The building is beautiful, the residents overwhelmingly positive and creative people and the value if easily the best for the amenities in the city.

generally speaking a free spirited artistic community that thrives on input, change and innovation.

It is a nice complex with knowledgable staff who are attentive to your needs. There are always activities and events to participate in. The apartments themselves are modern, clean, new, and nicely renovated. The noise is a bit of an issue. You have to be able to deal with always hearing your neighbors, below, above and beside you. Other then that, great place to live. Minus the attitudes of some of the tenants, which is not the facilities fault.

It is a very clean place to live. The maintenance on the building is impeccable. I enjoy the location because there is so much nearby. The front office staff is very responsive to questions or concerns. Sometimes, noise is heard from other apartments. Mostly we hear a young child crying early in the morning, but there are no ridiculous parties held.

I have a beautiful new space to live with my daughter and to work in my studio.

Its great...just wished we had a non paying parking on site, and also a playground for kids. I love the lights at night and fountain.

The building and the grounds are fantastic, featuring exposed (original) brick, hardwood floors, central heating and A/C, a community room with wifi, laundry facilities and a fitness center, and are in a redevelopment district that promises further improvements in the neighborhood. Appleton is within easy walking distance of many area businesses and services, including a train station, several highly-regarded restaurants, a performance center, a minor league baseball park, a host of museums and art galleries, and two colleges. It is also very close to major arteries such as I-495, I-95 and I-93. The building and its inner workings were built with energy-efficiency in mind and it shows in our utility bill. Since Appleton is for artists, it does feel like a ready-made community, although the occupants' backgrounds are as diverse as you would find in any non-artist community. The building manager and other staff are very accessible and friendly. It is disappointing that the building does not have its own parking lot, but there is an affordable city-owned lot one street away. On the downside, the building is lacking a safe, fireproof disposal system for chemicals such as turpentine. Also, the units that have garage doors require a sacrifice in personal privacy as the doors are all glass.
