bad management, constant leaks, unsafe area
December 14, 2022apartment constantly leaked, management never fixed them. total over 3 years my apartment leaked 7 times, ranging from minor damage, to thousands of dollars of damage, to black mold coming out of my ceiling. stay away.Review from Apartments.com
Water Street Commons
July 29, 2015When I first moved here I was extremely hesitant, as living in the city was not something I wanted to do. After viewing a number of apartments, and looking at the area, this place turned out to be great! The maintenance and leasing staff is helpful. They usually respond within 24 hours. The view of the river from my apt is amazing. The sound is calming. A short walk to Frontier Field, this apartment complex is the perfect solution!Review from Apartments.com
