Warning to all parents who are about to get sucked in to the annual rush to sign a lease for next…read moreyear. Save your money! The Rise is not worth the price you pay. While the location is great, the property is not well run. Maintenance is slow, it takes days to get mail (even when its a FedEx) and they do not respond timely to inquiries. I was infuriated when they intentionally shut down all of the trash chutes for all 12 floors during move out week......trash was everywhere and people were trying to move out and haul trash in the elevators at the same time. It was a mess for DAYS! Elevators are frequently out of service. Hardly the luxury accommodations you are paying for. I originally was willing to pay the price for the security aspects of the Rise....unfortunately this was a giant lie! There was an issue with that we needed to involved the police (a stalker made his way up to the secured 12h floor). The police viewed the survelliance footage and found the stalkers....but when they asked the Rise for a copy of the video footage, they were told that it was "too much trouble". One of my daughters roommates subletted her room (unknown to the other roommates) after they left in May (even though they were all still paying for May, June and July). The roommate was an employee of the Rise. While she benefited financially, the other girls were held responsible for the utilities and possible damages from this unauthorized, unaccommpanied individual. For 3 months, the Rise employees gave access for a stranger to enter my daughters apartment!!!! They nickel and dime you for everything!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter left her bathroom, bedroom and common areas EMMACULATE! They charged her almost $500 for turnover fees (over $2k for all of the roommates combined) for an apartment that had no damage. They are scam artists! So this is the place for you if you want broken elevators, shut down trash chutes, rude and unresponsive management, slow mail service, broken hot tub, a false sense of security and empty pockets!!!!!

The office staff are very pleasant and are attentive to our needs. The maintenance staff does a great job in keeping the grounds well maintained. This year we had a winter with a lot of snow and ice and every morning when we went to leave for work, the sidewalks and parking lots were clear. The staff that cleans the common areas are great and the areas are kept tidy at all times. The neighbors are friendly, the apartment is quiet and there is a great dog park. This is a great place to live.

Do NOT Rent Here -- You'll Regret It…read more This place is completely overpriced for what you get. The walls are paper-thin -- you can hear everything your neighbors say and do. Privacy doesn't exist here. The apartment I was given was significantly smaller than the one I was shown during the tour. When I brought this up, management ignored me -- just like they ignore pretty much everything else. The appliances are unreliable at best. The stove broke, the shower leaks, and the gas grills outside... they almost never work and are never cleaned. On top of that, the gym smells awful, and the ventilation inside the apartments is practically nonexistent. The stove vent doesn't even lead outside, so every time you cook, your entire place reeks -- and since the windows don't open, you're stuck with it. Temperature control is a joke. My apartment is either freezing or sweltering, It does not push effectively to my side of the apartment. You'll constantly feel uncomfortable no matter the season. Random No wifi! Fire alarms going off for no reason. Coffee shop is never open when you need it. Management is the worst part. They don't respond to questions or maintenance requests, and they absolutely do not care about the residents. They use manipulative tactics like saying the building is "almost full" to pressure you into signing quickly -- which is a lie. I spoke to someone trying to sublease their unit, and they said the complex is regularly over 10% vacant. This place is full of broken promises, poor maintenance, and indifferent management. Save yourself the money, time, and frustration. Look elsewhere. Seriously.

The apartment was in the same condition move in vs move out - actually, better condition on move out because it was clean. On move in, the apartment did NOT have new paint or any touch ups since two of the tenants had lived in the same unit the year prior, so they had left all their stuff hanging on the walls in the common areas. On move out, all 5 roommates received bills of nearly $1,000 each for damages that simply did not exist, and I very much doubt that the Legacy "fixed" anything. Charges claiming the floor was scratched when it was not (rug was on the floor in question all year) and claims of issues with the walls that would have simply been addressed by painting before the next group moved in. My advice - take videos of everything when you move in and have a move out inspection with the management.

Although the apartments are not the cheapest in town, I really enjoyed living at Paramount Circle…read moreand found it worth the price if you can budget for it. For $945 a month, we rented a two-bedroom, two-bath unit with a great layout for roommates (bedrooms at opposite ends of the apartment), including two parking spaces. We got all-new high-end appliances, including a glass-ceramic top stove. The apartment was simply quality: everything was relatively new and undamaged. The fitness center on-site was a great perk. Although their official materials permitted only two pets, we had three cats between the two of us and they OK'd this with no trouble. Our lease was scheduled to be up at the end of July, but when we both found places to live by June they offered to end our lease a month early to save us having to pay double rent.

We just renewed our lease for the 2nd time, which should strongly indicate that we are happy. Management while sometimes hard to get on the phone has always been easy to work with and honest. To us it seems like they care not just about their property but also their tenants. We live at the paramont woods complex on oakwood. It's well maintained with a dedicated Super. Any time during the week we've asked him to take a look or fix something, his response has always been "Is now a good time?" Also he's super friendly. Our complex is also pet friendly (one time albeit large deposit), and if I had to venture a guess, about 65% of all the tenants have a pet.
