The only good reviews must be written by the management.
Parking- Unless you can afford the garage fee, you must leave your car in the lot or street parking. Assume your car will get broken into 2-3x a year.
Location- Close to downtown but far from the closest safe grocery store. Homeless shelters and lots of homeless walking around, you will get harassed. Not safe at night.
Space - Lots of open space, but little to no closet/storage space. Small bedroom closets that are not completely
...enclosed so dust gets over everything. No jacket closet or shoe closet. Little kitchen counter space and storage
Noise/Neighbors - The biggest problem. No insulation between units including between floors. I can hear everything going on in the neighboring units and upstairs. Most of the apartment is too loud to sleep or study in because of the neighbors or people yelling in the halls. The building is filled immature college students. Loud music and screaming all day. Asking the management to deal with it is useless. You will find trash, beer can/bottles everywhere. The hallways and elevators smell like a mixture of vomit, stale beer and cigarettes. The carpets are old and stained. Managements tries to cover them with a lot of mats.
Overpriced- It is nearly the same price as renting an entire house 10 minutes away in Cleveland heights or Ohio city.
Building Quality – Developers did a cheap job of converting this place. Cheap counters, flooring, lack of insulation, fixtures, no firewalls between units & overall very poor quality. There are holes in the windows. When it rains, water comes in the windows. Heating/cooling cost are crazy. The holes are so big that nearly twice a week, I find huge wasps and hornets that have sneak into the apartment through these cracks (I don’t open the windows because of the horrible garbage smell outside and the abandoned building next door that has several hives). It shouldn’t surprise you that the building is filled with spiders and bugs.
Mail – I have had multiple amazon packages stolen. I have to have my packages dropped of at the Cleveland amazon store where I have to go to pick them up, defeating the whole point of amazon.
Management – They lied to me when I visited here. They said the units were sound proof (huge lie). They said the building was mostly young working professionals (lie – mostly a dorm). The will say anything to fill the units and get you to sign the contract.
Summary: go elsewhere…I can't wait to leave.
