291 North Apartments

maintenance portal doesn’t work, you have to text Julie the manager in order to let the maintenance guys get stuff done. WHICH THEY NEVER GET STUFF DONE!!!! The maintenance guys are great and if asked directly will try to fix the problem but there is no other efficient way to get something done. There are signs all over the place due to dog poop issues! Dog poop has been in the hallways, outside, in the washing machines, etc!!! This place is NOT CLEAN. Trying to sleep?? You can’t. Some random guy is screaming in the parking lot!! Or families are partying until 5am! We have quiet hours! Or I thought we did!! Getting home late from work?? You aren’t safe!! Another random guy is trying to lure you into letting him into your car!!! I can’t believe we live this close to campus and none of these issues are caused by college students!!! Oh and the smoking problem!!! I don’t care if you smoke, BUT DO IT OUTSIDE!!! Not in your bathroom where it seeps into other units!!! Our lease specifically states no smoking!!! I live in a non-smoking building for a reason!! I have had to open my door to police MULTIPLE TIMES because of other units! DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!!! IT IS DISGUSTING, NOT TAKEN CARE OF, AND OVERPRICED!! If I could move out yesterday, I would.

all of this immediately and followed up regularly over the course of a year. None of it was ever fixed, despite repeated maintenance requests and conversations. The property manager is a challenge. She rarely responds to messages, forgets previous conversations, and when you do get a hold of her, she’s snarky and dismissive. There’s no accountability or professionalism, and trying to resolve even basic issues turns into a frustrating and pointless cycle. Be extremely cautious about the rent cost. The advertised price is nowhere near what you’ll actually pay. They tack on a bunch of micro-fees that are never mentioned during the showing or initial conversations. Only once the lease is in front of you do you see the full cost — and even then, it’s not clearly explained. Read every line carefully and ask for a full breakdown before signing anything. The worst part came at move-out. Management and ownership attempted to keep my security deposit using false claims of early termination and unpaid rent — despite the fact I had a signed move-out agreement and provided copies of all cashed checks. Even with proof in hand, they continued to push back and deny reality until I mentioned getting a lawyer involved. Only then did they begin to engage in a reasonable conversation. Unless you are absolutely desperate for housing, I urge you to look elsewhere. This place is poorly run, unresponsive, and borderline predatory in how it treats its tenants. If you do decide to move in: Keep copies of everything — they will claim to lose documents. Never pay in cash — they won’t “have a record.” Document every maintenance issue and communication — you’ll need it later. This property is not just a hassle — it’s a liability. Avoid it if you value your time, your money, and your sanity.
