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.

It took over 2 months but it was worth it. The apartment was completely renovated and even had new carpet. I had one minor issue for the move in checklist and it was remedied by maintenance within 2 days. Possibly more important -- this complex is very, very dog friendly. 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 was selling a house and worried about apartment living -- now I wonder what took me so long. I have not rented for many years, and this life is way better than I remember.

Worse, my upstairs neighbors throw 45 pounds over and over at the rafters morning, day, and night, above every room. I have cancer and need to sleep. 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.

Not only is the rent super affordable, but my apartment was just updated, so it is super nice! Being on the first floor, I was nervous about noise from my upstairs neighbors, but it hasn't been bad at all! In fact, I have had more neighbors introduce themselves to me and welcome me to the complex in the past week than I had my entire four years at my old apartment. In short, I am extremely pleased so far with my experience at Bridgestone Apartments. I can't wait to see how this new chapter in my life goes :-)
