District 1860

If you’re considering living here because it’s marketed as “luxury,” I strongly recommend doing thorough research and speaking with current residents before signing a lease.

In my experience living here, management has changed multiple times during my tenancy and residents were not given clear communication about those transitions. The recurring issue has been inconsistent communication and difficulty getting concerns addressed, which is frustrating given the premium price point.

There have... also been ongoing building issues during my time here. For example, the elevator and garage door have experienced repeated outages, which has affected residents’ daily routines. Security has also been a concern. When I first moved in, there was discussion of overnight or extended security coverage, but that has not always been present.

Cleanliness has also been inconsistent. The dog area is frequently not well maintained and there have been occasions where pet waste in hallways or common areas remained for extended periods before being addressed.

Communication with management has been particularly challenging. I have sent emails regarding concerns and did not receive responses and residents are often encouraged to discuss issues in person rather than in writing. In my experience, different staff members have sometimes provided conflicting information, which makes it difficult to understand what policies or resolutions actually apply.

Another concern is that the building’s community app appears to go back and forth on limiting some resident posts about building issues. Because of that, many residents have turned to other platforms to communicate with each other about ongoing concerns and share information.

If you tour the building, I would suggest visiting later in the evening, when things are operating as they normally would outside of scheduled tours. That may give a more accurate sense of day-to-day conditions.

You may see a response from management under this review saying they are working to address concerns or asking me to contact them directly. I appreciate any effort to improve things and would gladly update this review if meaningful changes occur. For now, this review reflects my personal experience living here and I encourage prospective residents to speak with current tenants and gather multiple perspectives before making a decision.

The maintenance team is slow on doing work orders

After enduring a night of sleeping in my car and almost a week of a malfunctioning front door-lock that made my home less safe and secure, all because the maintenance office couldn't be bothered to communicate with me about a five-minute fix that could be provided by the front desk (but instead chose to mark multiple service requests as resolved when the problem was still occurring), I certainly feel MUCH less valued as a resident than I did prior to Sunday night. When I actually, desperately... needed the much-ballyhooed "services" of this alleged community, I was instead coldly rejected and quite literally left locked out. Read More

My experience at District 1860 has been wonderful! I feel like I am living in a luxury hotel. From the beautiful living space, to the many community amenities, spaces and activities, to the welcoming neighbors and staff, I feel lucky to call District 1860 my new home!

The building is very good about keeping tenants informed about everything that is happening in building, also it is kept very clean.
