I was a resident at the Charlton West Apartments from Oct 2010 to 2013…read morein a 3 bedroom unit. I cannot say enough great things about this complex, prior to moving in the unit was cleaned inside and out and immaculate. The caretakers are cleaning every floor of the complex daily and take very good care of the property inside as well as small details like the flower planters outside and keeping refuse out of the parking lots etc. The building itself is nearly soundproof, i wondered if i even had neighbors for quite some time since i never heard anything through the walls. If you ever have a maintenance issue and stop in to see Anne, she is quick to have someone dispatched right to your unit to have it resolved. I never had to wait for things to be fixed or repaired, they were always right on top of it. The unit itself was extremely spacious, the price was just right and it is in a perfect location. Also having the underground parking was wonderful in the winter time. The Management (Anne) is great, she always makes herself available and is quick to help out in any way she can. She runs a great ship over at the Charlton West!

Pros- - close to downtown St Paul and 35e…read more- grounds are clean - plenty of parking - quiet Cons- - staff is not helpful, not flexible and basically there to lease units - fixing problems gets drawn out for simple things and ultimately aren't fixed (dishwasher not installed properly, patio doors not locking, light bulbs always going out). - outrageous fees for missing a rent date - nickel and dime you on amenities like a storage locker. you have to carry a locker for the full term of the lease vs month to month. they are more expensive then a bigger unit at Public Storage and the staff isn't flexible, they would rather see the units empty than not commit you to a full term lease. - staff is hyper sensitive about roommates and or visitors needing a spare key for a 2 or 3 bedroom. they went as far as to document my kids names and birthdays as visitors for no apparent reason. seemed intrusive with very little value given - work out facility is very small and crowded - elevator is horrible. there is literally one elevator off the main lobby for a 3 story building and it is SUPER slow and sometimes out of service. be prepared to walk the stairs daily because of how slow the elevator is. - the property is super quiet and almost designed like a retirement home. very little to be desired in how the space can be used based on how it's designed. - the view used to be awesome overlooking the Mississippi, but now there's another version of these units going up right in front of that view so now everyone who has an Eastern view will get to look at other apartments vs nature. - the pool is super small. very little makes a crowd in this pool. I would give this property a better rating but the management company has struggled with the management of the property having several associates being replaced.

I don't normally write reviews but the way we were treated by management during the past 2 months…read morehas forced my hand. On the outside, this place looks like a good place to be, but live there for a minute and you'll find out just how terrible management can be and how they will nickel and dime you. We were in the process of closing on a home and informed management of our intent to move out close to 3 months in advance. Management let us know there would be a 1-month rent charge due before our move out. We completely understood and asked if there was any way we could pay the final charge on our move-out date. They said yes that wouldn't be a problem, the next day our account said past due, and 2 days later we were charged $5,625. I emailed them twice about it and they ignored me. BUT IT GETS SO MUCH WORSE We cleaned out our apartment over a week before moving out. Since we still had time, we emailed management to make sure our place was clean enough so that we would get our full deposit back. They sent us an email back with all the things they wanted us to clean better. So we came back on a later day and spent hours cleaning to make sure it was absolutely spotless. We even brought in outside help. What did they do? The property manager took pictures of the apartment from the first time we emailed them (10 days before moving out) when they knew it was still dirty, and then sent those pictures in - knowing we wouldn't get our full deposit. Then, responded to us saying we still had cleaning to do and gave us our keys back so we could keep cleaning - knowing full well they had already sent pictures in and that they were going to take money away from our deposit. Come move out day, we turn the keys in and ask if management would like to walk through the apartment together to make sure everything was squared away. They declined. We took videos and photos of every square inch of the apartment before moving out because we had a suspicion this could happen. Fast-forward to a month later, we lost nearly $400 off our security deposit. We were charged $60 for a sewage fee (we hadn't lived there in 2 months), an admin fee (a security deposit admin fee?), a water fee, and low and behold, we were charged for every single thing the property manager said to 'clean better' - WHICH WE DID. In total, costing us $250 as well as hours of time. Not to mention, we were charged for carpet cleaning even though we paid a $200 pet deposit per pet - another $400 total. We called and emailed the property manager and others at At Home Apartments. They said the pictures they got from the property manager were different from the ones we sent and therefore they 'stand by their employee's side completely'. So what can we do? They took our money, they wouldn't help us, and I called/emailed spelling out exactly what happened and they did absolutely nothing to help us. All we have is our ability to leave reviews. I wish I could give them a zero but a 1 will have to do instead.
