Cityvue @5101

This is literally the worst apartment you can live at. It’s full of roaches, they don’t care about safety. It’s only cameras in the office. The management always has an attitude and never actually helps.

Look elsewhere. Any of the other complexes in the neighborhood would be better. 3 or 4 of the buildings on the property are in a flood plain and are currently condemned due to flooding that resulted in something like 15-20 people having to be evacuated by the fire dept. by boat. Maintenance staff are nice, but management staff are terrible. Lots of construction projects happening in occupied units at the moment without due notice. When one of these construction crews left an absolute mess in my… apartment, I called to complain and the manager told me that I was welcome to move if I wasn't happy the contractor's work. This wasn't a trivial mess, it was wood shards all over my floor, unfinished trim, leftover parts strewn about my bedroom. A real hackjob. On top of all this, they're raising rents in December despite the pool on site being closed since the flood. So I get to pay $100 more a month without access to the pool that was here when I moved in? Great. Like I said, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Or lose all your belongings in the next flood, your call. Read More

The only notice that the windows and patio doors were going to be replaced and that personal possessions needed to be moved away from the doors and windows was a letter attached to my door left the day before. However, due to being out of town that night, this method of notice never reached me. Either more advanced notice or even a text or call would have helped and I could have arranged to have someone I trust move my things out of the way as well as clean and secure my cat as requested in the… notice.

I am not comfortable having people entering my apartment and moving my things around when there is minimal effort or time given to letting me know this all was happening. The only thing I received during this time was a text on the 4th stating “FYI: You might see someone inspecting the exterior and window wells of the building this morning.” This does not AT ALL suggest that construction would be taking place and that things would need to be moved, work was going to be done, or someone entering my apartment.

Instead, I came home to to furniture being shoved out of the way and even more of my things, including furniture, being dumped on my mattress, ALL without my being contacted, other than a piece of paper left at the door the day before. I am still baffled by and disappointed in the City Vue staff that I was only given 24-hours notice of such significant construction being done in my living space and not even being called or texted with such a notice.

MOLD IS GROWING IN THE WALLS! For your safety don’t rent here. These are very old and need to be renovated badly. Mold grows in the walls and they just cover them up with paint. When it rains water will leak through the walls. The walls are so thin you can here your neighbor talking on the phone. Everything breaks constantly. The staff is very friendly and maintenance does temporary fixes. Black debris always comes out of the shower and faucet. THESE APARTMENTS HAVE FLOODED MULTIPLE TIMES. Save… your money and rent somewhere else. Read More
