Brazos Place

Used to live here on the 12^th floor. It’s a cool building in a great location — right in the middle of the mix.
Pros:
1. lots of storage available to tenants. Ample bike storage and canoe/​kayak space; additional caged areas as well.
2. Recycling of all kinds. Trash chutes for normal trash too.
3. Roof top patio is cool.
4. Valet parking.
5. Good quality appliances and furnishings.
6. Chic modern design of an old building from the 40s.
7. Concierge and security 24 hours at your service.
8. Utilities (water, elect) were usually around $ 50 – 60.
Cons:
1. No interaction with the neighbors.
2. Parking detached garage.
3. Roof top patio has hours and neighbors that love to complain.
4. Lots of complaining tenants.
5. Lack of amenities. Old gym, and roof top terrace… that’s it.
6. I paid $ 1,450 for rent… utilities extra.
7. A/​C barely worked.
8. Only one window that opened.
9. No gas… only electric.
10. Lots of noise from road construction.
11. Had to walk downstairs to bring in guests every time.
12. Thin walls = noise.
All and all, after one year of living there, it was pretty cool. Would I go back? Probably not.
