They'd come help you with something when you needed it and they'd leave you alone when you didn't. The people in charge of it now don't care at all. No one is ever there maintaining anything -- and the building is a hundred years old and badly needs a lot of attention. The yard turned into a minefield of the poop of dog owners who don't care to do anything better. The dirty dogs that run the place openly tried to cheat me out of my security deposit when I moved out. Looking for a studio apt? Look elsewhere.

The maintenance and management team is fast to respond to any issues. Location is excellent. Hoyt Sherman Place is right next door. Downtown (and Ingersoll) restaurants and shops are in easy walking distance. And yeah, they are studio apartments, so the space is really the only thing you have to think about. But considering they are studios, they are actually pretty spacious. I've been at The Brady Apartments 2 years so far, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an apartment in the area.

I always felt safe and cared about by Kimber (manager) and the rest of the people taking care of the complex and my apartment. It's going to be hard to move out next week as I've had so many wonderful memories in this apartment, but moving in with my partner is the only reason I'm leaving. I highly recommend this apartment -- and have had several friends move here over the years -- and know you'll love it as much as I have!

I had to cut my lease early and Venture does not allow you to break your lease. they make you pay a fine of 120$ and then make you responsible for the rent until some one else moves in. They will tell you that they will make every effort to find someone to take over your rent but they are quite deceiving. I sent out some ads on craiglist and university classifieds and people emailed me about the available apartment. I turned my possible lease replacement to venture and venture told them that there are no rooms available. It got a lil fishy when i was still being charged money after people were still asking me about the apartment. So i called venture and ask them if anyone have taken over my lease. they told me "no, no one have... and the room is still available... and they are still ACTIVELY looking for an replacement" I then recalled them to act like a prospective tenent... i asked them about the exact apartment and they told me it was unavailable and that someone is still living there. I got angry and told them i was the same guy who actually left that apartment. I got angry and some things were said I warn them i will sue them if i paid for another months rent... A day after i fought with them over the phone, some one took over my rent. These people are criminals and i would not recommend them! There is also several more stories i would like to add about venture but do not have the time to thoroughly explain them but here is a small list. -made me pay for a lamp that fell on me while i was sleeping -made me pay for carpet cleaning which i have already paid for -never set up my internet so i had to use the password from the previous owner. -the women who work at the office are never helpful - the communal washer and dryers are always stinky and are sometimes broken. i remember once the dryer didnt work and all my clothes were soaking wet. so i had to pay the washer and dryer twice. -Many many many more complaints Do not do business with venture. I recommend 3000 grand or live anywhere but not a place managed by venture.

Woodsprings suites in Ankeny is by far the one that makes us feel the most at home!

It's where I felt the safest and most like "home" the rooms are clean, it's quiet, and the staff is SO friendly and accommodating! I truly can say enough amazing things!!!

Curt with maintenance was dispatched to my apartment, he diagnosed the problem and determined an outside electrician and MidAmerican would have to be dispatched. While waiting for the outside vendors Curt not only kept me updated, put also brought 2 space heaters to my apartment (Since my mechanical closet was effected by the outage). MidAmerican and Baker electric arrived shortly after lunch and had the electricity on within an hour. I can't thank Curt enough for calling all the right people but also for his professional and caring attitude.

The downside of living at 3,000 Grand apartments is the community laundry facilities on each floor.

It definitely needs investment. Overall experience for me was quite good.

The minimal personal maintenance requests I made were fixed promptly, while the building wide changes seem to take a bit longer. Noise doesn't seem to travel, unless it is coming from outside. They seem to keep up updating appliance/carpet/flooring pretty regularly. Everything felt nearly new when I moved in. They offer many amenities compared to other buildings in the area - pool, medium sized workout space, library area, putting green, etc. ... none of which I seemed to use. BUT I did take advantage of the underground parking (added charge). It made such a difference in the winter and every day since I didn't have to remember where I parked. The neighborhood and location is great. I moved mainly because they don't allow dogs and I wanted one (and now have one!)
