Filthy, run-down, and expensive
October 22, 2025 - Reseña de Apartments.com
Avoid at all costs. I lived at the Barton for over a year, and it was the worst apartment experience I’ve had. If you're looking for an upscale apartment in Clayton or a safer place in STL, look elsewhere.
The Barton looks good on paper—safe location, seemingly lower rent—but it’s poorly managed and miserable to live in.
• The building is filthy. Hallways and stairwells reek, carpets are stained and full of pet hair.
• Need a lightbulb replaced? Expect a $60 charge—even for fixtures you didn’t ...
install.
• Walls and floors are paper thin. You’ll hear everything your neighbors do.
• Water pressure is terrible, hot water runs out fast, and maintenance never fixes anything.
• Hidden fees abound. Trash, garage, and utilities add $200–$300/month.
• Units are dark and depressing. Gray paint, poor lighting, and no natural light in hallways.
• Amenities are subpar. Tiny pool, broken grills, and a cramped gym.
Worst of all is the management. They're unkind, unprofessional, and unhelpful. They gossip about residents, threaten legal action if you complain, and make life here unbearable.
Do not be fooled by their promises—they won’t help you. This place is a disaster.
