I lived it for a little over two years (January 2015-May 2017) and it has been one of my favorite places to live. I did just move out, mostly to move away from the noise, traffic, and crowds of the DTC, and get into something a little bigger with central air and heat. However, Arabella really felt like home. I generally had good experiences with my neighbors and staff, everyone was super friendly. It is an older, smaller place, and it has baseboard heaters and a wall unit AC in the living room and they each barely get the job done, but I still generally found it comfortable. A couple of weeks in July and August would get almost unbearable but Id just lay out a small mattress in the living room and sleep under the AC when it got too hot. This might sound really weird coming from a more modern apartment, but honestly I kind of liked the ritual.The property is really beautiful, the advantage of the older place is nice big old trees. Lots of squirrels and rabbits around too makes it feel a lot less like youre living in the city. I really liked the unorthodox view too; you look one way and see trees and grass, and another and you see towering office buildings. The park a block over is gorgeous as well. Almost all the trees change in the fall and there are so many colors (and it had some great pokestops while it lasted). In the winter they decorate the trees up and down the streets with lights, its really charming and I like how much work they put into this area. There were some moredifferent restaurants in the area when I moved in that I miss as they changed out, but I mostly found substitutes, and new ones (like Pokecity) that I never tried but they seemed really popular. Id go over to Landmark a lot, and Bara is one of my favorite sushi restaurants. I liked living near the Microcenter too, maybe a little too much.I never made very many maintenance requests, never really had any problems with anything in my unit thankfully, so I cant really comment on that. The couple of times I did interact with them though they were always really pleasant. I will say they were more prompt than the maintenance at my new place.I almost liken this place to living in a dorm for adults, in (mostly) a good way. Being close quarters to people, I would frequently meet and talk to my neighbors and they were super cool. A lot of them would go to the restaurants and bars around there too. Its mostly young adults who like to go out and do stuff, whether its eat, drink, or outdoorsy stuff, it seemed like a fairly social and mature group of people I was around. Being a much smaller community, it was easier to get to know people and the office staff knew who I was and greeted me pleasantly. Some of the amenities are kind of basic (an old laptop and free printer in the club house, a small gym, recycling in a dumpster at the corner of the property) but I always found it charming how it wasnt trying to be some exclusive upscale place. Not to say this place isnt nice, I think they did a great job on the renovations, the kitchens look great, if a bit small.I really loved living here, and the area is so nice. Ill miss it, I have some great memories from living here and hope anyone else enjoys it as much as I did.
