Chimney Hill

I have been a resident of Chimney Hill since September of 2023 and it was been amazing experience. Robert the maintenance supervisor always complete my work order efficiently and I have not had any pest issues. Thank you Chimney Hill Apartments for such a great experience. LOVE HERE!!!

Do not rent here, I wish I would have listened to the resident at the leasing office before I signed my lease. This is a BUG INFESTED property. There is an issue of heavy earwigs, spiders, flies, and rodents. They will tell you an exterminator will come out 1-2 times a week, and won’t. If you don’t want to hear your neighbors conversation or even using the bathroom then this is not the place for you the walls are extremely thin, you can hear everything. The apartments are poorly built, the door… of my apartment was put on side ways and was never fixed. There is water leakage issues in the units which is also causing the ear wig issues. The dishwasher breaks about 5x a month. The rent is overly high for the quality and amount of issue the apartment brings, and if you plan on having a life event where you are late on your rent don’t expect any help from the leasing office they are money hungry and add fees on your account with no sympathy. This is the worst property I’ve stayed every single day there was a new bugs to get rid of in my home. Read More

My roommate and I lived at Chimney Hill Apartments for 2 years and though the move in process was easy during COVID times, that's about the only positive thing I can say about this place. In the time that we lived there, we submitted over 20+ maintenance requests for various issues, ie our water heater leaking, the front steps to our door falling apart, MAJOR water leaks coming from the ceiling in the mater bedroom, dishwasher leaking and being replaced with a new one that was even worse and… more.

I will agree with the other reviews as well, the walls are thin and the bugs are bad, even living on a second story unit. We had so many bee's, we couldn't use our balcony (that was wobbly and molded over). Also, after the first year, our rent was raised by $100 which was manageable. Around the time to resign, they were asking for $500 more than our initial rent was. I understand times are tough but asking tenants to pay 30% more in rent during these times is absolutely unheard of.

In addition to these issues WHILE we lived there, it took almost 3 months for us to receive our security deposit. We moved out May 31st and just received our meniscal security deposit check on August 11th. After asking about it multiple times, the office sited "extended mail time during holidays", "maybe it got lost in the mail", "did you give us the right address", "ill check with accounting to see if it was cashed".... to finally be told a new check would be cut, to only get it over a month later, 10 days after the date on the check.

I know it's hard to find rent for a decent price anywhere in metro Detroit right now, but PLEASE read this, save yourself the headache and spend your money elsewhere. Read More

Overpriced. Leaking pipes and ceilings. Drywall nightmares mask mold from repeat leaks. Downstairs neighbor ceiling collapsed from my pipes leaking into their unit, and our own vaulted ceiling is water damaged w/severe caving, significant depressions and areas where poor drywall jobs mask many areas that prev collapsed & heading to soon again. They say it’s cosmetic so they only replace when total collapse. Thin walls. Weed smoke from neighbors fills both bathrms, & hallway to kids rm. Earwig… infestation. Pest control ineffective but charged monthly. Concierge trash charge monthly but you take to curb yourself and seldom comes on time. Limited to 1 pickup/wk, 1 can allowed and fees if you have overflowing trash even when no pickup is done once a wk as promised. Told to put trash in garage if exceeds the 1 can until the once a week pickup. Tow stickers on many cars weekly for invalid reasons. Holes in windows and walls make temp control harder in upstairs units. Read More
