Gorgeous apartments, amazing views of the city, and even better apartment staff! The managers,…read morecleaning crew, and maintenance staff are some of the nicest people I've met! Any maintenance issues have been addressed that same day and I really like how the managers are always available to talk to either in person or via email. I love being so close to downtown Cincinnati and within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in Covington. There are two very nice club rooms/lounge areas that can be reserved for events or parties, a huge gym that includes a sauna, pet spa, coffee/espresso machine with custom drinks, Luxer One locker package system, Tide lockers for your dry cleaning, I mean the list just goes on and on. You can't beat the amenities here!

The building is located right on the banks of the Ohio river, on the Covington, KY side, and features stunning views of the entire Cincinnati skyline. I like this location because it is close to Cincinnati (accessible by footbridge), but not as congested as Cincinnati in terms of parking. The building was completely renovated recently offers studios , and 1 and 2 bedroom units- all of which are spacious, with high ceilings and large decks that offer spectacular views. I love that the building includes many amenities; community terrace with firepit, pet friendly, a huge fitness facility, and 24/7 attended security in the lobby. I can't give enough praise for this awesome new apartment building!

I am a current resident and feel unsafe. I've had two packages stolen from the mail room which is…read moreunlocked from the outside (it has key lock but it's generally open) and from inside the garage for anyone to walk in. I voiced my concerns to the management team both times my packages were stolen and they did not take it seriously, in fact they made it like it was my fault or immediately told me it was likely the delivery driver who stole it. When I initially alerted them with the first theft, the manager stated she would get back with me once she reviewed the footage, she did not. I followed up and she quickly made it seem like it wasn't something she was concerned with. The second package theft they stated they looked through 48 hours worth of surveillance, which is unlikely to do in the 45 minutes from when my complaint was received by their office to when they emailed stating they had reviewed all the footage. They suggested that I should have my packages sent to the UPS store across the street. When asked if they could at minimum put up signage stating there was video surveillance to potential deter theft, he told me "they just take them down" Overall, this is an environment where residents concerns are not taken seriously and instead made to feel inferior for even asking for assistance. Theft is occurring here and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've read other google review with the same complaint from a year ago.

Do you like being told that your apartment should be left in the exact same condition in which it was first rented in when you are moving out, despite no good cleaners being in the area? Do you like staff telling your girlfriend that she cannot be in the pool in which your apartment is overlooking? Do you enjoy having to pay over $1000 in order to leave your apartment? Well, then look no further. This is a trash apartment complex. They façade as being luxury, when in reality, the amount of service that you experience is beyond unsatisfactory. To make it clear, they expect you to leave your apartment, after moving out, with no furniture marks on the carpet. Any typical wear and tear that may be experienced after living in this apartment complex for any amount of time, is decidedly up to you to pay for. Repainting the walls after hanging standard paintings and other furnishings will be prosecuted by the management. They will call collections on you in order to repay what is typically considered to be normal wear and tear by any other apartment rental complex. Avoid this apartment complex at all costs.

I must admit I have some bias towards the building since I live there. I had lived downtown about 11 years before I bought a place, I was not going to leave downtwon, so was waiting for an acceptable place before I bought something. I was looking forward bigger building with some of the admenties a larger building has. Mainly, some of the admenties that an apartment building has. I order online a fair amount and like having someone at the front door who can accept packages for me. Widmer cleaners stop by our building each workday and you can get a bag from them and put your dry cleaning bag on the outside of your door and 3 days later if will reappear cleanned downstairs. The night personnel will pick it up from your door. Other people I know downtown refer to Park Place as the downtown suburbs, I understand the comparison, being on 5th street it is still in the heart of downtown, but this area is very quiet compared to the rest of downtown. Also you do not have any other condos/apartmetns directly across from your windows. Another great thing about the building is that it is a very social building. Our Condo owners association even has a social committee. I gained another appreciation of this building when I went on vacation this year with some friends of mine who live in a large condo building in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, they had to get friends of their outside their building to take care of their plants, while they were gone.. I was able to get my next door neighbour to do it and if she had not been available, there was other people in my building who I could have asked.

The units are all updated and have modern lighting fixtures. Duke energy also has a program were you can type in your address and if your location qualifies they will send you 10 free fluorescent bulbs which is nice. Also included in rent is use of the gym, business center (with free internet, printing and fax), and community room located in the basement. Each unit also comes with a storage area also located in the basement. Heating and cooling is very cheap since some of the apartments are right above Walgreen's which is also convenient if you forgot a grocery item. Rent is very reasonable especially when you include all the extras (such as washer and dryer) which many other locations do not include or have a community set in the hall. All service requests are carried out quickly and the entire place is cleaned every week.

