Greystar

Since Feb. 2023, there has been only 1 properly functioning elevator. No service elevator either. To use their own words, they still have no clue when the parts will arrive. Be prepared for extremely long wait times. Do yourself a favor and ask a current resident while on your tour. They will give you the facts.

Since we decided to move in to these apartments, we have had nothing but troubles. Initially, we were expecting to move in around the 20th of July. This was pushed back multiple times as the renovations were not yet done, and the estimates we were given for their completion were not met. When we went to the walk through, we had to point out a number of issues such as exposed wires, caps missing from outlets and fire detectors/sprinklers, paint needing to be touched up in various places. One of the windows was completely off the railing, and a cover for another window fell off during the walk through. Eventually, because we liked the apartments enough to overlook those red flags, we sign the lease August 9, hoping to at least put that behind us and move in. Currently, it is the 29th of August and we still do not have a key to the garage, that we are being charged 100$ per month to use. My roommate works at a hospital, and works call shifts in the middle of the night. They NEED access to their parking space, and frankly the fact that this is even an issue is astounding. Every time any of us head to the office to resolve the issue, we have been told that the person attending is personally looking into it, and they would give us theirs if it cant be resolved by tomorrow. We've been told this for about a week straight, and still have no eta on when this will be resolved.
This has easily been the worst experience I've had when dealing with moving. The people managing the site have always presented themselves to us as polite and understanding, but time and again we feel that they have completely dropped the ball on us. The apartments are nice, but The amount of stress and frustration that this process has given us blows that completely out of the water. With the prices they are charging, you would expect to have No issues at all with simply moving in or parking a car. This is simply unacceptable. Avoid this place.

I lived at GrandMarc at the Corner for 2 years and was thoroughly impressed during my stay. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to campus and a vibrant community around. The amenities there were fantastic - from the well-equipped fitness center to the inviting pool area, there was always something to do. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to assist. The apartments themselves are modern and comfortable, providing a great living experience. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my choice to call GrandMarc home.

I love living at MidMain Lofts! They have the nicest office staff, quickest maintenance man and you absolutely cannot beat the location in Midtown. There are a myriad of restaurants, bars and fun shops on the block underneath the apartments.

The building allows aggressive dogs to live in the building and does very little to keep them under control. My dog and I were attacked twice in the same day. The first was in the off leash dog park where another dog punctured his ear and the second My dog and I were attacked in the building by 3 other dogs that live in the building that led to an emergency vet visit. Nothing was done beside a message being sent to the community to keep dogs under control. The aggressive dogs are still free to live in the building.

I love living at MidMain. It's definitely on the pricey side but you can't beat the neighborhood! Close to the light rail, walking distance to multiple bars, restaurants, shops, Midtown Park, etc. The "secure" tenant parking area is nice. They do have security patrolling the garage but it's usually only one person at a time. Also, no free guest parking for residents which stinks (you can buy $5 passes at the office though). Excited for another year here!

Awesome place to live and close to place of livelihood. Walking to nearby restaurants and grocery stores improves health too. Renewed lease without batting an eyelash. Safe space for everyone. Thank you.

Great location in Midtown with safety features like a gated parking garage and badging required to enter residential areas. Convenient for the red line Metro rail. Nice gym, small dog park, pool, and BBQ areas. Friendly leasing office staff.

I give this place a 0. This building claims to be pet-friendly, but it is all smoke and mirrors. I personally know three residents on a specific floor that were asked by management to remove their dogs from the building within 24 hours without prior warning as a result of alleged noise complaints from neighbors. This request alone is unreasonable, but when it was discovered that it was the SAME neighbor making the complaints, this made management's way of dealing with this situation was beyond mind blowing.

The building has what is advertised as a dog park on the roof deck. However, management requires dog owners to keep their dogs leashed at all times - even during play - while using this "amenity" for the "safety of the dogs and those around them", claiming that this dog park is mainly just a place to take the dogs to use the bathroom. A few of my neighbors even received write-ups from management for letting their puppies off leash during play, and it when it was brought up to them that keeping dogs on leash during play is unsafe, the only response back was a shrug.

I have been astonished by the fact that a building that claims to be dog friendly is so intolerable to dogs and that management has no idea how to do their jobs. I would absolutely not recommend this building to any dog owner, but I truly would not recommend it to anyone given the fact that management has zero concept of reality.

Looking for a new place to live

A lot of these old reviews are from under previous management but Greystar has really changed 400 Meeting for the better. They care about their residents and the maintenance team is top-notch. They just got new security too so I feel really secure in my apartment. The rooms are huge and I have a view of the Ravenel bridge from my window. I love sitting out at the pool and the new coffee machine in the lobby. It is only about a 10 minute walk to campus and 2 blocks from King St with a million bars and restaurants. I would recommend any CofC student live at 400 Meeting!

My Experience So Far

Best community of DTLA

I have enjoyed my time at this apartment. It is relatively expensive, but I liked being close to Vanderbilt.

I live in a townhome with a lot of space. It’s definitely an older complex but they are slowly renovating it, so any apartments/townhomes available to rent now would be renovated. Maintenance is good, management is hit or miss, and I generally feel safe. It’s about a 20 minute drive to Vanderbilt depending on traffic.
When we moved in rent was ~$1300, but places all over went up a lot this past year so not super out of the norm, but I feel like it may have finally hit its max since we are further from Vandy/downtown.
Public transit is not good out here, so this would not work if you don’t have a car
