Important Information About Wellington Apartments
If you're considering moving to Wellington Apartments, I strongly recommend visiting and inspecting the unit beforehand. Here are some important points:
Separation Between Properties
Trove Apartments are not affiliated with Wellington, despite their close proximity. When I moved in during 2023, I was confused because the building displays a large Trove sign. I wasn’t told they are separate. The Trove shuttle services both locations, with Trove on S. Ross Street.
Living Experience at Wellington... Apartments
I rented a one-bedroom on the north side for two years, near the leasing office. While the front office is clean, the building is old. I encountered issues like occasional sightings of mice and roaches, persistent marijuana odors, and very thin walls—meaning noise from neighbors and ongoing construction was constant. I also experienced frequent clogged drains with black, foul-smelling tar, and noise from children riding scooters in hallways.
Apartment Inspection and Expectations
It’s important to thoroughly inspect apartments before signing. I was shown a remodeled unit but was assigned a unit next to a dog park, resulting in early-morning barking.
Facilities and Amenities
The gym is outdated, poorly maintained, and many machines are dirty or broken. The gym bathrooms have a sewer smell.
Parking and Internet Fees
Initially, there were no visitor parking fees, but I was later told visitors would be charged $5 daily—without prior notice or agreement. The building recently added internet, included in your rent for an extra $68, with no choice of provider. The cost is likely higher than independent options, around $65/month.
Building Control and Management
Heating and A/C are centrally controlled, limiting individual adjustments, which can be inconvenient.
Staff and Management
Staff, especially the property manager, have been generally unfriendly and unhelpful. Keith was the only staff member consistently supportive.
Final Thoughts
I’m finally moving out this year and don’t recommend Wellington Apartments for those seeking a quiet, well-maintained environment. Always inspect thoroughly and ask questions before signing.
