179 Allyn

Lived on Allyn for about 2 years and do not recommend, I had to cancel my lease because enough is enough. Constant car break ins, packages are always stolen from the mail room so please use a family members address or get a PO Box. Forgot your key? No problem just yank the right door and anyone can get in. First year was rough and once Vesta Management took over it got worse. They aren’t flexible and are quick to send eviction notices. Due to the yanking of the right door, please expect to find… homeless people sleeping in the lobby or on main floors. The rugs are not routinely washed and laundry doesn’t work. Please look elsewhere for sanitary and safety reasons. Read More

There currently is no working laundry facility in this building as of 1.29.24. I am about to report to the city. The elevator also does not work and I almost peed on myself trying to get to my apartment. I am tired of complaining to the office. From what I heard they are quicker to file evictions than actually putting work into the building. Definitely moving this year.

I’ve been living here just shy of 3 years. It is extremely loud on 4 of the 7 nights of the week with The Russell being downstairs. The parking is very expensive and not given through the apartment, it’s at least $100 a month. People have been stealing packages every since I moved in. There is zero direction for the deliveries and most packages are just left right when you walk in the door for anyone to take. The management does nothing. They pretty much do the bare minimum - it’s always very… dirty in the halls and entrance. The rent is way too expensive for all of those things considered. Read More

I moved in a few years ago, the day I saw the place I fell in love. It was beautiful and well maintained. I didn't care that the sales lady coned me into paying way more that the going rate. I just loved it.

Pros
It is in the downtown Hartford area, so easy access to work, restaurants and bars (However, to be honest most people leave Downtown Hartford to go have fun). The apartments are modern.

Cons
Fast forward 2 years later after moving in and a new management group, the place is not the… same. When a problems arises you can hardly ever get someone on the phone to address the issue. The building is not being properly maintained; the carpets and elevators are covered in pet urine, the washing rooms are filthy to the point where I do not do laundry here anymore, the trash-shoot is broken a lot, there is dust everywhere, the gym does not get cleaned, etc. Whenever it snows they do a poor job of cleaning it up.
Overall, the price of living here does not match the quality one should expect.

P.S - walls are not sound proof, you can hear what your neighbor does and the noises from outside. Read More
