Dutch Village Apartments

I've been living in Dutch Village on and off for almost 35 years. The Historic buildings are not only quiet, but constructed with brick. wood floors plus lath and plaster walls. You can't hear a peep from the neighbors. The grounds are beautiful, and the atmosphere stately, much like an Ivy League University (Think Brown U meets Harvard). As a writer, I've written dozens of novels here and hundreds of articles. Even when I've owned homes, I've rented studios as a quiet writing space. If you're… looking for a party atmosphere, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for units with all mod cons, check out the new buildings. Read More

POTENTIAL TENANTS PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE. While my stay there at the apartments was okay there were issues with management along the way. When I first moved in a year ago I had to do a virtual tour because of COVID and being out of state. The apartment looked great so I signed the lease. When I finally got to see the place in person it turned out my building was a smoking building and was drenched in the smell of cigarette smoke. When I asked them about it, it was too late and I was… told I can move to a “newer apartment” because those were the only ones available but would have to pay more for rent. I had to purchase several air purifiers on my expense which attempted to help keep the smell out of my apartment over the year.
When I moved out I requested to do a walk through tour as it was recommended but when the manager came she said she couldn’t go through because there was too much stuff in the apartment still. I attempted to reschedule with her but the hours were unforgiving to a normal working schedule. She was not helpful and therefore had to succumb to having her go through without me there. I asked to be notified if there were any issues and only found out about them when I received my security deposit in the mail $800 short because I apparently had to replace the carpet due to pet stains I was not aware of or notified of despite vacuuming and shampooing the carpets before leaving. When I reached out to management they were not at all reasonable. My cat did not once have an accident on those carpets. IF YOU HAVE PETS BE PREPARED TO PAY FOR A NEW CARPET! The carpet that I had when I moved in was old already and when asked for proof that the stains weren’t there from a previous tenant they refused to provide it. I would recommend staying here if you are looking to be ripped off to help pay for updates to an old building that you should not be responsible for. Read More

Apartments are fine haven’t been updated since the 1980’s. Maintence is slow. Have had multiple issues fixing the outside lighting where it takes months to fix the broken lights. Hard to get in touch with management to have any maintence done

We have been living at Dutch Village for one year now while building a new home. It has been the best experience. The apartment itself is spacious and has tons of character with hard wood floors and a working fireplace. It never felt like an apartment. We have a two bedroom penthouse with lots of storage and closet space and it has a very nice flow to it. The surrounding residents are very nice and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. It is extremely quiet,we NEVER hear our neighbors and is set… in a park like environment. The buildings are maintained exceptionally well and immaculate, even the laundry room which has its floors washed every week. They also wash the hallway floors every week. The maintenance staff can not do enough for you. The management staff is the same. They are extremely helpful and kind and do their best to make you feel at home right away. The property is on the historical registry so it is maintained accordingly. You won't be disappointed and the pictures do not do it justice. Take a ride over and see one before you choose your next home. Read More
