During the summer of 2007, after shopping around and doing our homework, we were thoroughly impressed with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.westatnorth.com\/\">The West<\/a>. \u00a0The West has 8-inch concrete in the floor and ceiling with double walls between units and the heated pool is on the rooftop. There are no units overlooking the pool so you don\u2019t have people watching you from above and you don\u2019t have to worry about disturbing your neighbors when cranking the tunes and getting rowdy. So the pool is open 24\/7! \u00a0The Community Room and the Fitness Center, also located on the rooftop, has free Wi\/Fi (great for working poolside-lol!), tv, music, full kitchen, and a gas grill-great place to hang out and have social events.<\/p>\n<p>The West has great floor plans-good design and utilization of space. \u00a0We love our corner unit with the master suite separate from the main living area, the private balcony, and the huge windows providing lots of light and fabulous views-it is the best kind of art!<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.glenwoodagency.com\/\">Glenwood Agency<\/a>\u00a0real estate agents were friendly, knowledgeable about the building and downtown, helpful, NOT pushy, highly respectable, and professional. They made buying the condo easy, fun, and exciting.<\/p>\n<p>I asked my neighbors why they selected The West. Here is what they had to say:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Prime location, close to Glenwood Avenue.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0Feeling of safety due to building security and doorman.<br \/>\n\u2022 Two parking spaces and covered parking.<br \/>\n\u2022 Younger\/more fun crowd.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0Easy to get in\/out for work.<br \/>\n\u2022 Basement storage.<br \/>\n\u2022 Best value for the money.<br \/>\n\u2022 Building&#8217;s quality.<\/p>\n<p>The West is an urban, dynamic place to live and that is WHY THE WEST WON!<\/p>\n<p>[Article\u00a0<em>Reposted from July 2009]<\/em><\/p>\n<div><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my husband and I decided to buy a condo in downtown Raleigh, we wanted a building with concrete construction and double walls for noise control (drywall, insulation, air space, insulation, drywall) and a pool.
