I have enjoyed staying at the social on Hovey. We have had issues with a roommate and the social helped the best they could which we appreciated. The only reason why I gave 4 stars was because the internet was out for several days about a few weeks ago. We had to connect the internet company instead of the social doing it. It was getting to the point where one person said something and another said something different. It was finally fixed and worked after 3 days of it being down. I would... recommend someone to stay at the social on Hovey.

I love the location and the building itself, but the management has been disappointing. The leasing agents treat it more like student housing than professional off-campus housing and take little responsibility for issues with their rooming system—even when residents follow all instructions.

Communication is also inconsistent. We were told we had a week to decide on re-signing, then suddenly given only one day, and I wasn’t even informed directly.

Overall, the lack of respect and clear... communication has been noticeable since move-in. Amanda has been great—just wish more of the staff were like her.

Property Manager at The Social on Hovey responded to this review

Hi there,

We are so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with our management and communication. It's disheartening to learn that your interactions with our leasing agents haven't reflected the professional off-campus living experience... we strive to provide, and we truly understand your frustration with the rooming system issues, especially when you've followed all instructions.

We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the inconsistent communication about re-signing your lease. The sudden shift from a week to one day, and not being directly informed, is certainly not the level of clarity we aim for. It's concerning to hear that you've felt a lack of respect and clear communication since move-in.

We appreciate you highlighting Amanda's positive contributions. We will be using your feedback to address these concerns internally and work towards ensuring all our residents receive the clear, respectful, and consistent communication they deserve.

Please reach out to us directly at thesocialonhovey@trinity-pm.com so we can discuss your experience further and explore how we can make things right.
