Northview Harbor - Grand Rapids, MI

I've lived here for over a year, and since a change in management. This place is pretty much a dump now. I'm writing this after dumping water on a charcoal grill these contractors were using who the management employs. The whole building stinks like smoke now.

Where else do I start. Tools and equipment are scattered all over. It took over a month for them to put batteries in smoke detectors in an empty apartment as it beeped.

The building I live in is frequently sprayed for roaches and i… see them more often than my family.

The four unit building I'm in I'm the only tenant. Their contractors stay downstairs. I saw inside one unit when I went to it out the grill due to the Patio door. Place looked like a mess. No wonder we have roaches here. So if you want roaches ask for this building. Smitter pest control has been to my place three times most recently a week and a half ago.

It's obvious there is effort but it's execution is lacking. As before we were scheduled for inclement weather they pre salted everything. Ok so that's very proactive but what about the other issues? It's unbalanced in what this company does in terms of progress.

You'll notice junk appliances and stuff from apartments being redone scattered like a child's bedroom.

I personally have picked up trashed dropped by workers after it was left in front of my building. I'm embarrassed to have someone I don't know come here.

They left the lock off my building over a month with transient staff and contractors.

The pool got new pillows though! I wish I was joking. We got "new" washer and dryers and two vending machines.

I find it ironic that effort was put into the pool before adequately addressing the other issues in summer.

The new company is obviously different. I hope they read this. I currently live here. I'll be making the complaints in person but this is also appropriate.

They clearly cant retain management stuff as I see new people often. I'm talking maybe 3-4 different people and I don't think they all work together, it appears like staff turn over. Same thing with maintenance staff. So it must be the next level management is the problem.

I look forward to posting this review on other sites and letting anyone I know or who mentions needing an apartment that they would be wise to look elsewhere. I have no intention to renew my lease and look forward to moving. Read More

Not safe here at all !!!! They have multiple contractors coming and going at hours of the night. No respect for current tenants. Not to mention how many people have keys to your apartment. Multiple maintenance employee have come and gone even since new management company. Again not safe and I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

I moved to GR about six months ago and reached out to Northview and was able to get a same day showing. I signed the lease the next day and am happy with my choice. The property is beautiful and maintenance requests are easy and prompt. I am planning on signing for another year since my lease is up in November. I feel safe here and appreciate that my landlord has been accessible and very professional. I am so glad that I get to call it home here.

It’s a huge difference since the new company has taken over. Staff is very really helpful. I was highly impressed with the professionalism, welcoming attitude, very clean, and very convenient location!
