Enjoy living here. There are kind people and I have a great sized, newly furnished apartment
The quality of shops, restaurants and bars in my area is below average. My surrounding area is up and coming and some of it looks broken down. I am not too happy about that. However, there are perks to my area such as, Bartlett Park, and a nice cafe located across the way at the end of the park. Transportation is within walking distance if you don’t mind walking 7-15 minutes to bus or train. Overall, I would like there to be more stores and restaurants close by and the surrounding area needs to be cleaned up and rebuilt. It is an eye sore.
Please review your development:
Personally, I feel that Fizzy Poplar can be updated quite a bit. The carpets in the hallways are dirty and have an odor to them, the walls and doors need to be repainted, and air fresheners should be distributed throughout the halls and lobby. I enjoy that there is a residence gym located in our complex and it is just about 2 minutes walking distance from our lobby. However, this place would benefit from a concierge at the front desk. Not just at the Moro house location. Maintenance is good and comes when needed in a timely manner. It was a disappointment to learn that there was no co-working space or lounge area at this location. Overall, it could be cleaner and could use a few updates and additions.

I wish I had none more about the surrounding area (condition of living, lack of shops/restaurants, broken down housing).
