This place is the definition of putting lipstick on a pig. As another review said, it looks really nice but the walls are basically cardboard and the floors are paper - you hear everything inside and out. There is always the smell of weed and its also just not a clean neighborhood. There is persistent trash laying around and neighbors are constantly loud.
Lived in 8 apartments in my life and this is my least favorite by a wide margin.

The apartment complex smells like pot, people don’t pic up after their dogs, the dog park trash gets to the point of overflowing before it’s emptied, there was shattered glass dumped in the dog park, raw chicken was on the side walk for days, the gym cleaning wipes are not replaced until you ask them to be replaced, people leave piles of trash outside their front door for days at a time and it leaks on the walkways.

Ascend was built poorly. It’s aesthetically beautiful, but the structure is questionable. They allow our packages to be unsecured all day and night, the storage was never available when I needed it, bug infestations that are not taken seriously, I am doubtful the insulation even meets code. The trash valet has all these requirements and they don’t even pick up the trash sometimes or come earlier than scheduled. The stadium lighting impacts my sleep. I hardly go to get club house coffee but... when I do the machine is never working. The on premise maintenance team is good and my experience with them has been positive.
When I moved in, it took me 3 weeks to clean all the debris and residue left by the construction crew before I could really start to put my things away. The cleaning fee I paid should have been refunded to me.
