Property Ratings at The Felix
I recently moved into Felix and so far, I’ve been very happy with the experience. The apartment layout is well-designed and the overall atmosphere feels welcoming and comfortable. Five stars for two gorgeous staff I worked with. I want to give a special shout-out to Angela—she has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She’s friendly, patient, and incredibly responsive. I had to make several changes to my lease during the process, and she handled everything efficiently without ever making me feel like a bother. Her professionalism and kindness really made a difference. I’d also like to thank Katie from the management team. Before my move-in, there were some unexpected issues that caused a lot of stress. Katie stepped in right away, actively communicated with me, and helped find a solution. Eventually, she arranged for a unit change, which resolved the problem. I truly appreciate her dedication and problem-solving attitude. There are just a few things I’d like to mention as suggestions. It would be more practical if the bathroom floors were tiled rather than using the same laminate flooring as in the living room—tiles help keep the space cleaner and drier. Also, replacing the drywall with tiles behind the kitchen stove would make cleaning much easier, especially when dealing with cooking splatters. Lastly, while my overall living experience has been positive, I’m currently facing issues with the air conditioning and hot water not working, which are still pending repair. I’m hopeful these can be resolved soon, and I look forward to continuing to enjoy living here.
