February 3, 2026When I approached Idea1, I had just moved and found myself in a very difficult housing situation. I was eager to make a change and was fortunate to connect with Chris, who truly went above and beyond to help me find the perfect apartment. I am now almost a week into my new home and could not be happier with the move. Chris made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I previously lived at Idea1 when the property was managed by Greystar, and it is clear how much care Fairview has put into the ...building since then. I am very much looking forward to my tenancy here. If you are considering Idea1, ask for Chris. He will take great care of you and make the transition into your new home as easy as possible.Property Manager Responded

December 4, 2025It’s a lovely community that’s FOR residents. The building alone is fantastic, from a 24 gym to a sundeck and jacuzzi and parking. They cater to residents by hosting a plethora of events in the complex and around the community partnering with local business. They’re easy to work with and are efficient at accommodating any and all needs. Couldn’t recommend living here enough!Property Manager Responded

October 3, 2025I have lived here for nearly four years and the entire time has been an excellent experience. The building is beautiful and the cleanest I've seen anywhere downtown. It is also very safe and has a pleasant and quiet ambience. Neighbours are considerate and friendly and this is because the staff do such a brilliant job at ensuring that Idea 1 is not simply just an apartment complex but also a community that we can call home. Thanks always to the wonderful Idea 1 staff for making this community ...such a wonderful place to live.Property Manager Responded

Efficient Maintenance, But Communication Lacking
February 10, 2025The maintenance team at IDEA1 completes work orders in a timely manner. However, communication needs improvement, as staff members are not always responsive when greeted and lack professionalism. The maintenance manager is relatively new, which may contribute to the current communication gaps.Property Manager Responded
February 12, 2025Hi there, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you letting us know. If you're willing, I'd love to get more of an idea of where the communication slipped so we can improve and refrain from communication gaps in the future. Please reach out at leasing@idea1apartments.com if you'd like to address your concerns in more detail. Cheers!

Avoid Some Units
June 21, 2022If you're choosing to live downtown, there are always going to be noises and community around the area that are different from a neighborhood. Avoid staying in certain units here though. Specifically the ones that have plumbing pipes on the ceiling. Due to the "industrial design" of the property, everything is open ceiling and plumbing pipes line a lot of the ceilings of the units. Every time someone flushes a toilet, takes a shower, it rains, or scheduled draining, you hear water through them. ...It's not quiet either; it is a very distracting and annoying sound when trying to enjoy living or sleeping.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
This is the most overpriced slum in downtown:
May 18, 2022Its literally built in skid row. The trolley thunders past the building every 15 minutes from 4:30 am until 1:30 am. There are homeless drug addicts on the sidewalk around the he building and many of them sneak in and break into cars, rooms, storages, or sleep on the roof or in stairwells. To name a few things. If you want to pay the premium prices for the Lousy housing this is the place for you!Review from Apartments.com
Not worth the trouble
August 18, 2021The people in this community are not held to any sort of standard. The management team does little to nothing to address the issues brought to their attention. I have been here for two months and have had to start looking for a new place. The conditions are unlivable and the only recourse is to leave.Property Manager Responded
