The Gentrys Landing Apartments

I've lived at Gentry's Landing since 2023. Until this year (2026) I'd rate it as "excellent" in all major aspects of apartment living.
First the pluses. The rent's reasonable for downtown St. Louis and considering how old it is (built in 1965) it's still pretty nice. The maintenance men are very good and have their hands full in handling major issues (such as plumbing) but usually quickly respond to individual tenant problems. Because of its age, it requires a lot of effort and money for its... upkeep and until recently, it seemed the owners spent what it took to maintain things.
Now the minuses. One major problem is one or more of the elevators constantly break down and are out of service (one has been non-functioning for most of this year). Gentry's said last year that they were getting new ones, but only the flooring has been replaced, which looks nice but does nothing to solve the mechanical issues. The elevator repairmen have been here quite a bit, but there's a limit to what they can do with such out-of-date systems and the last I heard was that they gave up on one of them. The others are slow to come to the floors (good luck during morning rush hour-a lot of times when one stops on my floor it's packed to capacity and I can't get on). They now "hope" to replace them next year but I'll believe it when I see it.
The hallways on each floor are now hit and miss. The hallway walls on my floor are dingy with many scrapes, stray marks and discoloration and many of the ceiling panels are water stained. Gentry's has two painters and I think it'd be possible for them to take a few days just to do some touch-up work, but apparently not. Several months ago, it was announced that carpets on each floor were to be replaced (that project has stopped after just several were done). The leasing staff sends out emails and posts messages when these projects start, but when they suddenly stop, there's total silence and if a tenant follows up, the story will vary as to why.
Until about a month ago, Gentry's lobby attendants would log in packages and put a notice in tenants mailboxes that a package had been delivered, and lock them up until it was claimed. Now they no longer do that after putting in an Amazon hub. It's supposed to be locked 24/7 but has always been unlocked when I've gone there. Read More

I've been living at The Gentry's Landing for over a year now, and I've had a great experience. First of all, Cara in the leasing office was absolutely amazing during my apartment search. She spent a great deal of time answering all of my questions, and helped to make sure that I found the right apartment in the right building. My unit was in great condition when I moved in, and I've had absolutely no issues whatsoever. I have a beautiful view of The Arch. There's plenty of closet space. I never... run out of hot water. And there are zero bugs. The building is clean and well-maintained. The staff all work very hard to make it a nice place to live. There is a door attendant 24/7, so the building always feels safe and secure. There is ample garage parking, and I never have to worry about finding a space. I love being able to just walk out the door and take a stroll through The Arch park or eat at any of the nearby restaurants. I would highly recommend The Gentry's Landing to anyone looking for an apartment in downtown St. Louis. Read More

Love this place! Great views from upper units. Large windows let plenty of light in. Kitchens aren’t a sad cubby like some studio apartments have. Maintenance is out quick for repairs. Management upgrades and repairs the building as needed. Balconies are BIG. Utilities aren’t because the windows are well sealed and building is insulated.

Public transit’s nearby so are a few corner shops, a Schnucks, some food places, a movie theater, urgent care, dentists. Gets noisy when there’s a sportball or... people drive crazy down 4th or the highway.

Rent was stable until a few years ago. Goes up often now. Signed a year lease after they raised it twice in a 6 month span. Increases are because they maintain the place. Elevators and plumbing have issues but are repaired and repairs are communicated. Read More

I lived at Gentry's Landing for a little over 2 years. The leasing office staff is nothing short of fantastic. Anything you ever need - they are there for you to get things done in a timely matter!
The maintenance staff was great with getting maintenance requested done very quickly. A couple maintenance staff members made me feel a little uncomfortable but thats a very small aspect of my experience.

To begin with Lexie in the leasing office tolerated my emails for 4 months! She was very attentive to my needs and concerns because I was traveling in from out of state and renting sight unseen. When I arrived she met me with a welcoming smile, took me to my apartment to allow me see it and sign my lease. When I stepped off of the elevator on my floor I was pleasantly surprised at the brightness, cleanliness and decor in the hallway. Everyone from the maintenance men to the front desk were... cordial ,inviting and seemed to know who I was. That was a plus after driving across country and moving in sight unseen. St Louis is my home but I have lived in several other cities and wanted to make The Gentry's Landing and downtown my last stop. The tenants are very friendly. The parking garage is safe.
