Zen Apollo Apartments

The building is so old there is constantly maintenance on pipes causing hot water shut downs. The entire building is infested with cockroaches and pest control has to come every week, but that only will help for a few days. The air conditioning is controlled by the building owner so the cold air doesn't work until mid may which is absolutely brutal and you'll be cooking alive in your apartment. The front desk staff is friendly, but management is so disorganized you have to constantly follow up... on little things you ask about. The hallways constantly smell of either garbage or marijuana. Sure the rent is reasonable for the location, but you'll be wanting out of your lease as soon as you sign it. Read More

roaches infest this building's outlets, pipes, vents, and floorboards. I am leaving my lease early after finding several crawling on me at night.

i started seeing tiny bugs coming out of my sinks a couple days into my lease. Once I realized they were cockroaches, I stopped using my kitchen, I stopped bringing any food into the apartment, and I got rid of all trash bins in effort to stem their growth. I even rehomed my pet to avoid having water out.

Yet the cockroaches in this building seem to... self-sustain on drywall or something else the resident themself does not have to provide. Last night I brought in a smoothie. Within minutes I had several roaches on and around the cup.

the pest treatment management provides makes the roaches scatter but it does not seem to kill them. i never saw an improvement during the weeks following treatment. However, i did have to stay in a hotel four times (one time management paid for the stay) after the treatments made them scatter all over my ceiling and by my bed. my current neighbors share similar experiences with the efficacy of the treatment. (independent pest control services i bought myself worked better, but nowhere near well enough to make it habitable.)

roaches are also in the concierge area, in the halls, and in the movie theater and sinks in the common area downstairs. At one point my fridge had to be replaced because roaches infested it.

the staff is super friendly and patient and genuinely does their best. there is nothing they can do. Pretty sure this entire building needs to be torn down. Read More

I have been living in a studio apartment for over a year now, I have had very positive experiences with management, maintenance, and the front desk team. All of my issues are addressed very quickly and maintenance usually comes to my apartment the day of my request. When I went to resign my lease, the office offered me the same rent deal I signed in 2020, which I appreciated considering I was hearing horror stories with insane rent raises and didn’t really want to move. There are always issues... that come with living in apartments (like roaches), however, I have found that management is very helpful and really nice in assisting to alleviate the issue. It is an older building, but I do think it is well maintained and personally the location is very important to me and I love living so close to the mall, the caps stadium, 14th st restaurants, and so much more.

Horrible, unsafe, unsanitary living conditions. Mold, water damage, roaches. Poor, condescending management. Water was coming out of hallway wall for over two months in addition to other places.

In my opinion, the best location in the city. Great staff, who's willing to work with you. I really don't have any complaints about this property. Highly recommend ????
