There are tile and carpeted floors in my apt. I live down stairs, so the main part of our place is a concrete flooring. You have to really be care ful about dropping anything, because it shatters it and goes every where. Our bedrooms are carpeted. Upstairs apts. are carpeted, except for the kitchen, which is linoleum. They picked too light of a color carpeting. It shows all of the stains. They should choose a darker color that does not show the stains. You can hear some of the noise upstairs. My young neighbor runs around, but it does not bother me. He is 5, what do you expect? They did not really insulate these well. We can hear noise from neighboring apartments as well. All in all, it’s an okay community. We wanted a downstairs. We almost got an upstairs.