Appliances all worked well and I never experienced a problem. All units have balconies too, which was nice to get a bit of fresh air in the summer! I found the unit was in a perfect spot because you are very close to a lot of employers downtown (I had about a 10 minute walk to mine) and you're in between the OTR and the Banks as well as a 10 minute walk to Fountain Square, really the best of everything! My apartment was about 700 sq ft with a huge walk-in closet in the bathroom. I really liked how the space was spread out in the unit. The kitchen had a lot of counter space and there was enough space in the living area for a dining table and couch + TV. The amenities were nice because it was just what I needed so I knew I wasn't paying for more than I would use. There is a fitness center, which has most things you'd use, community center with TV, business center with printer, and each apartment gets its own storage unit. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Whenever I had maintenance requests they were very quick and responsive. When I had to move for work they were very understandable and accommodating to me. For downtown the rent very reasonably priced and my rent only increased by $25 each year. They used to pay for water/sewage but now I think they charge $25 for it. Electricity typically ran about $50/month as well. Really the only downside is that the apartments don't have a dedicated parking garage. You can get parking for about $80/month on 7th street (less than a block away) or at the new 84.51 building (not sure of the price). Bringing in groceries and anything big can be a pain, but there is an alley next to the building you can pull in to unload and another one you can actually park in.

Located in the Race Street Historic District, Groton Lofts was converted to apartments in the late…read more1990s after an eclectic past as a commercial arts building. With high exposed ceilings, industrial concrete pillars, and countless gigantic windows, you can feel the hustle-and-bustle of Cincinnati's heyday in your living room. Some of the stories that surround the building include Mrs. Potter's Hygienic Supply Co., which manufactured some of the first brunette hair dye called "Walnut Tint Hair Stain" in 1903. The ground floor was once home to Dow Drugs in 1890, the first drug store in Cincinnati to add a soda fountain, along with perfume, cosmetic, and tobacco departments. It was managed by a young woman, age 22, who graduated second in her all-male class at pharmaceutical college. Groton Lofts is a seven story building, with the first floor occupied by the Blue Wisp Jazz Club. Live music is audible in the second floor apartments, with the performance space being located under units 201 - 204. Blue Wisp is courteous though, with music ending around 10:00 on most weeknights and by midnight on weekends. Plus, it's smooth jazz tunes, nothing boisterous. It's actually enjoyable to listen to while waiting on the elevator in the lobby. The apartments themselves are very spacious, with gigantic open living rooms, and open kitchen with hardwood, basement storage spaces, secure access, and coin laundry on every floor. Units are available in one and two bedroom models. A secure parking garage is across the street for $71.00 per month. Groton residents also have access to amenities at adjacent apartments, like the fitness center at Shillito Place and the rooftop pool at The Gramercy. While the layout is incredibly roomy, historic, and offers a gorgeous view of Cincinnati and Piatt Park, there are a few downsides to Groton. - Due to the exposed ceiling, the bedrooms have full walls and an open ceiling. If you have a roommate in a two bedroom, you can hear everything from music, to doors shutting, to washing dishes in the kitchen. If you room with a light sleeper, this could be a problem. - The large, historic windows are amazing, but only half of them actually open. Two windows out of six in the living room open, as does one of the two in a second bedroom. None of the windows in the master bedroom open; they're all bolted shut from the outside. - Cooling costs get exorbitant on the top floor during the summer. Expect upwards of $300.00 bills from Duke Energy during July and August. Maintenance is on top of the game, responding to requests within one day, on-call for emergencies, and will help fix anything from a broken stove to installing a curtain rod. They even deliver any UPS packages that arrive while you're out. Management is very friendly as well: quick to respond to any problems, organizes community activities, makes sure the common areas are safe and clean, and most importantly, goes to great lengths to make sure incoming residents transition easily into their new home. Filled with turn-of-the-century architecture, tons of natural light, and a luxuriously large living room, Groton Lofts continues its tradition of attracting artistic minds to Downtown Cincinnati. One Bedroom: $670 - $925 per month Two Bedrooms: $975 - $1050 per month

I lived here for almost a year and the 1st weekend I moved in I immediately regretted it. The…read moreapartment above played loud music until about 3am. In fact, the loud music continued for months. I wrote, called and even stopped down to the rental office. My concerns weren't taken serious. It felt I was being labeled as the problem; but, as a tenant I expected a quiet apartment especially after the 10pm quiet hours. The 'Courtesy Officer' on some occasion said he didn't hear anything, some times asked me to go speak to her -- the final straw and thankfully my last weekend living in the apartment I had family over for the holiday and were enjoying a dinner and it was interrupted by a full party of about 30 - 40 people in the apartment above. So, at this point I called the cops. This was after the Security Guard came down and said yes they are having a party and she said it will be over at midnight. Lol. Completely disregarding the 10pm quiet hours. My family ended up having to leave and I waited for the police. Thankfully, the police responded and the party ended at midnight. There is no doubt if I hadnt called the cops, they wouldve continued much later. I have never been in this type of scenario and was so glad that that was my final weekend in the apartment. I moved out 3 months early and paid two rent for two apartments because the neighbor above was loud and its clear at this point the rental office isnt going to address it. As a tenant that is quiet, pays on time and clean -- I expected my concerns to be taken seriously. The apartments are beautiful, but walls are thin and it will be a NIGHTMARE if you end up with a loud neighbor. On the day of my move out, the rental manager followed the movers and myself as I moved out and watched as we moved boxes from my apartment to the truck. I had to ask him to leave as there was no reason for him to be there. He was making an already stressful day worse. This isnt a normal practice and when I moved in, he nor any of the other leasing people did this. So awkward and weird, maybe he thought I would damage the elevator or steal the hallway decoration. There are so many examples of disperity in treatment among tenants. But a final one ill mention is about a month after moving in I had ONE living room chair being delivered. The movers were stopped and told they had to go to the back. Fine. But, months later a lady moved a an entire bedroom set, mattress and several other items through the front door and she wasnt treated like I was. I stood there and watch not one person in the office stopped her or ask her movers to go to the back. Worse apartment experience ever and so thankful to be away. If you decided to risk it and move here take lots of moving in pics (pay special attention to the carpets they may try to pass that expense to you) and you may need to call the cops on loud neighbors -- because the rental office may not address it for certain tenants. All tenants should have a right to a quiet home.

