Sentinel Real Estate Corp

I used to live at One City and my new apartment at The Republic is dramatically quieter. It's also on the nicer side of center city. I love how close it is to Rittenhouse Square and restaurants. The drexel shuttle stop on 19th street isn't too far, and there are a variety of other public transit options nearby (ie Bus 21).

Not the most glamorous building but relatively good value for the price, especially given the location.

I’ve lived in the republic for a year and a half and have enjoyed my experience. The management is responsive to maintenance requests and is proactive about notifying residents about work done in the building. There is also very limited noise transferred between apartments. I’ve never heard my neighbors.

Not too spacious but just enough for one person. Very central location. Average to low level gym. Free printing services which is a plus. Maintenance takes a while to respond to issues. No bug problem yet.

I have not had any major issues since moving here. Management is a little slow but not terrible.

Overall experience has been great! Amazing management and no security concerns. The only thing that is not great is the cost of rent, as it is one of the most expensive places in Memphis. Also, cooling the apartment has been a challenge at times, and it's far from everything except school.

I have had a wonderful experience so far at Belle Harbour. The pool is one of the best-looking pools I've seen at Memphis apartments and the amenities such as the gym, work room, etc. are all very well kept and nice. Management is very responsive, maintenance has always been quick and helpful. The landscaping is beautiful, and the apartments are very nice. Not every apartment is super updated, but they still look great and are very spacious. The complex is tucked away and gated which makes it feel very safe. Also, being able to enjoy the green space right by the Mississippi river is great. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I really enjoy living here. A lot of students across all UTHSC health tracks live here. There's a pool, a gym, great outdoor space, tennis court, study space, rec room, and it's very close to the greenbelt which I love. I also like the house-like apartment rather than 1 big building. Maintenance is always so kind to us and they take care of problems almost immediately. The gate is nice, it really gives me peace of mind living downtown, and the island in general is awesome

Spacious, updated apartments for great value.

I've had mostly good experiences living here. The maintenance staff is nice and will fix things as quickly as they can. We did have one instance though where our a/c went out in the winter and they said they couldn't fix it until it got above a certain temperature outside. Parking is never an issue and the amenities are nice. The leasing office employees are sometimes a little rude but you can manage.

Complex is gated, which I think is worth it. Haven't had security issues in the 2 years I've been here. Management is nice and responsive. There are renovated and unrenovated units, so prices vary. Pool area is great, there are also tennis courts, a rec room, and gym. Business center is a nice study spot sometimes but it's small. Lots of med students (M1s mainly) and other UTHSC students. FYI, if you get a 3rd floor unit you will probably have a gas fireplace which cuts out some square footage (didn't know this until I moved in). But the fireplace is great if the power goes out in the winter! Also if you tour, ask how the heating/ac works between the units. We didn't find out until we moved in that the guest bedroom in our floorplan basically gets no heat/ac. Maintenance guy said it's a problem in all of the units and wasn't really able to fix it, which drives up our utility bill.

Very quiet with apartments that face the river. Management has been quick to respond to issues. Plenty of parking. Small kitchen. Kind of a longer drive to a lot of places across town.

Generally good experience - updated amenities, large floor plans, responsive management team. There was a change in management from Greystar to Sentinel last year with some hiccups (e.g., issues with hot water) that have now been resolved.

Spacious, updated units for cheap price given the great location. However, since new management has taken over, there have been constant maintenance issues (e.g., no hot water for extended periods of time).

My wife and I have lived at the Republic with our 80 pound pup for over a year, and we just renewed our lease for another 12 months. We love the building's location, pet-friendly atmosphere, front desk staff, and our apartment's renovated fixtures. We live in a corner unit on the 19th floor, and the views and natural light are *incredible*. That said, it's very bright at night, so much so that I have to wear a sleep mask. The downsides of the building are 1) when the fire alarm goes off, you may have to descend lots of stairs, 2) the building is expensive relative to other options, though reasonably priced for the area, and 3) as an older building, water and other utility problems occur regularly. Also, the building recently came under new management that we're not fond of. They frequently fail to communicate before shutting off the water for maintenance (they do let you know, but usually after it's already off). We plan to move out at the end of the year to find something cheaper/in a quieter neighborhood (simply because our own preferences have changed), but we really have loved our time here.
