Gables Residential

Location is the only real benefit to living here. The Asst. Manager is a Type-A personality who comes off as argumentative all the time. Cross her and she is vindictive. Heaven forbid that you get notified that a package was delivered and you have to ask her to retrieve it! She won't look carefully, and will then tell you that the carrier is the problem. You're left feeling helpless even though you know the package is in the office. You will pay high rent and they don't think package service is their responsibility. The other office girls are great; however, you will NEVER see the actual property manager, as that stealthy figure hides away in a secure bunker. Maintenance doesn’t clean the hallway or stairwells. Human feces are still stuck to the wall in stairwell 12, first floor landing, even though I complained about it in person and emailed them. Be prepared to step over and around vomit, human and dog urine, and feces as they are a common obstacle of the hallways and stairs. Noise from Mockingbird Station and the roadway is loud. Neighbors are inconsiderate and will sit on your car in the parking garage. Reserved parking means nothing as towing is left to you to enforce yourself. I lived there for over six years and it just got worse. Renters beware!

Apartment complex is not the cleanest on the outside but are great on the inside of the rental. For a student at SMU this place is perfect. It is on the low end of rent but still has great amenities for what one is looking for. Provides a pool and workout space. Most importantly it is walking distance to SMU campus. Katy Trail runs next to it and perfect location to lower greenville, downtown and a few college bars/strip up the street withen walking distance. Pretty quiet place as far as tennants go.

although the building is older, the environment is very safe and student friendly. It is near American University's campus in upper NW, but my drive to HUCM is consistently 20 minutes, maybe 30 with REALLY bad traffic. Garage parking is a 200 dollar fee, but they have many deals and I was able to have that fee waived.

Accessibility is great.

The apartment complex is safe and well-run. The management is very responsive and kind. However, it is relatively far from campus and the bar scene is non-existent. The gym and pool are tiny, with the gym in particular being lacking. If you don't care about the amenities, drive, and don't go out that much it's ideal. Great for dog owners as there is a park with a walking track directly attached to the complex. Overall recommend for those not as social/alcohol oriented.

train is very loud so be careful of unit selection. has good bones (decent gym and pool) but is old - my AC broke week 1 and my hot water pipe burst randomly in month 3.

Old and quite apartment, located closed to all convenient stores. easy access to all highways and critical areas, but slow recovery on disasters.

The Berkshire overall is a great place to live! It is close to campus and a safe area. The building is always clean and the staff is very attentive. The only problem is that occasionally roaches come out of the drains. There have been 2 incidents of this in my year living here. They do have pest control to help with this. It can be difficult for graduate students too because many undergraduate students live here so it can get pretty noisy.

Great facility, nice neighborhood, close to DuPont, Foggy and Georgetown. There’s a Trader Joe’s nearby. Building gym and pool not the best but also has a garden, a roof and a lounge area with free coffee for residents. Concierge service 24/7 and building maintenance from the management company.

The place is super nice for the price and location. The management is on site during business hours, so they're easy to access. Beautiful pool, small gym, lots of parking for you and guests.

Overall great experience living in this building. Lots of amenities including pool and 24 hr gym, and nice apartments. Close to lots of things to do in Coral Gables, and centrally located in Miami. Only downside is that it takes about 30 minutes to drive to FIU campus, and that management at the building is not the best, although this hasn't really impacted my living experience much.

It’s a little pricey but very worth the money and peaceful

We like living here and like the area. Friendly people, cleaning staff and front desk. We feel safe. Have a wonderful view.
Management team however is Very slow to respond to requests for maintenance. Pool is closed often. No communication with residents about this.m Bummer.

We are basically happy living here. Many good things could be said.
Cleaning and door staff friendly and helpful.
However the management teem leaves l lot to be desired. Poor response to our needs. Poor communication to residents especially when the pool is closed, which is very often. No notice given.
They may say "we'll get right on" but one usually has to make several visits downstairs to get action.

Big apartments and near the metro as well as a few grocery stores. Convenient location right on ponce and US 1. Management and maintenance aren’t the greatest. It is hard to get help when an issue arrises.
