Gables Park 17
After a long weekend in sardine-can New York real estate, I wanted to see what The Gables Park 17 had to offer the Dallas real estate world at the newly minted, 292 unit high rise apartment complex. If you live in New York, you are going to sob at what you get here: bamboo floors, custom wood cabinets, thick marble counters, huge baths with soaking tubs and separate showers, deep kitchen sinks, gourmet stainless appliances, full size washers and dryers in some units, stackables in others, great terraces, great insulation — couldn’t hear the party outside once we shut the door. I was having deja vue that I was in a North Dallas home. Not to be rude, but the kitchen finish outs and back splash is way nicer than what I recall at The Palomar — and these are rentals! I was really impressed with the amenities. Having just come from The House, I thought maybe I was in another condo. Park 17 has a definite condo feel to it with a beautiful infinity edge pool, private cabanas with i-pad docking stations (yes! make my Apple stock go up!); glorious deck, media and poker rooms, theater, party rooms, gourmet cooking studio, and great fitness center. There is also great art, more than 100 pieces from local artists, on every floor and throughout the complex.
Of course, they are not cheap: rents range from $2100 for 851 square feet to $3200 for 1326 square feet, but they are running a three months free rent now if you sign a lease before July 1. Senior VP of investments Douglas Chesnut didn’t seem fazed: he explained that the number of multi-family housing units going up has been halved by the recession, partly because the banks just are not lending because the Feds do not want them to. He sees a dearth of housing units in the future and higher rents due to diminished supply.
Will post some interiors later — you won’t believe this place. My favorite: a two bedroom corner unit on the eighth floor.

Negotiating Your Apartment Renewal!
What can you do if you are facing a big rental increase at renewal? Last week we shared information on the Houston rental market - Dallas apartment rents are increasing big time!
If you are handed a renewal notice with a hefty rate increase, here are 7 strategies for negotiating your renewal:
1. Opt for a longer renewal lease term. In some cases, properties are willing to renew at lower rates if you opt for a longer lease extension. Generally to get the best deal you want to extend for 12 months, or even longer.
2. Choose the right time to renew your lease. Most properties are busiest during the summer while demand drops off during the winter. You can take advantage of the seasonal trend by negotiating a renewal before the summer rush.
3. Negotiate perks. Along with rental rates, you can try to negotiate perks such as a discounted rate for an on-site storage unit, lower rates on reserved parking, or request that pet rent be reduced or waived.
4. Properties like to keep good residents. If you have been a good tenant throughout your lease term and have paid rent in a timely manner, you can use that to your advantage in asking for a better renewal rate.
5. Note the vacancy rate. If the end of your lease is approaching, take note of vacancies at your apartment complex.
6. Shop around. If there are other apartment buildings in the same area, call and ask what the rental rate would be for a comparable floorplan. If the rates they are offering new residents are significantly lower you can sometimes use it as leverage with your current property.
7. Play hardball. Sometimes you have to walk in with your notice to vacate letter in-hand before a manager will negotiate. Let the manager know that you have very much appreciated the time that you have lived there but that the renewal increase is more than you are willing to pay.
Ultimately, you should be prepared to walk away. If you cannot negotiate a compromise on your renewal rate, it may be time to move on and move out.
