DON'T LIVE HERE
June 11, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
DO NOT MOVE HERE! Bakery living may seem like a nice place to live, but the management will get you with all their hidden fees and costs and are generally unpleasant to deal with. Want an extra key? That'll cost you $100 because you can't make copies on your own. Get locked out because you only have one key, that'll cost you another $100 just to get let into your apartment. Forget to renew your autopay, that'll cost you another $100. Does your trash happen to clog the trash shoot? There's also a ...
fee for that.
They also don't provide a way to dispose of cardboard boxes without walking all the way to the basement of the building which is a huge inconvenience that you will experience on a regular basis. Similarly, you will have to walk all the way to the front door any time you need to let a guest in.
There are also charges for water and sewer. These are not based on usage, but instead you are just charged a percentage for the whole building. There is absolutely no transparency behind these charges and you actually have to pay a service fee just to be charged for the buildings water and sewage.
They advertise free bagels on Saturdays, but they don't usually arrive until after 10am, so if you are an early riser you'll be waiting a while for your breakfast.
Then there are the ridiculous things they make you sign for your lease. You have to agree to let them throw away your packages, if they are not picked up fast enough. You have to waive your right to participate in class action lawsuits (not even sure if this is legally enforceable). You give them the right to use your picture in any promotional material.
If I were you I would avoid Walnut Capital in generally. I can't speak for their other buildings, but I'm sure it's more of the same.