We rented the Carnegie (2 BR, 2 BA) at The Drexel…read more Before move-in, we rated The Drexel 5 stars. Their staff leaned in during the sales process and we were able to quickly sign a lease. The square footage and in-unit washer and dryer were great for our family. We enjoyed the pool, too, even though we had to clean it ourselves every Saturday before swimming and the hot tub was mostly out of order. Why 2 stars? Read on. It's worth noting first that our unit felt out dated: * cracked laminate cabinet covers, low-end finishes; and * in need of a bunch of small repairs like fixing a broken blind, wobbly door knob and ceiling fan, mounting the dishwasher and a toilet, and unclog a bathroom drain. Not luxury as The Drexel claims, but livable for us. Our primary complaint relates to our unit flooding. Window/wall leaks soaked living room and bedroom carpets. We sent repair requests in writing and followed up in person... We got a wet vac and clean up ourselves to keep the space livable when the leak first happened. We continued to follow-up every time it rained and leaks occurred. We also reported what we believed to be black mold in vents... The Drexel never came to inspect or service our claims until we told them we were moving out early. We tried to break the lease amicably over the course of a month knowing our legal responsibilities under the lease (i.e. we owed money if they didn't re-rent the unit before our lease was up). The Drexel continued to escalate to the point where we needed lawyers involved. I could list a bunch of other reasons we're frustrated with The Drexel: stolen packages looted outside our bedroom window, refusing "trash valet" for a single extra box put outside by our elderly neighbor, dirty hallways, and leaks in common areas and other units... The Drexel may claim "bullshit" or staffing issues. We don't feel treated fairly. The Drexel stuck to the paperwork and didn't try to make anything right (not even removing $105 for cleaning and drip pans).

Gosh what a disappointing situation - came in, really liked the office manager, Melissa and Caleb…read morein leasing. we felt the pressure to sign the lease quickly as the manager said they had only one unit. After considering this and some health issues, we called in less than 12 hours to cancel (I left at 6 pm and called the minute they opened at 10am) - willing to give up my $400 application fee - this group is fighting and telling me there is no cancellation of the lease - Just not a good way to do business, its just so disappointing, you think you are dealing with nice, reasonable people and they do this. I am sad to say i would not recommend the Drexel Oakley to others after this experience.

Wowzer. What a great place to live!…read more Centrally located right in the Central Business District this apartment complex is the perfect location! It's nestled right by a little park and has tons of great local resto's and coffee shops nearby. The entrance is very safe and has a call only unlock method for visitors, which is great and a security guard is on staff at all times. The lobby is sup clean and tidy as is the rest of the building. Especially for being so old I was surprised at what great shape its in. Now for the creme dela creme... the rooftop pool. This is enough to make anyone want to move here. Again surrounded by skyscrapers is pretty neat to be sitting pretty on a rooftop desk soaking up some sun. Again, the space is super clean! All of the lounge chairs are in very good condition and the pool is kept very clean. There is even a fountain and a little grill our area separate from the pool with patio tables. This made me so jealous!! But the thing that I thought brought it all home--the landscaping. This must have cost a fortune! There are beautiful drapes of greenery all over the rooftop. From bushes and ivy, to beautiful flowers of every color. They really do a great job here and I was super impressed and jealous. Downtowners if you are looking to rent, get on this waiting list!

I moved here from out west without having any knowledge of the area or what to expect. Arielle and the Management Team were so helpful in getting me into a new place and recommending great places to meet people. The Gramercy was a great place to meet friends and even better place location wise to meet people in the area. I always look at reviews of new places before I move because I have lived in apartments that did not have a good or responsive management team. You will find that the team at The Gramercy is so responsive and is constantly looking for ways to help you enjoy your home/living experience. When I sent in my notification that I was moving, I received a call from Arielle asking about my move. She found out that I had to move for work and extended my agreed rent rate so that I would not have to pay month to month rates. The Gramercy did this not because they had to, and not because it would benefit them... they did this because they are a great team that cares about their tenants. If you are looking for a new place to call home in the downtown area of Cincinnati - look no more because this is the best option!
