  • Text is readableImportantPartial

    Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio. WCAG requires text to contrast with its background by at least 4.5 to 1, and the axe rule color-contrast checks for it.

    • Fix any of the following: Element has insufficient color contrast of 3.34 (foreground color: #ffffff, background color: #fc5000, font size: 12.0pt (16px), font weight: normal). Expected contrast ratio of 4.5:1: <a data-selenium-id="btn-03" class="btn letter-spacing-2 text-white btn-primary" href="/floorplans" style="" customlabelreplaced="">: https://www.thefalstaffapts.com/

    What to do Darken pale text and underline the links inside paragraphs.

    For your web team: Reach a contrast ratio of 4.5 to 1 for normal text, mark links in text with more than color, and leave user-scalable and maximum-scale out of the viewport tag.

The Falstaff is the one business I can offer, and its own website is https://www.thefalstaffapts.com/. It's a newer apartment community at 101 Poe Drive, Raleigh, NC 27610, which fits your search for luxury apartments.

What the site says

  • The homepage calls itself Luxury Apartment Living in Raleigh, NC.
  • Homes include premier vinyl plank flooring, elongated white cabinetry, mosaic tile backsplashes, stainless-steel appliances, and an in-home washer and dryer. Select homes also feature beautifully finished ceramic-tile bathrooms.
  • The community is studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartment homes, and built within the past two years.
  • Amenities include a 24/7 fitness center, ... the resident clubroom, and ... designer lobbies with free Wi-Fi, plus electric car charging. On-site management and 24-hour emergency service are also offered.
  • Location: just minutes from Downtown Raleigh, even closer to WakeMed Raleigh Campus, and less than a mile from Interstate 440.
  • A current offer: TWO Month's FREE on select apartment homes for immediate move ins. The site adds that terms and conditions apply.
  • Office hours are Monday to Friday 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday closed. The phone number is +1 743-228-5066.

Why I chose it: It is the only business I could bring you, and its site presents it as a modern, upscale community close to downtown and WakeMed.

Next step: Call +1 743-228-5066, or use the site's "Check Availability" link to see floor plans at https://www.thefalstaffapts.com/floorplans. The site also has a "Book a tour" prompt on the homepage.

What the site did not say (from the page I read):

  • Rent prices. The site links to a Fee Guide at https://www.thefalstaffapts.com/feeoverview and to floor plans, but I did not open either page, so I can't give you pricing or fees.
  • Square footage or the exact luxury features beyond the finishes listed above.
  • Whether the two-months-free offer applies to the unit you want, and what its terms are.

The testimonials on the homepage are the property's own selected quotes, so weigh them accordingly.
