It's like living in a premium hotel. Although there are other places in the area at comparable prices, I'd be hard pressed to find a place that offered all the amenities, plus attention to detail and a level of cleanliness that is quite impressive. The staff at Lincoln Properties are thoughtful and communicative.
I would tell them that I love my apartment, the building, the grounds and the staff is great. I would also tell them that I seldom hear any noise from neighbors (just the occasional footfalls from upstairs neighbors) which lends to a feeling of privacy and personal space. I would tell them that I love living here and am proud to have people over. However, I would also tell them that there are an inordinate number of fire alarms with calls to evacuate - usually in the middle of the night. This week there have been two, once at about 2:50am on a VERY cold night and tonight shortly after 9:30pm. Since moving in at the end of August last year there have been 4-5 alarms. None of them were the result of a fire fortunately, but I can't help but wonder if the sprinkler pipes are faulty which makes me wonder what good they would be if there really was a fire. I don't feel safe and at the moment am on edge wondering when the next alarm will come. My mother has a heart condition and spinal stenosis which makes the evacuation procedure, walking down numerous flights of stairs and standing out in the cold, very painful and difficult for her, not to mention potentially harmful. We certainly won't ignore the alarms just in case it ever is a fire, but knowing that she ends up in pain needlessly is more than frustrating. A month ago I would have had nothing but glowing remarks about life here at Merritt River, but at the moment, that is certainly not the case. I am in the Property Management business so I know things happen beyond our control but it is because I have experience in this industry that I also know that when a problem becomes chronic, it's time to do more than just put a band aid on the problem. I have higher expectations from a property as nice and new as this one and am seriously disappointed and discouraged. THAT is what I will share when asked until I see a change.
Comfy, well maintained building. Some things are inconvenient -- namely the gross size of the building. Having to bring recyclables literally two city blocks to dispose is just not convenient. Although the building is relatively modern, some of the original fixtures and appliances are starting to show some wear and tear. The apartments are relatively quiet. The gym is small, but nice. Parking is very convenient. Accessible to major roads.
Very friendly staff, clean and nice apt. Excellent location.
Its like living at a hotel. The apartment is a beautiful space and all the amenities make my living experience excellent. The staff is always available for help, and they do it with a smile.
It's like living in a hotel, truly the ammenities are wonderful. I moved in the fall, so the experience will only get better as weather allows me to use the outdoor facilities like the pool and patio area.
It's a clean and safe location in the most upmarket part of Norwalk. The building lies within an office community, with many employees of the corporations living on premises. Most residents don't seem to be very long term, and living here can be kind of a sterile, corporate experience, although staff are exceedingly nice and generally on top of any maintenance issues right away.
I would say it's peaceful and relaxing. When I'm home I get to tune out the rest of the world. I would also tell them that it's beautiful inside and out here at Merritt River and I feel pampered just living here.
I love it!!!! Definitely worth the money.
That the quality of the apartments is very good however the layouts might not be. Noise level on the West side is very high with both trains and Glover. Staff is good. A little expensive.
