The Ardea Apartments

The parking structure is filthy and a health hazard. When we are at our vehicle and another vehicle passes, dust blows over us and creates a health hazard, not only from aspiration of dust particles, but also by blanketing us with microscopic organisms present in the dust such as dust mites for which I am being treated by a physician for the first time in my life. Since this building was purchased several years ago, the new owners put in new carpeting, but have failed to maintain its cleanliness... . The people who vacuum the carpet use improper equipment (a backpack shop vac) instead of a floor vacuum with beater bars which must be used on carpets. The time spent vacuuming on our floor averages less than 60 seconds to clean the entire floor, leaving behind debris and microscopic organisms from the many animals and people who reside here. When exiting the elevator, our floor often has an unpleasant odor, embarrassing when being visited by friends or family. For the exorbitant rent we pay this is totally unacceptable. Read More

Quality of employees and tenant has changed (a negative view) since moving into the tower over 4 years ago. Quality of management has changed in near term and probably the reason for my current critical opinion.

The Ardea is a well managed organization. I am happy about my choice for a place to live,

The Ardea is a wonderful place to live. The apartments themselves have unique characteristics and the location is 10/10 being close to the river and restaurants. The staff is exceptional and always willing to help and support when needed.

This is our second time living in the Ardea, the first time in 2010. We like our corner unit great cross ventilation. Unit is dated, no changes in the past 14 years, kitchen cabinets a bit tattered could use newer ones or a proper makeover.
Refrigerator and appliances could stand an upgrade. Remember appliances have about a 10 year service life.
