Statler is a solid apartment complex with a luxury looking lobby, concierge usually available most hours of the day, and spacious apartments in usually clean hallways. The location is optimal for accessing downtown locations such as Cleveland State University, Playhouse Square, etc. The price for two bedrooms is affordable.

The parking garage needs help as it suffers from break-ins every now and then as most parking garages in downtown do. It can use a cleaning as well and security cameras. Currently the rate is $195.00 a month.

The side entrance on 12th Street at night can occasionally have homeless individuals harassing people passing by. Occasionally, homeless individuals find their way into the building by either following residents entering or through the basement. This is a common problem in many downtown apartment buildings.

Living downtown in Playhouse Square is a great change of pace from the university setting. Our drive to school is about 12-15 minutes with morning traffic, but only 8 minutes without traffic. The building is beautiful and is kept very clean and safe. There is a large common room, a gym, and a rooftop terrace accessible to all guests. The rooms are very spacious! Attached parking is an additional $195 per month. The management staff takes great pride in maintaining their property!

What can I say about The Statler that hasn’t already been said about Motel 6 or the esteemed gulags of Siberia? As an introduction to our new tenancy they graciously released a cloud of sewer gas into the apartment. I guess that is how they say welcome because when the maintenance arrived after an hour or so with multiple calls and in person visits to the front office they said “oh that just happens.” It has been a great cardio workout as you must run out of the apartment before the sulfur fumes spread through the AC system. On the topic of maintenance they have this fun new innovative program that I didn’t realize I was part of! It’s a way to learn how to fix and maintain all of your own appliances as they strictly bring the parts to your apartment or even better, they take apart the appliance for you so you only have to put it together. So far I have practiced my drywall installation, plumbing, and even my own AC maintenance! There is little question that they want the best experience for you as they provide complementary pets! I personally did not want to partake but they still filled my windows with spiders. How thoughtful!

I love my apartment complex. The management team is very responsive and any maintenance requests are taken care of promptly. There is an attached parking garage that is well lit and the community room is beautiful.

My housing experience has been pretty different from a lot of medical students in that I am living downtown with my fiance as opposed to on the east side where most students live. It's a little more inconvenient to get to school--I can't just roll out of bed 10 minutes before class starts--so if you're not a morning person this probably isn't the best choice for you. But if you're okay with getting up a little earlier, it is super convenient to get to school on the Healthline--and it saves a lot of money on parking! Overall, I absolutely love living down here. There are so many bars and restaurants within walking distance, and pretty much everywhere I would want to go is just a $5-10 Uber away (Cleveland Heights, Ohio City, Tremont, W 6th/9th, etc). The Statler is also right in the theater district, so if you're into that kind of thing, its really nice to be able to just walk out your door and see a show!
