Somerset Place Apartments

Stayed here for several months and dogs were barking from multiple apts on our floor all day, every day. I've had 3 dogs and love them, but this place is out of control unless you have a dog and love barking. Management unwilling to take any action.

I've been living at Somerset Place for a little over a year now, just recently renewed. I absolutely love my apartment!!! Its chic, modern and beautiful, as well as the building. The Somerset staff is wonderful; I can't say enough good things about them. Plus this location is great! Sure Uptown hasn't always been great, but you can see the changes that are happening around the neighborhood and I certainly enjoy being a part of the community.

Somerset Place is a very nice building. For the most part it seems the renovation was done rather well besides a few steps here and there that seem to have been skipped as they were rushing to open. Included in that rush was a newly transplanted management staff who were trying to figure everything out as they went it seemed. There were tons of new rules constantly being posted through e-mail and letters dropped off at your door seemingly on a weekly basis. It seemed a little overkill, but as… with a new building and a management staff brought in from Indiana there are of course some kinks that need to be worked out. Hopefully now after some time has passed and the removal of one of the staff members things are working smoother. Read More

Somerset Review

I'm now coming to the end of my 1-year lease so I have a lot to share.

The building and units are very beautiful; probably the best in the uptown neighborhood. However, this neighborhood is very dangerous, especially Argyle street between Sheridan and Broadway. My car was broken into a few weeks ago. Busted the windows out! Glass everywhere. The front door to the lobby was bustedThe out a few days ago. I have had to walk around homeless people sleeping in the double door… section in the front door area. There have been several shootings in the area and pan handlers are very aggressive! So, my advice would be to avoid the neighborhood.

The apartment complex seems to issue new rules every few weeks with threats of fines. Such as no longer being able to wear swimsuits on the sun deck, can't bring dog on sun deck, guests can't touch the barbecue, cant wear shorts in the fitness room, guests can't bring their dogs, guests can't sit in lobby furniture while waiting for you to greet them in lobby, etc. each of these new rules has been issued by a separate written notice slipped under our doors with threats of steep fines and warnings that they are watching us on the cameras.

We and most people I know won't be renewing our lease. That's why there are many vacancies. The building seems fully occupied, but the turnover is very high. Read More
