Excellent management team. Repairs done quickly, responds to concerns
August 31, 2025Beats area prices by several hundred dollars for the footage 2 bed 2 bath utilities moderate cost. Solid structure in and out. Heating and cooling out dated grossly inefficient in comparison to the area. Premiere view like Newyork with the ceiling to floor view. Been here since 22’ not moving unless gentrified out.Property Manager Responded

DONT MOVE HERE
October 23, 2023Do not move here! The people in the leasing office do not care about residents. My car broken into along with several other resident cars and they do not care. They take zero action. Whenever I have guests their car has been broken into as well. The leasing staff is very rude and careless. Snobby if you will. Unless you want your car window busted or your car stolen do not move here!Property Manager Responded

THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR RESIDENTS
December 16, 202215Dec2022 update....nothing has changed. I feel like a moron living here as long as I have. The property was having work done and cut the internet lines to apartments ending in a 7 or 8 in the east building....it's now been over 3 days without any internet and the leasing office does not have a ETA!!! This along with the fact that they've allowed 1 of the 2 treadmills for the entire building to be broken for A YEAR is proof they don't care!!! I stopped in a couple months back and begged them to ...fix is before the winter because if the one good treadmill is in use, the alternative to waiting is to walk across to other building in the freezing cold. Oh, they also overcharged me rent for Dec 2022...two weeks later and still no reimbursement. Only good thing is the maintenance staff.Property Manager Responded
December 22, 2022Mike , we apologize for any frustration you have experienced due to the Internet outage and broken treadmill. We understand your disappointment and we'd like to discuss how we can best improve your outlook on your living experience. Please call us at (313) 567-6100 when you have the time.

Anywhere but here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 25, 2022Applied & paid the most expensive application fees I’ve ever heard of. It took their staff 2-3 weeks to get back to me. $50 application fee plus $175 refundable application fee. I was denied who knows why cause I applied to 3 other places all approved based on me bringing in 4 times the rent. This was one of the least expensive places I applied to. Well then they tell me it can take 30 days to get my $175 refundable fee back. Well it been 30 days & all their incompetent staff can continue telling ...me is the check is in the mail. I still haven’t received it. Do not give them your $ you may never see it back. This is bad business 101. I am now looking to higher entities to expose this place.Property Manager Responded

Avoid.
February 13, 2022Where to begin, I’ve had my bike stolen from the rack which is supposedly monitored. I’ve had visitors cars broken into in the visitor lot, which is a hike from the west tower. Much of the staff has been consistently disrespectful to myself as a tenant and my guests.Property Manager Responded

Review from Apartments.com
Good apartment BUT - STEALING FROM CARS IN LOT
May 26, 2021They are not responsible for anything stolen off of your car in their lot that costs $55 a month to park at (someone stole my catalytic converter). You are better off parking on the street and using that money to pay for a repair if someone steals your stuff. Overall, I like living here but management is not pleasant to work with. Downtown is close and there is a nearby park (tennis/ playground/ hammocking) and the Dequindre Cut. If you like nature and being active, the location is wonderful. ...Security- Nice but don’t actually guard anything. They ask if you are a resident almost every time you try to walk by and that’s it. Gym- always very clean Package pick up- has always been safe and smooth for me. Room- love my room but it is hard to regulate temperature Elevators- break down occasionally. Has not been a huge inconvenience for me. Cleanliness- vacuuming frequently, outside widow cleaning yearly, and painting kept up in the halls. Building is clean Laundry- machines sometimes stain your clothes if someone used bleach or something before you which is very inconvenient. Safety- I have always felt safe inside the apartment and walking around but there are huge problems with stealing parts off of cars in the lot. The structure is more expensive and there is always a waitlist but that might be more secure. Maintenance- Every time I have submitted a request they have helped me within a day. Very prompt. Bike racks- they need more in the structure because the racks are full. I am a medical student, love the location and my apartment, and I would recommend it. Realize that you are dealing with a corporate building that could care less about you.Property Manager Responded

I wish I could give 0 stars
June 20, 2019This place has the absolute worst and most obnoxious management. They are rude and so unreliable. They continuously were difficult about the terms of my lease and made me so frustrated. They continued to add fees and costs throughout discussion of rent, to add up to twice more than initially discussed. I have never had anyone be so rude and disrespectful to their tenants. They will say one thing to you and do another. The security is horrible, and there were multiple issues with parking break ...ins. The apartments are not even that great for the price. It is not a clean space and there is always smells in the building. Do not recommend to anyone.Property Manager Responded
June 25, 2019We are sorry to see that you are unhappy with your experience thus far, as we never want our residents to feel this way. We want to assure you that our transparency is very important to our staff and we are disheartened to see that you feel differently about that. We would be more than willing to discuss any concerns you may have about your account, as we want to be sure that there is no confusion. When you are able, please come speak with us in our office or reach us over the phone at (313) 567-6100 and a team member will gladly assist you. - Lafayette Towers Management Team

The Worst Security
October 16, 201810-16-18 at around 7:00PM. Gate house makes no call to residents when a guest arrives. Guest just show up in building creating a very unsafe environment for both residents and guests. Gate house security extremely rude and unhelpful. They did not seem able to operate gate or communicate. Did not return license and could not seem to operate gate to allow guests to leave property. Very strange experience. If all guests are met with this confusion I can not recommend this rental. Can not ...imagine anyone living in those unsafe conditions.Property Manager Responded

DO NOT RECOMMEND
June 8, 2018PROS: Walking distance to Eastern Market and right next to the Dequindre Cut (great for walks to the Riverfront). Beautiful views. CONS: Management is not kind or helpful. Apartments and hallways often smell like smoke. When it was anything above 30 degrees outside and sunny, my apartment was unbearably hot (even with the blinds closed). At least one elevator is usually broken. Security is usually on their phone or just not at the desk and during my time at the Towers, multiple cars in the ...guest parking lot were broken into (which is alarming since security sits in that lot). Overall, I would not recommend living here to anyone.Property Manager Responded
July 2, 2018Thank you for your feedback. We're disappointed to see that your experience at our community has not resulted in a higher rating at this time.

NOT SAFE
February 22, 2018They don't have good security. I've only been living there for a year and I've already had 2 friends who's cars have been broken into in the guest lot. While I understand that crime can happen anywhere there's no reason that break-ins should be so frequent. If they just had a security guard posted at night there's no way anyone would break-into cars so this is totally preventable but management doesn't care.Review from Apartments.com
