It used to be the site of the Allen Park Inn. The API was a great place. It didn't look like much from the outside but once you got inside it was beautifully landscaped, with a great pool and palapa bar. The bar at the API was like walking into 1965 -- and they served Prime Rib until 2 a.m. Anyway... The API is no longer there because it flooded during T.S. Allison in 2001. You will find this hard to believe, but I saw it with my own eyes both a the time of the flood and visiting the hotel to salvage some stuff a few months later -- the water was about as high as the first floor units of the Bel-Air. What appears to be the Bel-Air's parking garage on the ground level was underwater. So, the only thing I can tell you is that if we have another wicked storm like Allison, you can expect your car to be flooded and, if you live on the first floor at the front of the property, your carpet to be soaked. But how often do you get a chance to launch a kayak from your balcony? I don't know anything else about the place or its management, but I think it looks like a nice development. The location is great. Just ask for the second floor and park as close to Dallas St. as possible during a storm.
