I moved here thinking it would be great considering the price they charge, however after a month of moving in started to see the problems, and I realized I made the wrong decision moving here.
The most consistent problem I faced was the water heater, the water heater has to be manually reset every 24 hours, so in the morning I have to reset it and wait 30 minutes for it to heat up. Me and my roommates submitted multiple maintenance requests and the times that it did get "fixed" it would go back to malfunctioning after a couple of days.
they charge a ridiculous amount for parking, I'm paying $100 PER MONTH for parking, and they use (Logan Parking Enforcement LLC) for parking enforcement, (Logan Parking Enforcement LLC) is known for being shady and sketchy. I had a situation where my parking sticker fell off and I got booted for it because they thought I didn't have a designated spot, however after showing the 800 block staff that I registered my car with their online system, I showed that the car is registered in my name and that it did have the sticker on it before it fell off, the manager said that 800 block won't pay for the boot removal fee ( $75 )
The apartments are poorly built using cheap materials, the vinyl floor is buckling in certain areas and the paint is thin and peels extremely easily.
AND THE WALLS ARE THIN! unfortunately, I can hear my next-door neighbor through the wall even when they talk at a normal volume, also the doors are thin and cheap, so they do not block out sound (besides the front door). The elevators are slow and sketchy, The elevator for the parking gerage occasionally smells like burning rubber wich is not comforting.
The hot tub and location are nice, the utilities are nice (except for the water heater) and the staff are nice and friendly, I wish I could say more nice things about this place however I cannot.
For the quality and management of 800 blocks, they should be charging half the price of what they charge now.
Also, another thing, they have you use an app on your phone to get access to the building after business hours, it's tedious having to pull out my phone, open the app, turn on Bluetooth, and hold it just right against the sensor so it unlocks. If your phone is dead then you're screwed. Most modern apartments use a small RFID chip that you can attach to your car keys so it's convenient-and so you don't have to rely on your phone. read more
