Alright, let’s talk about this place, 9750 on the park. Heard the name floating around, saw some pictures online, looked decent enough, so I figured, why not check it out myself?
Getting There and First Look
So, I drove over there last Tuesday afternoon. Finding the actual entrance wasn’t super obvious, gotta admit. GPS kinda dumped me nearby, had to circle once. Finally spotted the sign, tucked away a bit. First impression? Looked… okay. Newer building, clean lines, trying a bit hard with the modern look, maybe?
The ‘on the park’ part seemed true enough. There was definitely a stretch of green space right next to it. Not a huge park, more like a decently sized city park, which is pretty nice, I guess. Gave it a slightly better vibe than just being surrounded by concrete.
Walking Around Inside
Met up with the person showing the place. Standard stuff, you know. Walked me through the lobby, which was clean, kinda generic. Then we went up to see one of the units. Here’s what I noticed:
- The Layout: It was practical. Nothing fancy, but the space was used alright. Didn’t feel cramped, didn’t feel huge either. Just… functional.
- The Finishes: Looked new, sure. But felt a bit cheap up close. You know, the kind of stuff that looks good day one but you wonder how it’ll hold up after a year or two of actual living. Countertops were that standard composite stuff, floors were laminate that looked like wood.
- The View: The unit I saw faced the park. That was probably the best part. Having that green view was definitely a plus. Made the smallish balcony feel a bit better.
The Vibe and The Catch
Walked around the grounds a little bit afterwards. Saw the amenities area. Pool looked okay, gym was small but had the basics. Everything felt very… standard. Like they checked all the boxes for a modern apartment complex, but without much personality, you know?
Then came the price talk. And yeah, that’s where it got less appealing. For what they were offering, the price felt steep. You’re paying a premium for that ‘new’ feeling and the park-adjacent location, seems like. I compared it to what I’m paying now, and even considering the location difference, it felt like a stretch.
It reminded me a bit of when I was looking for my first car years ago. Everything looked shiny on the lot, salesman talking it up, but when you looked closer, you saw where they cut corners. This place, 9750 on the park, felt a bit like that. Nice surface, but the value proposition wasn’t quite there for me.
Final Thoughts
So, I left. Didn’t put in an application or anything. It wasn’t bad, not at all. If you really value being right next to that specific park and want something new, maybe it works for you. But for me, the overall package just didn’t justify the cost they were asking. It’s just another apartment building, really. The ‘on the park’ name adds a bit of appeal, but you gotta look past the name and see what you’re actually getting for your money. For me, it wasn’t the right fit. Moving on with the search.
