The Estates At Fernview

Property is managed by Cynthia. She is nothing short of fabulous for this community. The property's location is very nice and the price is not bad once you consider cheap utilities (energy bill was an avg of $25-30/month for me). Only downsides are the outdoor parking and walking outside to reach dumpster+laundry, but these are a fair trade for the townhouse set up with home-y feel.

The manager lady has people to write positive reviews for the complex, they seem to be all written with the same style and language. She "arranges" for people to come in half way during your first appointment, like if it was happenstance and pretend to talk the place up on how great it supposedly is and especially how "nice" the manager is, like how with every new potential resident they call upon "The Girl and her dog "to be conveniently out front and talk stories about monthly pastry parties … and warm fuzzy times with management oversight, all these things happened to our group at our visit. The apartments themselves felt extremely small, old, were moldy and the unpopular paper thin walls. Then after she gets your hopes up she quickly mentions the big upcharges for water, rent and tons of extras, this is not a common practice for greater Cincinnati. This turned our group off immediately. Requiring you to buy personal property insurance is illegal in ohio, if I don't want to insure my furniture I don't have to, the complex by ohio law is required to have their own liability insurance and building insurance in case of fires, storms or accidental falls or injuries because of their fault on their property. That's how insurance works. Stories about whats available and when, but yet later on saying now they don't know. If you're not in the "click" here or wanting to have uninvited people in your apartment when you're not at home, simply don't rent here. Your experience may or may not differ from ours. I do have video as proof, talked to residents who all agree it's not all that good, it's not the Ritz Carlton but it's not the intercity. The really inexpensive price of rent here is usually a good indication. Vertigo. My honest personal opinionated review, thanks kindly, Retired Military Servicemen USAF! Who-Raw! :) Read More

This is my first apartment by myself. I love my neighbors and location in Cincinnati. I'm close to everything. The apartment managers are great and responsive to all needs. There are few affordable places in Cincinnati that offer central air but this place does. The location of the complex is around some nice houses and gives a suburban feel in the city. This is the lowest my energy bill has ever been. There are several closets
There are things that could be improved like adding a garbage… disposal, dishwasher, and a washer and dryer hookup. But ya know, you can't have it all. There has always been parking available but I don't like how I only have 1 parking pass so my guest have to park farther away after 6pm. Extra storage is hard to find. Recently the plumbing is louder due to high water pressure. Sometimes you can hear the factory and train but not too often. The property is well maintained which means lawn mowers are heard a lot throughout the summer. There are a large amount of cats in the area.
It may seem like this are a lot of negatives, but I wanted to put all my complaints so you know what you're getting into. This place provides a beautiful safe place for a young single woman to live and I would recommend it to similar tenants. Happy apartment hunting! Read More
