Nothing like coming late to a conversation! I should have joined JCList a long time ago, and not lurked like I did. Disclaimer: I live at the Beacon - moved in the middle of August 07 - fled the ever rising prices in Manhattan for JC.
It's interesting to see the criticism of the place dissipate now that it's been open a few months on this list. Yeah, not everything went perfectly on the opening, and yeah, there's a few things that are still in progress, but overall, I'm very glad that I bought here. We also have a web board dedicated to just conversation about The Beacon: http://www.beaconowners.com/phpBB2/ I administrate it (another disclaimer). I think anyone who is considering owning or renting there should cruise through what current residents think of the place. Some of the information is a little old, since it complains about amenities not yet open, that are now open. There's also an "Owners only" section of the site to help current owners and those in contract communicate. I was pleased that Metrovest even decided to use a section of it to communicate with the 140+ members that live at the Beacon. I'd be eager to help answer questions here as it relates to living at the Rialto and Capitol (the two buildings currently open). I admit to not using much of the local business (found a few, but not many), as I still mostly use restaurants in Manhattan after work, and a few around Grove St. I have hope that it improves, but am realistic hat it won't happen overnight (or even in one year).
