Hanover North Studios

Hanover North Studios offers studio units for $800/month [Fall 2008] and includes private parking for residents, a locked-entrace to the building (residents are given a numeric code and can let in visitors), a laundry room inside the complex, on the second floor. Suds Apartments (now "The Laundry Lounge") is located directly below the apartments and provides another easy laundry option. Kitchens and baths were remodeled as recently as 2004.

I didn't like the inside of the apartment, but that's because I'm picky. The manager was very nice (I looked at a studio) and seemed to be on top of maintenance issues. This is the same redheaded lady mentioned before. Private patios, good location, nice manager. Not the studio for me, but definitely worth looking at.

2008-11-10 13:46:24   I lived here for several years; it had some really unique advantages (and disadvantages). First of all, Trish - who also manages Hanover Place Apts. across the street, as of November 2008 - is super-nice and helpful. Also advantageous: the apartments are contained entirely within a building: basically, the 2nd story of the building which holds Suds Laudromat. This can make things like getting a pizza delivered complicated, but you figure it out eventually! Entrance is from the first floor, on the other side of the building from Suds. If you don't live there, you really don't know what it is. However, it has its own parking lot, and you need a numeric code to enter the building. If you're visiting, you dial (I believe) the number for the tenant's apartment. Then they come down and let you in. However, it's easier to contact them via your cell phone. I felt pretty safe while living here. HUGE ADVANTAGES: 1)There is an elevator!

2)Close-as-possible to Albertson's/Save-Mart supermarket


3)Fairly large for a studio, and since the apartments were built for seniors in wheelchairs, the kitchen, for


instance, is galley-like, in that you walk through it, and it's not cramped up against the wall like in most apts.


4)Because you need a code to get into the actual building, no random solicitors will knock on your door


5)It has its own pay-by-coin laundry room on the same floor as all of the apts: very convenient


6)Might be good if you're using a wheelchair, since it was built for such users - you would simply use the elevator to access the second floor

DISADVANTAGES: 1)Despite several exceptions, you prob. won't have a balcony to yourself - the main balcony extends all the way around the building; most people don't "hang out" on the balcony — and most leave the heavy curtains shut most of the time, since if they are open anyone can see inside your whole apartment (this would mostly apply to maintenance workers, since entrance to the building is restricted)

2)No pets allowed: this info is possibly outdated, but I moved across the street to Hanover Place apts. because I wanted a cat


3)Again, because the apts. were made for people in wheelchairs, the bathroom has an industrial feel and reminds you of one in a hospital; itis mostly one huge shower, complete with a fold-down seat built into the wall. No bathtub or linen closet.


4)Getting something delivered (like a package) can be a hassle, but usually the package just ends up getting sent to the Hanover Place Apt. front office if no one is home.
