There is a new fitness center with an outdoor pool and 24/7 security with a gate to enter the community. The management company when I first moved in left a lot to be desired but over the last few months, the new management company has been incredible. Questions are addressed expeditiously, any concerns have been addressed and things are constantly improving. More events for tenants and all in all a better experience. I highly recommend it as a place to live, ESPECIALLY now that the management company is as good as the actual apartments.

Manager is great. Nice guy, cares about the residents, same goes for the other guys working there…read more Very polite and do a good job. Maintenance guy is the issue. Lots of things he's 'fixed' hes had to come back time and time again. He gets upset and acts like repairs come out of his pocket, all the while he trash talks his coworkers and boss. Can be very frustrating, other neighbors have said the same. Rent is great though, actually affordable, which is rare nowadays. Good place to live. We're very grateful for polonia park. Beautiful place to live. A blessing for sure.

These lofts are absolutely incredible if you're adaptable. The management is very communicative,…read morebut it is an older building with some issues and there isn't a large staff to attend to every small thing. The industrial heater is loud. There is no AC (I should note that I'm in one of the less ritzy units - others do have AC and probably updated heaters). Our ceiling leaked a bit, but nothing crazy. The floors are cement/stoneish, as the building used to be a brewery/warehouse, so there are some chunks taken out of it. Not necessarily a bad thing at all! But just know that when they describe a raw, industrial loft, you'll really be getting the raw and semi-gritty vibe. I love it, but it's not for everyone. Yes, I hear some complaints from other residents about things being fixed, but I have seen a ton of effort from staff (not only the building manager but maintenance as well), and the pros of living here are countless. You won't find this much space for the price anywhere else in the city, and it is worth it to be in such an amazing, artistic community, surrounded by murals. Trips to the Market for food on Saturdays or a quick beer at Eastern Market Brewing will become an easy routine. Parking is only $25/month. They throw a party on the rooftop for residents on Fireworks day, which is really amazing! I also love that residents are able to make the place their own (no strict rules on pets, painting, etc). The owner is laid back about that, and I feel very lucky to live here.

I'll separate review into positive and negative experience living in this place…read more Positive: residents are great and friendly. Lofts offer stunning views. The location is great. Never had any problem hearing other residents from our loft. Good security in the building. Negative: our shower was not working properly when we moved in. It took 2-3 weeks for them to fix it. Almost every month, they had to come in for a different reason. One time it was just to take pictures of the loft. So, if you have a pet then be prepared to be there or have someone watch over your pet. Communication with jim is just nasty. I had emailed him 2 months prior our move out to get an idea of move out procedure. He would not respond. During our moving out process we threw the stuff we didn't keep in the trash. He charged us 500$ for trash removal. This doesn't make sense because we pay a flat fee every month that covers trash removal. He WOULD NOT send us our copy of the lease no matter how many times we asked. He gave us a unit that has a washer and dryer that was left by previous resident. When we told him the dryer doesn't work.... He told us that WE need to fix it. When we moved out he charged us 150$ to fix the dryer. Why are we getting charged for something that didn't even belong to us and that was not even inspected by him when we moved in. On moving out day, I told him about issues with the loft. One major one is that ALL windows leak in air during winter. The personal heaters and his heating system could never keep place above 60 degrees. And during summer it would hit 90+ with no a/c. It made it unbareable to live in it. When I told him that he cussed me out and threatens to call the cops because he felt insulted about me bringing these issues before. Now, he refused to send us our copy of the lease and is refusing to give the security deposit back.

The Kales Building was originally named the Kresge Building. It is an apartment building with…read moreabout 26 stories. It is conveniently located downtown. It is a tall, white washed and imposing structure. It is appealing to look at. It towers over the local parks and intersections. Grand Circus Park is located just across the street from it. The building is within walking distance of the Detroit Opera House. The local People Mover station is also quite close by. I am not sure about the parking situation but they seem to have an underground parking garage. There are more expensive parking arrangements nearby. The building, as I mentioned, is attractive. The windows are very large and must offer plenty of light and interesting views. Right now there is a lot of construction going on nearby so movement by car is difficult. Local bus transit and the new trolley system are close by, so, not to worry.

