    The security guard let me into an apartment where 2 small toddlers were left unattended & he said nothing.

    Waterford Bluffs - 2024 eclipse view from pooldeck

    Waterford Bluffs

    Ohio City

    We stayed at Waterford Bluffs during Eclipse 2024. Our unit was a small, modern and clean studio…read moreapartment in this fairly new building in the Ohio City neighborhood. The building has swipe in security passes on the elevator and unit doors. Speaking of doors, the door to each unit is massive and secure. The unit was also pretty soundproof. We did hear people out in the halls on Friday evening but nothing loud and nothing that went on too late. Our unit had a queen bed, flat screen tv, keurig, washer and dryer, large closet, WiFi. The lobby is nicely decorated, there are three small work spaces, the second floor has a pool and clubhouse (I think there was a beer tap). Coffee in the lobby. There is a gym but I did not see it, and parking. They had everyone on the pool deck to watch the eclipse and it was spectacular. This building is across the street from the RTA, down the street from the West Side Market and Ohio City restaurants. This was a very convenient base of operations for our trip to Cleveland. We did not rent a car and were able to walk most places, catch an Uber.

    From the owner: Put yourself at the center of it all at Waterford Bluffs! This brand-new community along the…read moreCuyahoga River offers a beautiful selection of studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments within close proximity to Cleveland's best breweries, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.

    I lived here 9 years and it was horrible every step of the way. This place is infested with…read moremultiple species of cockroaches, there's mold everywhere, they do not clean the stairwells literally ever, and there's a water leak somewhere almost constantly, resulting in weekly water shut offs. The building manager is barely there, so ann old bigoted woman who cannot help you in anyway with anything is the point of contact most days, and the owners are beyond rude. The apartments come dirty, and then they charge you for it when you leave, even if you live there 9 years and leave it spotless. The pool burns your skin because the idiots don't know how to take care of it. The parking lot will give you a flat tire. The elevators break down monthly and it took them a year to fix the one. The list goes on. It's a terrible place to live and you should absolutely never consider this shit hole.

    My boyfriend recently started a fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic and we decided to move into 1…read moreOAK. The apartment manager, Brook, helped us find an amazing unit. We have a fabulous view. The apartment has lots of natural light and closet space! The whole complex is super clean, renovated and up to date! There is a great gym with a huge selection of fitness equipment. I can't wait till summer to tan by the pool. The best part is the location. I can walk to Whole Foods and do all my grocery shopping! Lakewood is filled with cute fun bars! Living at 1 OAK has made me love Cleveland. I HIGHLY recommend this building. Management also let me know they are installing a Starbucks machine in the lobby!!!

    This is a beautiful and luxurious, yet affordable property. The finishes in the units are all top…read morenotch. I've lived in apartments before where everything looked nice, yet when you actually went to use something, you could tell the property had chosen to go the cheap route. This is not the case with the Residences at Halle. You get what you pay for - a beautiful high quality apartment. I love the security features of the building as well. Key fob access, security in the lobby and only being able to access your floor. The location is also perfect. There's a restaurant in the lobby and even a small convenient store. I also love that the parking garage is attached to the building via a tunnel. The garage is a bit tight but thats expected. Lastly the management team has been amazing. Alex has been so welcoming and kind. I was moving from out of state and they made the process seamless and so easy. I may be new to this propery but I'm so happy I decided to call this place home.

    I'm a fairly new tenant but my experience so far has been fantastic. First off, the building is…read morebeautiful and located in a great spot. When we moved in, our place was very clean and completely move in ready. The apartments are beautiful and upgraded with brand new appliances. I couldn't believe how much space there was. Plus, the windows allow for a ton of natural light and we have an amazing view of Downtown and Progressive Field. The management staff, lead by Alex, has been amazing. They made the whole process, from signing our lease to our move in, very seamless and easy. There were a couple questions I had on a Sunday and Alex responded almost immediately to my questions, which you don't find at other buildings or rentals. If you're looking for a new place, I would highly recommend considering the Halle and giving it a tour.

    I thought very carefully about this review, as you will see below. When I compare Williamsburg to…read morethe other rental options I had (quite a few in a fairly large geographic area), it was the best of the lot. A very good experience overall. First the PROS: - At the top of the list is the STAFF! From the office staff to the maintenance folks, all involved are top-notch. I've never rented anywhere, or heard of a rental complex, with a more professional and responsive staff. And not just the nice sales pitch to get you to sign a lease. Every inquiry, every issue, was addressed immediately. Early on I had to change my move-in date several times, and they were extremely accommodating ... even nice about it! - Location, location, location! If you enjoy hiking and being near the national park, this place is for you. You can *walk* from your door to the park trails, bike to the towpath or to the Bike & Hike Trail. It's also located within the Greenwood Village Community Association, so you have access to all those amenities (indoor & outdoor pools, tennis courts, fishing lake, etc.) in addition to the Williamsburg-specific amenities. - Attached garages. These are quite roomy, and offer great storage place for all that stuff you won't be able to fit in the unit (see cons). - Extra services. The leasing office will do things like hold packages for personal pickup. I found this to be a nice security feature, so you don't have delivered boxes sitting by the front door. - Townhouse style units, so no one living above or below you. - You can have pets, even big dogs here! - A number of lease term options. You generally have a range of 5 months to as long as 15 months from which to choose. - A great place to hang out if you are looking to purchase a house or condo in Greenwood Village. There are many different associations in Greenwood, and the best way to learn about the pros/cons of each is to be IN the community. (Williamsburg is the *only* rental complex in Greenwood btw.) - Units are being re-modeled as they turn. I moved in earlier this year, and was treated to new countertops, kitchen fixtures and kitchen appliances. New flooring too. - Very pretty from the outside. You won't be embarrassed to have your family/friends drive by. Now the CONS: - Floorpans. Whoever designed these buildings had something else in mind besides ease of use or comfort of living. The spaces are poorly designed and chopped up. So, what *should* fit into an 830 sq ft space does not. (Thank goodness for the nice wide garages ... storage!) Getting things like mattresses & big furniture up the staircase is a challenge. Your movers may curse a bit. - Poor HVAC design, and poorly insulated. You will likely end up paying extra elec/gas to heat the place in the winter and cool it in the summer. If you don't mind wearing extra fleece in the winter, and hanging out in your skivvies in the summer, you'll do just fine. (To be fair, part of this is the nature of a townhouse. Heat rises, so they're warmer upstairs. I've owned three townhouse style condos and all had the same issue, though not to this extent.) - Can be noisy. You may hear your neighbors on either side through the walls. I was lucky to have reasonably quiet neighbors, but on one side the tenant had two small dogs that yapped often, which was rather annoying. (At least they didn't bark at night, so I didn't complain to management.) - Expensive. And you pay for everything (nothing is included in rent): water, sewer, trash, Greenwood fee, and of course all your own regular utilities like electric, gas, any cable. That's on top of pricey rent. But like I said, given the LOCATION, I doubt one could find anything else to rent (near the park and with an attached garage) for cheaper. (Maybe this Con is more of a gripe about the current state of rental prices than a "Con" for this development?) Knowing that there are no "perfect" scenarios, Williamsburg has earned a 5-star review in my book.
