Wellington Place Apartments

A bunch of black mold and management said I could pay my renters insurance deductible to go live in a hotel with my kids! I have to keep my toddler away from the broken glass. And my neighbors leer at me and dump beer bottles everywhere. One neighbor let their dog crap next to my door.

I recently moved from Wellington Place Apartments into senior housing in Des Moines. It was a good, but necessary, move for me in some ways, but I hated leaving Wellington Place. The facilities were beginning to show a little wear, but many improvements have been made recently. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. My experience at Wellington Place was very positive. I found the office staff to be helpful and friendly and I loved my apartment. It was a great location for me. The... area around the apartments and the parking lot were well lit at night and I always felt it was a safe environment. That was important to me. All residents have assigned covered parking; the one drawback is that there isn't a lot of space for visitor parking. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Wellington Place. I would definitely recommend it as a good place to live. Lee mas

Over the past 9 months the team here at Wellington place has been working hard to get the apartments looking nice, clean and making them safer. They have redone the asphalt in several areas, painted the buildings and addressed issues with noise and garbage. They spent a lot of time and effort adding better lighting and addressing safety issues. Most notably redoing any older decks. Recently they added a new security company that walks the grounds nightly. While not perfect, I can say that it is... a lot better. I had maintenance here a few days ago to address a door issue and they were kind, courteous and efficient. Read less Lee mas
