Really cool building with trendy loft-style units, but if you're looking for quality service it's…read morenot the best place. If something breaks or needs to be fixed, plan on doing it yourself as the developer/landlord is completely unresponsive. Heard from many that they typically leave on bad terms as a result of this. Also, renters and buyers BEWARE--unit 216 leaks!! A neighbor of mine just moved in with her husband down the hall not too long ago and found out their unit has a very bad leak in it. The developer/landlord claimed he knew nothing about it, even though there's evidence to doubt him. Long story short, they are now moving (I believe to another unit in the building, but not sure) and the developer has already begun showing their unit to potential occupants! Chances are, he's not going to mention the leak, he's not going to fix it, and he's going to pretend to not know about it when the next tenants complain.....again.

I've lived here for over 3 years now and I could not recommend this place more!…read more The management is awesome and so responsive. The place is brand new, very fresh and chic design. They've got a lot of exciting new amenities coming and I can't wait. 10/10 best apartment I've ever lived in

I lived at Ferndalehaus for 4 years (there since circa 11/19). My experience with everyone on the…read morestaff was beyond fantastic! Paul has always been helpful in responding to requests, community events, or maintenance issues. He is also someone you can just have a conversation with. And Ursula, always works diligently every time I see her. Everyone that works at this building is top notch! This building goes beyond your normal lifestyle experience. It becomes a family. I am super thankful for my journey here, and recommend to anyone looking within the area. Not only do you have a great staff, but you're also in walking distance to all of the hot spots Ferndale has to offer. Part of the pull for me, aside from the great tour, was the walkability to multiple grocery stores, hair salons, restaurants, and nightlife. Ferndalehaus will forever hold a special space for me. I definitely recommend calling it home.

I lived at Amber Apartments on Mansfield Ave for nearly 20 years, and it truly felt like home. The…read moreoffice staff on Crooks Road were always friendly, professional, and accommodating. Maintenance was prompt, reliable, and handled issues quickly. Moving out to purchase my home was bittersweet, which says a lot about how well-managed this community is. I highly recommend Amber Apartments.

I rented an apartment here for about six months before I traveled overseas for work a while ago…read more It was a one bedroom apartment off of 14 mile on Mansfield avenue. It wasn't a bad apartment for the cost, but it was in a very old building. There was only two stories and the interior decor and furnishings looked reminiscent of the 70s maybe. Many of the Amber apartments now of course are much nicer and have town houses and condos available to rent now. I had a small bedroom with one small bathroom, but it had a long closet in the hallway, which was part of the living room area. The kitchen was fairly small as well, but functional. It surprisingly had a large dining area that fit my 12 seater table. Don't see much updates to the old apartments since then. It isn't the nicest or most luxurious the most updated apartment, but it worked for six months. If you intend to stay longer, I would advise otherwise.

Building management is not responsive to tenants. Constant maintenance issues that go months…read morewithout being fixed. Very poor experience. Several tenants have moved out in recent months due to the inability of management to properly service the building.

I love the actual loft because of the location, the intimiate feeling (yes small, around 900…read moresq.ft),huge patio with the second floor apartments, and architecture. Oh yeah and the best part of this loft is it's location, walking distance to downtown Royal Oak. Also, the utilties are very cheap! However there are a few downsides to these lofts. First downside is when you have a neighbor above you that wears high heels, you hear it right through the ceiling and this was a problem with our neighbor who wore them during night time hours. Also, several neighbors would leave their garage doors open and this defeats the purpose of securing our vehicles in the garage which you have to pay $150 for a month! Third dislike is the neighbors are not very clean, they will leave trash in the halls and mailbox area. There was so much pile up of unwanted ads near the mailbox area, managment placed a trash can for everyone's use. Now everyone puts food and all kinds of unwanted items in the trash that make a horrible smell since it only get's taken out once a month.

I was a resident for a year, this place is not a luxury complex. I was not happy living there as I…read morefelt everything was poorly built with cheap materials causing many issues and an overall poor experience for the price. I initially toured a similar unit expecting the same conditions but what was given was a poorly maintained and put together apartment. Below are a list of things I noticed in my apartment, I have a few pictures one of the mold from the bathroom from poor grout maintenance and another(a bit blurry) showing the nails protruding from the ceiling. - The board beneath the bathroom sink appeared moldy and was deteriorating. - The area behind the kitchen sink appeared to have mold growth that seemed to predate my tenancy. - The appliances did not appear to have been pulled out and cleaned before I moved in. - The HVAC vents did not open or close properly and were visibly dirty inside. - The front door did not seal properly, allowing outside air in and making the downstairs significantly colder than the upstairs. - There were exposed nails protruding from the ceiling. - The washer and dryer both had visible mold. - The shower had visible mold. - The transition strip between the carpet and the stairs was coming loose. - The carpet was stained and in poor condition. - The trash service was unreliable The whole experience did not feel like a luxury accommodation and I would not recommend staying at the Harrison to anyone.

First off, when I chose to live here I was excited because management set the expectation that they…read moreoffer many amenities. They seemed like they would be very attentive to their tenants but this is not true. Here are some of the issues I've experienced - cancelled maintenance without notification, incorrect information given to me for important issues, management arriving late to meetings (over an hour late), not responding to emails within their own time frame and just plain rude when asking for simple requests. I believe the issues derive from poor management. James in particular has an attitude any time these issues come up but they stem from him and how he manages the property. For how much we pay monthly you would not expect this kind of management. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
