Park Tower is not very fancy, but it does offer a competitive price compared to many surrounding buildings.
In general, do expect trash to be left in stairwells, washing machines to be broken and filled with water till it smells, and certain amenities to just not be available for the entire year you live there (Looking at you intercom).
After all that, and compared to the price and location, I still think it is a decent deal. That is until I tried to move out.
I moved into a fairly dirty
...apartment. I filled out the check-in form very thoroughly and took pictures, but did not mind that much as it meant that I wouldn't be charged for cleaning when I moved out. Boy was I wrong.
Even though I moved into an apartment with dust coating the ceiling fans, where the oven had cheese baked on everywhere, where there was a very large carpet stain, and where there was candy left in the cabinets. Even though I spent an entire day cleaning the apartment after I had moved out and before I turned my keys in. They still withheld a large portion of my security deposit for cleaning.
They offered me partial returns of the deposit if I settled, but so far I have refused. The new property manager tells me it is impossible for him to get access to my check in form, and the company that has it refuses to return my calls or emails.
I would advise you not to live here, unless you are perfectly fine donating your security deposit to Wisconsin Management Company, or if you are prepared to go to small claims court to get it back.
