The staff is friendly and helpful, and the property looks nice, but the infrastructure maintains a thin veneer of quality overlaying a borderline dangerously slapdash job. I've lived here for a few years, and in that time there have been 2 major floods. One destroyed several apartments on the 2nd and 3rd stories of the north building along with the leasing office and package room, and the second hit the parking garage. We had half the elevators on property break and not be fixed for around a year. I also hope you like fire alarms, or at least the experience of a college dorm. Expect mandatory testing every other month. Expect surprise alarms at all other times to, because delivery and moving trucks exiting the lot periodically hit sprinklers causing mandatory evacuations around once a month. Lyric expects luxury prices but does not provide a comparable experience to other apartment complexes, and I gotta say it's good they require renter's insurance. If you choose to live here, I'd suggest you don't pick a high deductible. Another example of what you can expect is the removal of resident amenities - residents used to have codes to get in and out of the building, and they have been outright removed under the guise of a software update with no effort to fix or replace them, and a denial it was an amenity offered to begin with. The location is good and the gym is nice, but I'd probably go with Vaya or the Rise come next renewal.

Great location parking and responsive maintenance. Very premium in price and they charge for cleaning from your security deposit to sanitize , even though no other apartment I have rented has charged this. Very disappointing to have spent so many days cleaning and still be charged hundreds for cleaning. Be ready to sacrifice your security deposit no matter how clean you clean your place

Very noisy, amenities sometimes don’t work. Dial to get into building almost never works.

Well maintained, great location. Don't like apartment flooring - waxed paneling cheap, too glossy and easily shows dust, etc. Noisy facing Locust due to gym (some classes start as early as 5am) and 2am bar so can be noisy from 10pm-12am W-Sun.
