The Palisades

The Palisades is a wonderful place to stay. Super cozy apartments. Lovely garden for children to play.
It has a fantastic zym and pool.

The Palisades, my humble abode for one and a half years, teeters between 3 and 4 stars although after writing the entire review, I feel like 4 is more accurate.
The good first. After looking at other apartments in the area, I realised that the apartments here are pretty big, especially where the living room and kitchen are concerned. The rent is around $ 1500 for a 2 bed, 2 bath + 1 parking spot which is pretty standard around here. The complex itself, though bland looking, is well maintained and clean. Just next door to the Palisades is a duck pond so you often see cute little Mallards waddling around. I was very pleased with the management — they were always super nice and efficient at getting things done, especially with repairs. I once had some stove issues on a Sunday morning and even though none of the repair staff were around, the office clerk that day was kind enough to come over to help me. They additionally made our move out experience really smooth — allowed us to move out a day late at the regular daily rent and billed us pretty reasonably for post move-​out cleaning (certainly none of the exorbitant cleaning charges I have seen other housing complexes apply).
So what would have made it a 5-​star experience? Perhaps a better house layout — while the master bedroom is really spacious, the second bedroom is absolutely tiny, you can’t fit anything but a bed in there! I also wish they had parking sheds for resident parking — open parking means frozen windshields every morning in winter. And finally, even though they advertise a gym and swimming pool, these close at 6pm everyday which makes it pretty impossible for a working individual to actually use these facilities.
Overall, I certainly recommend The Palisades to anyone reading this review!

very poor management, the parking is a MESS! they told you you have assigned parking when signing the contract but NO! you have to beat other people for one stop constantly and last night i almost had to park outside the complex which is ridiculous and my roommate almost spent the night else where just because coming back home after 5pm, you are DONE with parking spots!
The rent is really high too, much higher than the surrounding area, luckily i was there temporarily, moving out soon! Can’t wait!
