I absolutely love my apartment. The rent is pretty pricey, but that is to be expected with a one-bedroom apartment in a 5-year-old apartment complex. Although on the more expensive side, it is not abnormal for similar one-bedroom apartments in the area. At The Preserve, you have the option of renting a unit in one of two buildings. The first is the old Coca-Cola distribution plant which was completely renovated in 2015, featuring more industrial, loft-style apartments. My unit is in the second building which was built from scratch in 2015. These units are less industrial and have more natural light. My unit is very spacious with huge windows, updated appliances, a walk-in closet,

and a huge bathroom. Another feature that is unique to The Preserve is that each unit, including first floor units, have a porch or balcony. Residents have access to so many amenities located on the premises, including a gym (with pelotons!), a pool, a community room, grills, a business center, and a rooftop hangout spot. It is located right in the middle of Scott's Addition, across the street from Veil Brewery and walking distance to many other restaurants and breweries, while still only being a 10-15 minute drive to campus. The property management staff is SO attentive. The building is kept very clean and in proper working order. My maintenance requests are always completed the day of, typically within an hour or two of submitting the request. The building is also always up to date on pest control. Since I have lived here in August, my apartment has been sprayed for preventative treatment (included in rent, at your convenience) twice. I always feel very safe in my apartment, even living alone on the first floor. The preserve is a pet friendly apartment complex, but never loud. Most residents are young professionals or grad students, which creates a fun and vibrant atmosphere; however, everyone is respectful of others. There are lots of different floor plans to choose from, including 2-bedroom apartments. Additionally, there are different lease-term options, starting with 9 months, which is incredibly convenient for law students who don't know what their summer plans are. I 100% feel like I am getting my money's worth at The Preserve and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
