THE BOWIE APARTMENTS:
AMENITIES REALITY CHECK

Amenities vs. Availability: What Residents Actually Encounter

---

Perks that The Bowie Advertises:

- Rooftop pool, skyline views, and a 31st-floor deck with fire pit and grills

- 10th-floor dog park

- EV charging, bike storage, controlled-access garage

- Walkable Market District location (Whole Foods across the street, trail access nearby)

- In-home finishes ranging from stone countertops and floor-to-ceiling windows, to gas ranges and built-ins (some "in select units")

---

Resident Reality:

- Amenity uptime matters more than amenity lists. Pool and shared spaces have had closures or limited access, and timelines aren't always clear when things go down.

- Outages overshadow perks. Building-wide issues (water shutoffs, elevator problems, construction disruptions) can make advertised amenities unusable when you actually want them.

- "Select units" covers a lot. Not every home has terraces, specific finishes, or the nicer built-ins; verify on a per-unit basis during tours.

- Pet friendliness meets logistics. The dog park is convenient, but water and elevator issues make pet care more challenging.

- Great location is real. Walkability and grocery access are strong... but they don't compensate when core services are unreliable.

Quick Compare

- Rooftop pool: Exists, but expect closures or restrictions.

- EV charging and parking access: Mixed availability, despite high monthly fees.

- Conference room and coffee bar: Nice to have; conference room less useful when building contractors are prioritized for use over residents who pay a monthly amenity fee.

- Premium finishes: Many are accurate, but confirm specific features for your exact unit. Ongoing construction may limit your use and enjoyment of your unit and any premium finishes.
