We've been here for 6 months in a townhouse apartment in the older section. We chose Southside because we can have our pets. The staff have been great- and the maintenance people have been prompt in taking care of a few problems that have cropped up due to the age of the unit. We took this townhouse sight unseen (moved from New England), and have been pretty happy with it. Love that it has pools and gyms with newer equipment. I deducted a star because our kitchen cabinetry needs serious updating (reminds me of an apartment I had in '75) and, as it turns out, the units in this building are not smoke-free, so we can't open our windows or enjoy our balcony when the next door neighbors are outside smoking up a storm. I agree with the previous reviewer about the pet waste- there are many pet waste stations, and the bag dispensers are filled frequently, but there are many owners who refuse to pick up after their dogs. I've watched them stand with dogs within several feet of the waste station, and not pick up the waste. I highly recommend carrying a flashlight if you are walking around those areas at night ! All things considered, we're glad we chose Southside :)