The amenities are pretty good, the maintenance staff are fantastic, and the guys working in the garage are incredible-they go above and beyond every single day! The property managers are quick to help and provide necessary information. The building itself is clean, well maintained, and about as safe as one can get. There is a reason why my husband has lived in this building for over 20 years now, and it's because it's an excellent place to live!

Make no mistake, this is a Village Green Apartment now. All reviews, which were mostly positive,…read moreare really null and void after February 1 of this year. If that doesn't scare you away, then please read on. I have been a resident of Lofts of Merchants Row (LoMR) for 9 years now. Nine years ago, Detroit was a completely different city than it is now. It really was dicey in most areas. But in the middle of Woodward was a luxury development that the Schostak Brothers had the insight to build. And things were mostly good, and we had many long-term residents. Other than the longtime manager, who is serving time for pedophilia in the UP (and also a Village Green alumni), we had a community-based living arrangement. Fast forward to this year. In February, we were forced, and were not even told about, the Schostak's decision to bring in the much, much discounted and classless company, Village Green. My heart sank when I got the news. They have a lower rating than even Spirit Airlines (2.1) and they proved worthy of that mark when they arrived. We were without management for seemingly a month due to the horrible transition from the old to new management. When they finally did get it together, we couldn't even pay rent online for another couple of months! The complex is a very, very different place now. Here is what you can expect: * There is very little security. The back door is propped open often and the fire door is always held open by a bungee. * The windows are original windows and are single panes, leaded glass. Also, they are VERY drafty. * The noise off of Woodward is awful. I could be sitting 10 feet away from my TV, with a soundbar, and not be able to hear it even when maxed. This is a result of both terrible policing and the nearly non-existent sound resistance of the windows. * Maintenance now has their hands tied due to the inability to get much needed repairs completed by ownership. I have not had cold water in my kitchen sink for months and we went over a year before getting out windows cleaned. Again, cheap and classless. * The hallways now smell like a Turkish bazaar with the hallways REEK of marijuana smoke daily. I was recently asked by a client I was meeting with in the morning if I had smoked a joint beforehand. All I did was take the elevator. * As for the elevators, they are down A LOT. I have had friends and neighbors stuck in them multiple times. The parking garage has had BOTH elevators down for extended periods of time, thus no one being able to get to work. We have doctors, nurses, and emergency personnel in the building. They are terrible. When the contract for TK (awful elevator company) was set to renew, the old management assured us that we would get a better company. VG and the ownership chose the cheap route and kept them. It has been as bad as ever to this day. * What used to be an open door, friendly policy in the office has turned into an isolation room. Probably because of all the complaints from residents. They are equally unfriendly. * The garbage is no longer picked up on weekends, so by Monday the stench is overwhelming when using the back elevator. This lasts for days. Again, cheap and classless. * The garage staff are absolutely wonderful. They are always timely, efficient, and friendly. The only caveat, other than the price, is that your guests will not be allowed to park there if they have a pickup truck. I can recommend a few good places to live if you are downtown: * For high-end living, you have Water Square or The Vinton. * Bang for your buck would be the Alberts. * Convenience to the theater district, you have Woodward West. * For budget conscious, I recommend the Ashley. Whatever you decide, I would decide against Lofts of Merchants Row.

For 9 days, I lived with a plumbing failure, an overpowering odor, and the threat of mold -- caused by a pipe so corroded it had holes through the wall, hidden behind my kitchen for years. Management's initial response was to drywall over the area without a mold assessment or proper remediation. When I escalated the issue, a manager admitted they would not allow their own family to live in these conditions -- yet expected me to. I made multiple attempts to resolve this privately and did not want it to escalate to this point. This is not about money. This is about humane treatment -- for me, and for the many senior residents in this building who deserve safe and dignified living conditions. AMP Residential: you cannot invoke greatness as a selling point and deliver neglect as a standard. My peace -- and the health of this community -- is non-negotiable. I am still awaiting a resolution.
