Live Anywhere BUT here!
Midtown is hands down the worst apartment complex I have ever dealt with. Ignoring all of the issues that went down before move-in, once we were already inside and paying rent all of the real issues started. The new building on 501 S Ramsey Street was put up so fast it's basically falling apart at the seams. Within the first 3 days, our washing machine broke, next up was the oven and then our sink which flooded the entire kitchen. When I called in a maintenance request I was told it was labeled an "emergency" and someone would be there within 4-6 hours. Fast forward to 48 hours later and not a sole had shown up or even called and the cabinets were beginning to bubble. It took a very stern phone call to get any maintence man to show up and when he did, I was told that our sink looked like a "rushed job" and had spackle around the seal. Two hours later the sink was finally fixed and the oven had been reset. They also seemed to have "lost" my maintenance request for a door lock and I had to beg the maintenance man to send someone out as soon as possible since I was paying $50 extra for it (which blew my mind since your living with other people that door locks were not a given but they try to screw you on money every chance they get). The outside of the apartment complex was looking just as bad, emergency exit signs hanging OUT of the ceilings, elevator buttons hanging out of there sockets, beer cans littering the halls, the smell of weed emanating from rooms, the trash rooms get so full that you can barely even open the doors and dog poo all over the courtyards. Don't let the security guard walking around on move-in day fool you either, you will never see him again. The "garage" that your paying $35 A MONTH for is as wide as a Fiat 500, there have been more near collisions than I can count because 2 cars can not possibly fit down the rows. In addition, they completely sold out the garage, so it's becoming harder and harder to find a spot. The magical "security" guard they promised obviously doesn't check the garage because TONS of people don't have passes and park there all night and day. Come the second week of living here and our water was shut off because of plumbing issues for AN ENTIRE DAY, once that was fixed the water pressure has never been the same, your lucky to get a few drops out before it shuts off again. This week the internet was down for a 5-hour span, it's never-ending. My boyfriends mail key hasn't worked since the day he moved in. Over 3 weeks ago he put in a maintence request for a new one to which the staff told us they "will get handled when they can, they're busy" and to "ask your roommates if you need to get into your mailbox". After 3 failed attempts the key was finally received yesterday, nearly a month after move-in. The walls are so thin that you can hear music being played in a room 3 doors down, running water from the rooms above you and every word your roommates are saying in their own room, even if both of yall's doors are shut because of poor vent design. When you go in and ask to speak with a manager, they will never actually address you or your concerns. The girls at the front desk say "there's no manager here right now" but then disappear into the back and magically come out with a solution. Not to mention management has changed at least THREE times just since I have signed my lease. The magical rooftop pool only goes up to 3 ft deep so don't be expecting to do any real swimming, its more of just a lounging pool that isn't regulated. More times than I can count we've seen people come in that say they don't live or know anyone here and that it's so easy to get in because of it being attached to the garage. After months of searching, I FINALLY found someone to take over my lease so I am free from Midtown but I will warn everyone DONT FALL FOR THE PRETTY APPEARANCE, they're scam artists read more
