can be reliable for loud music and shouting patrons all day, but particularly on Fri & Sat nights during the after-​leaving-​the-​club-​hours 1−3am. (particularly bad in summer when you have to have the windows open). And finally this is a prime route for emergency traffic – lots of sirens.
If you can sleep through anything, don’t mind living in Hades-​like temps, have a tiny amount of stuff, and plan on eating out for all your meals… this could be your dream home.
