Level Apartments

[Urbanized]

It's better to look at during the night time than it is during the day. Lots of lights and people bustling about on the streets. I wouldn't mind having that view, but would probably personally prefer the skyline view.

I took a tour of Level today and was very impressed. The granite countertops are huge, and the wood floors look nice. I really like the layout and will be reserving my unit soon. I'll be graduating from OU on May 12th, so I'm looking at the Phase-II move-in which is on May 15th. Unfortunately the phase-II apartments are only north or east facing, since I was hoping for one with a view of downtown and Aloft. But I'll be getting a 1-bedroom with a view of the Brownstones to the north, which I think will be well worth $850 a month. Can't wait!

I'm kinda surprised all the Phase II units aren't spoken for already. Good luck with your unit, I'll be on the opposite side of you come May 1st.

What's the square footage on the $850 unit? I'm hoping there are some 1bd units left for phase 2.

I will say that I'm loving all of the budding, new urbanites that are able to move downtown now because of this project.

[Sean]

I forgot to ask about square footage but it's pretty spacious, especially the living area. And as of right now it seems like there are plenty of 1-bedrooms left for phase-II.

I wanna say the square footage for the $850 units is 631, sounds small, but Sean is right it seems very spacious for 631.

Corey, if you or Sean have a direct number to the sales team at Level would you mind PM'ing it to me? I submitted the pre-leasing app and I've left messages but I haven't heard back from them yet.

Just curious, how many other people in this thread are actually gonna be living at Level?

I recently went and toured the property and and unfortunately was pretty let down. I had been excited about the possibility of moving in for a while and was just waiting to check them out to sign the lease. When we toured I was just really under whelmed by the apts, the kitchen wasn't what i was hoping for, but the main kicker for me that made me decide against moving in was the size of the rooms. I looked at every 2 bedroom floor plan and every single one of the rooms reminded me of my college apts. I would have barely been able to move my bed in there. what a bummer.

$71,000 building permit for Native Roots.

Must be turning the shell over for the finish work.

One of the adjustments that is necessary when switching to an urban lifestyle is the size of the living space (unless you have a lot of money). Unlike a suburban home which has space to fulfill every Human need and want (including gift wrapping rooms and lavish home theaters), urban 'homes' only fulfill the basic needs (sleep, light cooking, a bathroom, and a place to store 14 days’ worth of clothing). You are supposed to use the public space around you for dinning, recreation, entertainment, etc... It isn't a lifestyle for everyone. Maybe you should look into SOSA where you can get a house but still have easy access to urban amenities.

Very accurate portrayal of the urban experience

I just went throught this very discussion with my wife. We finally found a place we can agree to move to and started looking at housing size. She was concerned there wouldn't be enough cabinet space to hold thing like the bread maker. I told we aren't supposed to have a bread maker. If we want fresh bread we are supposed to go down to the corner bakery and buy it. Likewise with a cake. We go buy a cake from the bakery, not make it out of a box.

So you will be moving to Level?

If you don't mind sharing where do you agree to look? I know you have been trying to make a move for quite some time.

I don't think Kerry is moving into LEVEL.

We had a complete change in direction (Florida being an income tax free state played a large part in it). We are now looking to move to Fernandina Beach, FL. It is a very compact community that will allow us to walk or ride bikes everywhere we want to go and is very pedestrian oriented around its downtown. While it doesn't have big city amenities (no sports teams) it does have all fundamentals in place like restaurants, retail, civic activities, etc. I attended one of their sustainability meeting last week and I could fit in very well with the group as they are missing a voice for urban sustainability. I would still prefer downtown OKC but when you are married it isn't always what one person wants. Of course,we still have a house that we need sell so any move is still a ways away.

To Spartan's comment - if it was just me I would have no problem living in Level. My material needs are pretty low. I would rather sit at a wrought iron patio table along a sidewalk than at an 8 person dinning room table.

If I lived in Jacksonville, I'd move to Springfield. It's certainly bikeable and there are a few restaurants, coffee shops and bars within walking distance. It's not far from downtown and maybe someday they'll get that walking trail to downtown done. There are a fair number of parks. Prices are very affordable and you can get decent space with a tiny yard and garage. It's an old-fashioned equivalent of what housing in SoSA may someday be like, with comparable distances.

Betts, if you get back to Jax checkout San Marco and Little Five Points.

I'll be in Jax in the fall. We go to San Marco and Little Five regularly and I like them. But since my son lives in Springfield I have to be booster.
