Grand Ave apartments, your home away from home…because you’re going to wish you were back in the place you were in before these apartments. If you enjoy trash in the hallways, the stairwells, and leftover peoples crap in the trash rooms, you’ll fit right in. This place is for you if you like mismanagement, terrible communication from staff, and inconsistencies at every turn!
Let me say, this place was a good place in the beginning (first year) with the previous management staff (I lived in the
...building for two years). Of course it’s an apartment in a downtown neighborhood, so it’s going to be noisy and you have to deal with the area bars and the neighbors upstairs, but those are not the problems at all…. It’s all in the new management… or “management” because I’m not actually sure they manage anything other than getting new people in the building to charge an astronomical amount.
You’ll find office staff who have no idea who live in the building because it’s a new set of employees every week. Good luck getting any communication from them, not only after car prowls, break-ins, and, an attempted suicide from the roof, there were no communications from management about this, and you hear it from other residents but never from management. Half the residents smoke and even though there is a no-smoking policy that no one enforces, they smoke inside the apartments, on the balconies, right outside the doors (ignoring the 25 feet law), and in the garage; don’t worry, you’ll constantly smell it going up the elevator and no matter how many times you say anything to management, they do nothing in regards to their “no-smoking policy.” In regards to the parking garage, half the residents pay for parking and the other half just sneak in the garage, there’s no checks and balances. Management has even said they really don’t care what cars are in the garage. Good luck ever having guests and visitors, they won’t have any place to park either- the spots in front are always crowded with residents who haven’t figured out that you don’t need a parking hang tag or sticker to park in the garage. Don’t be surprised if you find someone sleeping in the lobby or in the areas outside the elevators (happened more than once with no email about it). Do yourself many favors and stay away from this apartment complex. I firmly believe that this place could be amazing, but you’ll have a lot of frustrations with the current management who do nothing for their residents.
