My fiancé and I have been looking for a two bedroom apartment in downtown Columbus for months. We…read moredidn't want to give up our walking distance to the major hot spots and pay the price of upwards of $1800 bucks for a smaller space. We found the rise after looking at station 324 in the Jeffery park area. Although the neighborhood is up and coming by the rise, we feel super safe with all the precautions the company took in developing the neighborhood for the apartments. After a long tour with many questions we threw at Ryann, our leasing agent- she made everything so smooth. She was never bothered by any of our comments and made sure all of our needs were addressed with honestly and without sales being her priority. We really appreciate her and the care that goes into the facility. Thank you Ryann and Rise for helping us fall in love with our home again:)

I have only had positive encounters with the staff, particularly with Kunlé from the leasing department. He has consistently exceeded my expectations by providing generous assistance, even during the last minutes before closing time. In summary, residing here has been truly enjoyable, and I would enthusiastically suggest it to others.

The floors are this faux grey wood that looks hella classy against the carpet color selection. The spaces are well thought out. My friends have a 2 bedroom and ot feels really warm. Pick an apartment with a view if you can, or you maybe looking at the side of a building when you look outside. Its a good patio space though, I think I just prefer to have the woods at my back rathwr than a building. Its a really quiet place as well, im not sure whats with the building numbering system but it needs tweeking bad. If your not from there it's a pain tryin to figure out where your building nunber is. It doesn't seem like their on any order really? Also, perhaps a camera system outside would be helpful, just incase something happens in such a seemingly packed parking area. I really liked the bathroom though, very spacious and the modern look and feel is vsry nice.

I lived at Lennox Flats in Columbus, OH and had ongoing serious maintenance and management issues…read morethroughout my lease. The most concerning issue was a repeated fire alarm malfunction in my unit over almost a year. Despite multiple reports to management and assurances that it was fixed, the problem continued to recur. At one point, even after being told it was resolved, the alarm malfunctioned again. This was a significant safety concern, and I also involved the Columbus Fire Department and City of Columbus due to the ongoing issue. During the summer, I also experienced repeated air conditioning failures, with indoor temperatures reaching unsafe levels (around 90°F). Multiple maintenance visits were conducted, but the issue persisted for months. I was repeatedly told the problem was "fixed" when it was not. At times, I was advised to use fans or open windows despite unsafe indoor conditions. The apartment manager at the time was also extremely unprofessional and combative in her interactions. On multiple occasions, she responded to maintenance concerns in a dismissive and hostile manner, including raising her voice and placing blame on me--for example, stating that issues could be resolved if I simply opened windows or used fans, rather than addressing the underlying problem. As a result of the AC failure, the leasing office promised compensation for hotel stays and inconvenience, which was never provided. Overall, my experience reflected poor communication, repeated unfulfilled maintenance assurances, and lack of reliable resolution for safety-related issues. I would not recommend this property based on my experience.

Bad: I was told there was a $500 discount on the first month of rent as well as a free application ($350 application fee) if your information was finalized before Febuary 4.

Don't bother emailing they will just ignore you. you are better off bothering the staff at the leasing office until you are reached by the company. Overall typical housing company leasing to students. Not above and beyond of course, but average.

During checkin the front desk agent told me about The Urban, it's an apartment Complex with 1 entire floor just hotel rooms. The Agent also informed me that all amenities are included in my stay, such as a public kitchen, Exercise Courtyard, Fitness Room, underground parking, bike rentals, Common Area for work or just lounging, public balcony and a rooftop patio. After a quick check-in process, I parked my rental car in the underground garage (floor P3) and made my way to room 628. While the room was smaller than expected, it was equipped with the essentials, including a Murphy Bed, small table and chair, microwave, full-sized fridge and freezer, stand-up shower, and toilet. Additionally, the TV allowed me to sign into my personal streaming accounts or watch live TV. In conclusion, I highly recommend The Urban hotel to anyone seeking a clean and reasonably priced hotel in the OSU / Columbus area. Walking distances: .6 mile walk to Ohio Stadium .5 mile walk to St John Arena .7 mile walk to Schottenstein Stadium

It took over 2 months but it was worth it. The apartment was completely renovated and even had new carpet.

From the women in the office (Brianne, Amy and Deann) to every neighbor I have met -- they are all so nice to my dog and to me. This is a friendly place. I loved the layout of this apartment and that's why I chose it. I had no idea all of the other things here I would love.

I work at home but have lost clients because they can't hear me over the impacts. When I reported this to management, their answer was that this is normal use of the unit, but I could give them thousands of dollars and move to a different unit at my own expense. It's literally killing me, which I told them. The abuse of my unit continues, and I can't work or sleep. Don't move here. Management doesn't care about anything other than money.
