Arlington Heights

Great location and apartment layouts, but be wary of which direction your unit faces if on top…read morefloor. We have our AC set to 66° for 24 hours a day ($$$) and yet it is still hot enough inside to break a sweat every afternoon. It simply cannot keep up with the square footage of certain units even with the blinds closed tight. The heat is radiating straight through the poorly insulated walls, you can feel it's hot just by touching the wall. Chocolate melts sitting on the table for an example. Again great location/everything, just select a unit carefully...make sure you tour in the afternoon around 5-6pm when you'd be getting home.

I lived here for about a year before making the decision to move out of state. It's just location…read moreand I would not consider these apartments to be luxury but they are well-managed. Several of my appliances (ac switch), lights, and fixtures (knobs) broke within 3 months of move-in. The maintenance staff are very kind however they seemed to be short staffed (there only seemed to be two) and low on supplies because the most of the replacement items were clearly from other vacant units since they had a short life. I ended up doing some repairs myself. Also they only fixed major items and seemed to bypass smaller ones. I suspect that's why the lights in my apartment went out fast because they were hand-me downs. If you are noise sensitive, as I found out, only rent from the center building because the train comes through pretty often and it's often loud enough to vibrate the eastern buildings at night and insulation isn't that good. The rent increase for the next year was around $100 on top of the additional monthly fees. The leasing consultant also did not tell me that the washing/drying units were not apart of the rental and would be $40 extra per month right until I was there to sign. When I first toured the apartment they were there and it said w/d on the site listing. This apartment complex charges a lot upon move out as well like wall marks and they even claimed painting inconsistencies were damage. The office staff were nice but the move-in/move-out just left a bad impression. The grounds are kept pretty clean and so is the clubhouse area which is nice. The parking garage is also spacious and there aren't any ridiculous parking policies surprisingly. If you are on the younger end or just more outgoing side, just know that it's not really that vibrant of a community despite being on west 7th. Might be a plus for some. If I could've done it again I would have rented closer to southside.

Recently, the Braden has partnered with a new towing company, Park & Tow Solutions. This new towing…read morecompany is predatory and will tow your car within a couple hours of your registration expiring. Definitely choose the Braden if you want all of your guests to risk getting their car towed and being charged $300 to retrieve it each time it happens. Don't forget the exact minute you registered it either, since you won't be notified to reregister when your registration expired. One example, my registration was set to expire at 11pm at night, and I happened to fall asleep before that since it was late. I woke up in the middle of the night remembering to register my car, and it was already gone at 3am. I've lived at the Braden for 3 years and never had any issues with the previous towing company and that's after registering dozens of cars multiple times throughout my time here. Aside from the new predatory towing company making it risky to have visitors over, more of the resident parking spots have been converted into paid reserved parking spots leaving less room for residents to park their cars. This also happened around the same time the Braden partnered with the new predatory towing company - not sure if it's related or just a coincidence. Also, there is a 3 day maximum that guests can register their car which wasn't much of an issue in the past since there was a free lot across the street - now they tow. Now, the closest free parking if you have a visitor for more than 3 days is a mile away at target. Also, the resident gate on 5th street side no longer works with the sticker they give you for your car, so you have to log into the app every time to open it. This hasn't been working for many months at this point. Additional issues with living at the apartment include having ants invade my apartment from the walls two times in the past 3 months even though I don't leave any food out, keep my apartment clean, and live on the fourth floor. I submitted a request for pest control. It took them a few days to come and spray; however, it was completely ineffective. I had to go to the store and buy my own liquid ant bait to finally get the ants to disappear. While I haven't had any issues with hearing noises through the walls, the ceiling is a different story. You can hear every footstep from your upstairs neighbor, and since the building is getting older some of the floor board have started to creak, so you can hear squeaking every time the person above you steps in that spot. It took a couple weeks for maintenance to come out and fix that issue. Not great if you work from home and hear stomping all day long. Occasionally there are people smoking by the pool despite that being against the rules. Also, the pool gets packed with people in the summer that don't live here with other residents clearly violating the 2 guests maximum policy the Braden has set. This is unfortunate since the pool is one of the Braden's best features - sadly ruined by these issues. Hopefully, you aren't into grilling down by the pool either since the grill has been barely working for the past 2 years. Expect it to take a long time to get the grill to finally ignite, and most likely not all burners will turn on. Worst of all, the temperature gauge is completely broken and falling apart, so you have no way of telling how hot the grill is. The package lockers constantly get filled so sometimes they will leave it outside your door for anyone to take. If you live on the south facing side of the building, expect constant noise from west 7th street with cars/motorcycles revving their engines and speeding down the street late into the night. Expect any maintenance requests to take a few days to over a week regardless if you mark it urgent or not. The hallways used to be nicely scented and cool, but no longer have the same smell that they once had. I have noticed this varies by floor. The elevators take forever and are constantly breaking down. Most these issues I could look past but the new predatory towing company is my final straw.

Upon arrival, I found that visitor parking was extremely limited, with only one available spot near…read morethe resident exit gate. Unbeknownst to me, the gate -- which moves vertically rather than swinging out -- had no sensors installed. As I was carefully backing out of the space, the gate suddenly and forcefully slammed down on my vehicle, shattering my rear window and damaging the frame. When I contacted the management office, I was informed that the complex takes no responsibility for incidents like this and that their gates are not equipped with any sensors. In 2025, it is shockingly negligent for a residential community to operate heavy mechanical gates without basic safety features, especially when parking spaces are placed so dangerously close to the mechanism. If the complex refuses to invest in proper safety equipment, the very least they could do is block off nearby spaces to prevent incidents like mine. Their lack of foresight, accountability, and concern for visitor safety speaks volumes about how they likely treat their residents. I would strongly caution anyone considering living here to think twice -- if they cut corners on something as basic as gate safety, what else are they neglecting?

Cultural District, Arlington Heights

We have been living her for about seven months now, and I wanted to wait a while before writing our…read morereview. Let me start by say that we have recently downsized, sold our house and moved into an apartment for the first time. So we were not quite sure what to expect. While showing us the apartment, the staff answered all our seemingly unending questions with smile, and were extremely nice,professional, and helpful. Our seven months here have been great. The staff is very wonderful, the grounds and building are kept clean. The Marq community is friendly and my wife and I feel very safe. Probably one of the best things is the location of the property. Being on the west side of University Dr. the traffic is not near as bad as it is to the east, around Crockett Row. Not saying there are no cars, we are in the cultural district, and there is traffic, but not near the congestion as the other area. There are road noises (this is in the city and we have an outward facing unit) but not as much was we were preparing for, which has been pleasant surprise. The added bonus is being able to walk to everywhere, from bars, to restaurants, museums and shopping. We feel The Marq is the real jewel in the Cultural District.

This place is super sketchy! There is an old guy(who looks a bit scary), who stands by the…read moreclubhouse and smokes staring at the pool all the time. It smells horrible, and none of us want to go out there when he is around. The office staff tried to have a football night when we made it to the National Championship(Go Horned Frogs!), but once I got down there the whole clubhouse smelled like an ashtray. I've read that the office staff tries to address other issues, but if they won't deal with this one I kind of have my doubts.
