DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!

April 15, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
As a resident of a year now, I will say I cannot wait for the day I get to say goodbye to this dumpster fire of a building… if you choose to live here, you will have: -Broken elevators, ceilings that cave in, water that is never a consistent temperature or pressure, washers + driers that are down half the time + rip your clothes, leaky pipes into your living area, good luck trying to get the singular repair guy to come in bc he’s holding together an entire building on his own, high heating costs, ...
windows that won’t even fully seal/ close, and much much more

To an amazing building I will miss

November 6, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
I lived here for the last 2 years while attending school and am going to miss it! The building is beautiful and I had relatively few maintenance issues. The space is great for the price and I loved the location and the pool!!!! I have to move for work but would come back in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Building

November 6, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
This was my first apartment, and it's been going on 2 years now. There is so much charm lobby, and the updates to units are lovely. Not only that, but maintenance is extremely kind and will help you with anything needed. Whenever there has been an issue, as it is an older building, they are prompt in reaching out and trying to fix it or finding someone who can. Overall, I love living here and enjoying the peace while being just steps away from activities!

Things won’t stop breaking

September 30, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
All things considered, the location is pretty nice, and the maintenance guy will get there pretty fast, however be ready for nothing to be working- elevators down, leaking sinks, we’ve now been without water for 24 hours because the pump wasn’t installed right

Stay away!!!

Beautiful Building, Great Location

May 1, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I moved in summer of last year and love it. It's an older building but the views are amazing and where else can you find a pool in Detroit?! It's walkable to pretty much everything and my apartment gets great light.

I've been living here about a month and so far I love it. Building is clean and very quiet. The management company is doing lots of repairs and maintenance to the building. Any issues always seem to be resolved quickly. Both of the double doors to the street lock and I always feel very safe.

Love my apartment

October 25, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I have lived here for 2 months now and love the location. It’s walkable to campus and the views from my apartment are amazing. Looking forward to using the pool in the spring! :D

Great Location

August 10, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I toured this past weekend and loved the location! It is walkable to everything in midtown. The units have amazing views and brand new kitchens - Overall the building seems super clean and the pool area looks amazing!

STAY AWAY!!! This building is COLD, NO HOT WATER, and HORRIBLE!!

July 24, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
All cement floors, your ELECTRIC BILL will be $300 - $600 in the winter. NO HOT WATER on weekends. Elevator breaks daily. Modern City Management tries to manage the building through the internet, they are never around. The recent good review was done by the manager to fill the building up, just so you know.

Good Vibes

June 27, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I've lived here for four years while attending grad school and into my first job. The new management has been a complete positive 180 from prior ownership and the renovations are starting to make huge difference in the look AND FEEL of the building for the better. They were long overdue and worth the limited dust and noise they have caused.

Old friend...

November 7, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
When I started working for The Belcrest, it was back in 1994. I had no experience in property management, but learned fairly quick. I went from being a Leasing Consultant to Assistant Manger. We had tenants that had lived in the building since it was a hotel and they survived the change over to apartments. Ruth, the manager at the time, had worked as a switchboard operator before the hotel was transformed into apartments. We had the typical plumbing issues, hot water issues and elevator issues. ...
There was NEVER a dull moment at work. There were laughs, tears and yes, arguments. But, in the end, we were all family. The community, then, was such a pleasure to serve. The local restaurants owners were also like family as everyone knew each other and looked out for one another. Many of us have passed away while others have moved on. I have many fond memories of The Belcrest and I miss my old friend. One day, I will return-Brea
