They have a community "media room" that would be perfect for client screenings, and the den is right off the living room, making it a perfect office.

Not a bad area at all. But there might be a lot of college students due to the proximity to OCC.

Something that was recommended to me was to drive around/through the complexes you are looking at after the leasing office is closed (Fri and Saturday nights/Saturday afternoon) to see how people really are. Also good to drive around at night to see the parking situation.

A good site to look at is apartmentratings.com. Yes, it is mainly negative reviews but you can get a feel for the community as well. Is everyone complaining about bugs? Or are they just griping that the management gives them a hard time for paying rent late and partying all the time.
