Highland Place

Good apartment. I recommend staying here, safe area and clean.

I love the location and how generally quiet the apartment is. The apartments are nice and have good appliances, including a washer/dryer in my studio, which is hard to find for the price point and location. However, the poor management over the past ~year has really made me dislike living here more and more. There are constant problems (stolen packages, car breakins in the "secure" garage, broken garage door that took months to fix, both doors leading to the street broken and/or open to anyone, ... callbox not working etc), and emails about these issues almost never get a response. A resident's dog attacked another dog and a visitor of mine on two different occasions and nothing was done. I hope that the new ownership/management can turn things around, but otherwise, I'll be moving when my lease is up. Read More

Highland place is awesome and is the most ideal location in the city

the management is horrible, residents trying to make it a nicer place to live are a nuance to them. Getting basic saftey stuff fixxed and stopping crime isn't a priority for the managmant

Notice how all of the 5 star reviews are from years ago? I have lived here for a year, and we have been through 4 different managers. 1 year ago, we had a great manager, on-site maintenance, and had issues addressed within 24 hours.

Now, there are ant infestations that take more than 1 month to get an exterminator in. Rampant theft, cars stolen and broken into outside, homeless people sleeping in the common area, apartments rented out short term. Management gets constant complaints and... gaslights, ignores, or puts a bandaid on it.

We had a neighbor who’s dog almost killed another persons dog, who stole packages, and caused a lot of other chaos, and it took them months to evict him.

The building is NOT SECURE. Your maintenance requests will be ignored, which is bad when the quality of the building is so low. Rental prices go up almost monthly, so good luck trying to stay.

“CAM” fees of building maintenance are usually $50 a month (you will be paying the owner’s real estate taxes, and any expense to operate the building), plus $50-$100 in utilities. Plus paying $135 per month per car for parking. Plus $50 a month for a storage unit. So add on $300 or more to the already crazy high rent prices.

If you love: maintenance issues that take multiple emails and phone calls and still weeks to be addressed; your car getting stolen; people breaking into the building and it never getting addressed; insane fees and sky high and rising rents; constantly new management that quits or gets fired every few months; new neighbors all the time because people move out or in almost daily, then Highland Place is the place for you!
