Overall rating 5.8/10, based on 6 renter reviews Write a review
Great price and views, impossible to get a hold of
The apartment itself is beautiful, with a great view of the city. The price is also very affordable. The only issues with the property are trying to get a hold of maintenance and the leasing office. The maintenance requests go through, where you pay rent, so you have no idea what the status of your request is. Currently, I'm waiting for a response from a month ago. It is impossible to get in contact with the leasing office; they never pick up the phone, and finding an email is impossible. When you do find it, they take a month to get back to you. It's a great apartment if you never plan to contact them.

BEWARE!!!
There are so many problems here that you simply cannot count them. The elevators are often out of service and wait times are long. This has been going on for years. The windows freeze and thaw leaving chipped paint and water damage, not to mention the black mold every winter. You can hear water running through the ceiling and walls. I have significant water damage in my shower from the ceiling and was told, it did not need to be fixed. I did call about this twice to no avail. The water continues to run. Let's see, what else. You can also hear every single thing in this building. I have a crying infant on one side of me. I can hear every time the person above me flushes the toilet. Every time someone walks past my door talking, I can hear it. Dogs barking when people go to work and cabinet doors being closed. The person next to me complains becasue he can hear me in the shower. This is so creepy. We have quiet hours and making too much noise is a lease violation. However, they won't enforce it here and actually get a little snitty with you when you report it. What else, they have set move in hours but people move in when they feel like it. So if someone decides to move in at 11 pm at night and you live by the apartment, forget about sleep. Again, nothing is addressed. Recently, I called because of excessive subletting and Airbnb guests, despite repeated emails telling us that it is a secure building and we cannot do this. When I reported it, the management person was more upset with me because I threatened to rent out my apartment than she was with the actual people who are subletting. If you have an issue with management, they gaslight you and tell you that all the complaints that you made to security (which you are told to do), they never heard of so they basically tell you that it's your fault it is going on, despite the fact that you did indeed report it. Also, let us not forget the homeless people who keep sneaking into the building. This has been going on for so long that we lost access to the bike room and a side entrance because too many residents were letting in people who did not live here. I have ring doorbell camera footage of drunk people checking doors in the middle of the night on my floor. And let's not forget about the homeless man who snuck in, stole a fire extinguisher, and then did damage to the stairwell and lobby. The fun just never stops here. When problems happen they ask us to be vigilant. However, when we are vigilant and report things, they literally yell at the person reporting it and then hang up on them. Corporate will not return phone calls. From this experience, I can only surmise that PMC Property Group does not want my rent money. All they had to do was address any of these issues, but alas no. Why you would want subleases in your building when you have tenants like me who always pay their rent on time each month is beyond me. But here we are and my lease is ending...so, I will be moving and I will also be sharing the myraid pictures and information I have about this building. I will share it until my fingers bleed.

Safe, Cost Effective, Close to Campus
I have had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I’ve never had a work order go more than a day. They are constantly improving safety measures. The gym is clean and there is in-unit washer and dryer. We control our A/C and heat. The cost of water is added on to rent but it’s only $40 I believe.

No Complaints
I've lived here for 2 years and never thought of changing locations; close to campus and can walk if needed, maintenance is timely and rarely required, property manager responds quickly as well to all inquiries
