1824 Defoor has exceeded my expectations in terms of apartment living in the few years I have lived…read morehere. West Midtown is a great location just due to the many amenities (bars, shopping, etc) and proximity to the rest of the city. The maintenance and leasing team are amazing, the grounds are pretty clean, and the gym area is nice and small for general use. The leasing team has also been great with putting on continued resident events safely, even amidst COVID, which has been so good to see. Lastly, the only issue that I have personally experienced so far is cars tailgating inside the complex at the gate. While there is not much that can be done about it, I do hope that it greatly decreases over time. I highly recommend 1824 Defoor!

Everyone was friendly, welcoming in the beginning, but that immediately changed once an issue arose. I will not disclose the issue on this platform because it is still a pending issue, I will come revisit later with an update. Since the issue occurred, I have been given the run around. The property manager is never available, the property management company is impossible to even get someone live to speak with you can only leave a voicemail which goes unanswered. The one person that is communicative is (Jay) the assistant property manager. But the matter that I am dealing with requires me to speak with the property manager, however due to the sensitivity of the information I would also like to speak with the Area Manager. But again everyone is unavailable. Just highly disappointed that what I thought was an amazing place to live turned out to be exactly what I was trying to avoid. I chose this community out of all others mostly because it is gated and gave me a sense of some security, however during my short time here the gate had been broke more than operable, which puts the community at risk. The incident that happened recently is one that I will not overlook or allow to go Ignored because my safety is my priority. Just not happy with the handling and the dismissive behaviors being received. Lack of empathy or concern. Haven't lived in apartments in several years due to safety issues and I completely regret moving here and will never ever again live in another apartment moving forward.

The layout was practical, and the appliances were modern and well-maintained. One of the best parts about living here was the location--it's incredibly convenient, with easy access to public transportation, shops, and restaurants. Everything I needed was just a short walk away, which made daily life really easy. The building itself felt safe and well-kept, and management was friendly and helpful whenever I needed assistance. Any minor issues were handled professionally, and I appreciated the overall responsiveness. Overall, this is a wonderful place to live. It offers a great balance of comfort, convenience, and value, and I would happily live here again or recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable living experience.

My wife and I lived here three years…read more The Good Grounds: It's a gorgeous property to drive into, especially during spring. Feels like you're driving into a resort. Overall, the grounds are well maintained. Lots of trees and flowers. Many units have rear and front windows, making them feel more homey than modern apartments. There are multiple well-maintained grills and patio areas, too, and two dog parks. The pool is stunning. Windows: The tall windows offer views of woods if you're lucky to have the right unit. The one in the kitchen was especially nice. Staff: Overall, the maintenance team is quick to handle routine problems. The office staff were friendly, as well. Parking et all: Parking is easy and abundent. Unlike other apartments we've lived in, they don't nitpick you with overreaching rules, like having stuff on your patio. The Bad 20 years out of date: Unless things have changed since 2024, the apartments have designs and fixtures that are way, way overdue to be updated. The kitchen and bathrooms are subpar - peeling veneer on the cabinets, cheap appliances, chintzy flooring, peeling tubs. I'm pretty sure the lighting and HVAC were from the 80s. Overall, the color schemes are dark and a bit dreary and there are areas of many apartments I visited that were dark in large areas. I hear some units can have hard flooring upgrades, but ours was carpet, which just look outdated. Some dumb design/layout choices: I had to duck under outdated, and too long ceiling fixtures. In addition, we had carpet extending to the bathroom sink! Why would anyone decide that's a good idea. One spilled lipstick and your carpet is forever stained. Unreasonable price increases: We moved there for the amazing price of our 2 bedroom and the grounds. However, our rent went up $600/mos in the three years we lived there. Others have faced that, too, and, as a result, many families had moved out and more transient, roommate situations popped up. For nearly $2k a month, there are more modern apartments in the area to choose from. Low ceilings: As a tall guy, the hallway ceiling in particular was so low that if I was wearing a hat, it would hit the ceiling light. Leaks: We had a leak in our ceiling (that was promptly fixed) but our neighbor below often had leaking from our bathroom. My mother in law, who was on the bottom floor of a nearby building, also had mildew and leaks in her ceiling. Stairs: If you live on a top floor like ours, you won't be able to get extra large furniture up the stairs as they curve too aggressively. We had to buy a modular couch, for example. No sidewalks: For such a beautiful property, it was annoying to have to walk on busy roads with no sidewalks, and there is ample room to put them in. If you leave the property, the long walk up has to be done dodging fast cars. Recommendations to the property manager: Update those dreary kitchens, fixtures and bathrooms. Install sidewalks. How about a bike locker? Many newer apartments have them and there is no room to store a bike reasonably in these units.

We lived there for 3 months and it was the longest, most excruciating time of our lives. The…read morelocation of our unit was advertised as a first floor but it was actually a bottom floor that we nicknamed "The Dungeon". It was dark and dreary and cell phone service was non existent. Upon arrival, the unit was dirty and the fixtures were outdated. The cabinets and countertops were old and many drawers did not function. The shower was dirty and many of the blinds were dirty and had a sticky substance on them. We had to do a deep clean upon arrival which was very disappointing. There are other complexes in the area that are nicer and newer for similar prices. I would look elsewhere.

My entire experience with this complex and the leasing staff were an absolute nightmare. I was…read moreassigned to work with the assistant manager, Toccara Wiley and she was everything but professional. My move in date changed three times due to the apartment not being ready and cleaned by the original date. The office has closed early every day due to the internet and phones not working, so I could not get in contact with anybody unless it was on their personal phone. The day of move in, I contacted Toccara to let her know when I was coming and got no response. Upon arrival, the office was already closed. I have gotten the run around the entire move in process. I already started services in the original apartment I was assigned, to be moved to another apartment that was worse than the first one. Not only was it not cleaned properly, there were dead and live roaches in the kitchen, chipped paint, and a water leak by the patio under the A/C vents. Once I gave my money order and she gave me the keys, she left. Even though she said she would walk the unit with me. I told her the issues, and she laughed as if it was funny. I told her I didn't want the apartment and she cancelled my entire lease. She also stated that there wasn't anywhere to put me so it forced a refund that I still have yet received. She was rude, unprofessional and came off as if she was doing me a favor. I have a 10 month old and I refused to allow him to stay in that nasty unit. My son and I both have asthma and the patio deck looked like it had mold and it was super dusty. If you're willing to accept anything, they'll throw you anywhere. They were not accommodating or understanding, refused to work with me and I had to spend extra money to change the lights from one unit to the next. Because I have to wait 30-40 days to receive the return of the rent that I paid by money order, my child and I could be homeless. If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Don't move here.
