First off...I have tried posting this on Attivo Trail's website, but apparently they don't allow…read moreany negative reviews (notice they are all 5 star). We have only lived here for six months, and here is what has transpired thus far. When we interviewed for these apartments, we were told that if our apartment didn't work out, we could just transfer to a different one. We took that to mean simply a lateral move. It hasn't been working out, so we requested a transfer. Now that the time has arrived, we are told we can move, but it will cost an extra $1,000 just to transfer. There is an aggressive dog that lives here, that has attacked our dog. And even though management knows about this dog, it is allowed to stay. I am a male in my seventies, and I was attacked by another resident. Again, that resident is allowed to stay. We DO NOT feel safe here, but are under contract. So now, we carry pepper spray with us.

Almost immediately, we discovered that the building soundproofing was insufficient, if not non-existent, and were plagued by noise from the neighbor above us. While providing lip-service to their desire to assist with addressing the issue, the property management team would do nothing to remedy the problem or uphold our rights as tenants. When we were at our wits end and asked to be released from our lease - Haverkamp Properties refused to make any accommodations. Our situation was intollerable, so were forced to break our lease at the cost of thousands of dollars.

This is a BRAND NEW…read moreapartment complex, centrally located in east village, within walking distance of so many great shops, restaurants and bars. There might not be palm trees and pina coladas here, but there is luxury and fresh brewed coffee. Fresh brewed coffee?!? Yes, I said it. In the lobby there is an amazing coffee bar, stocked with a machine that serves fresh ground Starbucks coffee, hot chocolate, chai lattes, and tazo teas. And did I mention this is all FREE? I've been drinking coffee here so much that I'm pretty sure that my blood has turned into pure espresso. This perk alone makes the rent worth it. The apartment itself is perfect. Appliances are state of the art and work perfectly. Ceilings are high and the apartment seems extremely spacious. Counters are sleek, every apartment is outfitted with a large deck, and the bathroom is modern with amazing shower pressure. I'm an extremely light sleeper, and I can honestly say that the best sleep I've ever had has been here. It's pitch quiet and I can never hear any of my neighbors (who are extremely nice). Apartment amenities include an awesome lounge with a pool table, ping pong table, two 90inch HDTV's and 3 gas grills. Absolutely perfect. On top of all of this, the apartment is dog friendly. The apartment manager is A+++++ Overall, I find it hard pressed for any of you to find a better value and better apartment in all of Des Moines!!

I've been beyond impressed with the creative, fun variety of resident events and contests - from cornhole tournaments, to a gift-wrapping station during the holidays - the staff does a great job thinking outside of the box and showing the residents how much they're appreciated. I highly recommend this family-friendly property!

Look elsewhere as there are beautiful new properties with gorgeous…read morefeatures that are far more worth the money than what you will spend here, popping up all around it. We spent three years at this property. The first year was pretty uneventful. At move in we noticed a dark line in the carpet along the fireplace wall. Not thinking much of it we just cleaned it ourselves. We also noted damage to the vinyl flooring. As the years went on we complained about a drainage issue with the drain located outside our front door and we complained about drainage issue with our patio. Every time it would rain in significant amounts the water levels would rise and it was a waiting game to see if it would come under the doors. I couldn't tell you how many times we complained about this. Nothing was ever done. Second year in we noticed our water-heater which sat in a black plastic tub always had rusty water in the bottom. Our dishwasher broke and an orange stain was left behind on the vinyl floor in kitchen which I can only assume was rust as the prongs in the dishwasher were starting to rust. At the signing of our new lease we asked for new floors and shown what they were planning for the apts as updates and told we would be at top of list for new floors. It never happened! The apartment flooded Three times that required extraction. The last time needed multiple extractions and still left the carpet stained. Winter: This past winter our front porch, patio, and driveway were constantly a sheet of ice due to improper drainage and snow removal. The only way to leave/get in the apt safely was by car. We had to teach our little dog to use wee wee pads. They had the nerve after all this to charge us for tile cleaning as they said their tile/grout was stained. I notified them of a drainage pipe that broke and to the day we left it was still duck taped. The patio roof sprang a leak and was full of icicles. Also, insinuated we stole curtain rods that were never there. I asked mgmt if they could find holes where I patched the wall after I removed them and of course they couldn't. Their water meters broke and now you are charged by square footage so we (2 of us) living in a larger apt paid more for water than 4 people in a smaller apt. Stay away from this place especially ground floor three bedroom apts! And lastly, we have photos to back up every word said!!! ************EDIT************ Information from www.preventivevet.com Not all that glows is dog pee! When exposed to ultraviolet beams, a black light, lots of things will glow white, green, blue, orange, or even red. Dog Pee will glow under this type of light, so will liquids and other liquid-like substances, such as some laundry detergent, milk, honey, canola or olive oil, ketchup, tonic water, and antifreeze. Black light is also used to detect mold and fungi.
