I’ve rented spaces all over the West Town area and Sound Space is by far the highest ranking option in my experience.
Spaces:
Although my room is on the smaller side it’s fairly priced. But the best part is the sound isolation. The rooms are very well insulated to reduce the bleed from neighboring bands. I record in my space all the time and rarely have issues. It’s also eerily quiet much of the time.
Security:
It’s the most secure place I’ve rented from. Both perimeter doors and individual space doors seem very secure (with a special type of key). Also camera coverage throughout the building adds another layer of security. At the last place I rented we found our door kicked in – you can’t kick in the doors at Sound Space, they’re fortified.
Neighbors:
The other Sound Space renters are generally cool, friendly, and best of all respectful of the building. The bathrooms are never trashed like other spaces I’ve rented. I never understood why someone would rip a sink off the wall or kick a hole in the door at the other spots that they were paying to rent… animals.
Neighborhood:
Plenty of free street parking and relatively easy load-in/out (though I’m on the first floor). There’s a 24hr Mexican spot a 4 min walk away.
Management:
Sam is responsive and makes payment effortless with an online portal linked to your bank account. Temp control of the rooms is reasonably handled – at least in my experience/room.
bottom line:
If you’re looking for a spot – and this location is convenient for you – I’m confident you’ll be happy here.
