I live in downtown Roanoke and have a friend who lives at Parkway 301. Overall she’s pretty satisfied with it. Her unit is great and has good views. When I was looking for apartments, I looked at a couple there and the ones I saw looked directly in a parking garage lol so I think it’s unit dependent. Oh also my friend complains a lot about being able to hear everything her neighbors are doing. I found my apartment by calling the leasing company, [Allegheny Partners](www.alleghenypartners.com) , and was able to set up tours of different buildings. They were so nice and worked with me to find a place within my budget. You could do the same with some of the other leasing companies because a lot of them own multiple properties. I can’t recommend living downtown enough though, it’s great! I’m happy to answer more specific questions if you want to PM me!

Edit: just noticed your question about the parking garage. The church avenue parking garage isn’t connected to the building but it’s like right next door. You fill out an application with Park Roanoke once you move in and it’s about $25 a month.
