Dog wash station. It's nice to see apartments which allow pets. That's a big deal for people who find they have to move suddenly. I hate to see renters in a situation where they have to give up an animal they've had for years.
I imagine this is going to be a lot of summertime city-escape kind of renters. It's fantastic access to the mountains and rivers up north, and obviously nice for leaf peeping, too. I'm definitely curious to know what kind of resistance this project received from locals. I don't think of the sorts of people who tend to live up here as very receptive to denser growth and more people.

The problem is, it's dead center of that murderous 10-mile stretch of weekend traffic--during both ski season, summer hiking season, AND fall foliage season--that metastasizes from Intervale to the north on 16 all the way south on 16 at the edge of downtown Conway.
As majestic as the landscape is up there during all seasons, that weekend traffic is absolutely soul-sucking and infuriating and also depressing in how it reinforces that the Conways have been "wrecked" to a certain extent by rampant tacky materialism, overconsumption, strip mall-ification. "This is why we can't have nice things"
Maybe that's why the NIMBYs didn't NIMBY this one.
Probably end up becoming a hotel in the end.
Quite possibly! Unless a sizeable portion of this apartment complex is given over to subsidized/workforce housing--i.e., people whose service/hospitality jobs within The Conways obligate them to live here--I'm skeptical of how it can be competitive on the open market given the aforementioned Traffic Hell. If you have the money and you want to live permanently in this area, you're not going to want to live there...
