London House

You get what you pay for, but there are some major issues: 1) The walls are insanely thin, so you can hear almost everything (God forbid someone throws a party, even in another wing of the building). 2) There are major plumbing and pipe issues. 3) Packages are stolen frequently. 4) Parking is a nightmare, with long waits and terrible street parking. 5) Since it's so close to Brady Street, you often see drunk people around the building at night, and there was recently a shooting nearby. Overall,... I do not recommend this place. Read More

Building manager responds diligently, secure doors & garage, absolutely love living here!

Absolutely do not live here, unless you feel like stepping over homeless people sleeping in the front lobby. When you try to contact management about problems they give you the run around and say they will get back to you then never do. The building is basically falling apart. If you’re thinking about paying for a parking spot don’t bother. People park for free in the garage constantly and the apartment has a 24 hour rule saying they won’t tow unless it’s been longer than 24 hours. Do not move... here. The only positive side to this whole complex is maintenance. They have been extremely solid and fast. I only know that because I’ve had to contact them so many times for the many, many problems with my unit. My only advice would be if you can live somewhere else. Read More

Lived here for 2 years and I love it. Units/building are very clean, cable included, parking available, dogs allowed, etc. I’ve had a couple minor maintenance requests and before I know it a member of the company is knocking on my door to fix the issue and they do so in a very prompt and professional manner. Anytime I interact with the office/landlord they’re always courteous and helpful. I’ve lived all over MKE but have never been felt so taken care of. Great place to live!

While I’ve only been living here a month, I’m really glad I chose the London House. It’s a great location that is super close to Brady Street, and compared to the other apartments/condos near the Lake, the price is pretty good.

A list of pros:
- Garage parking is available
- New, granite counter tops in the kitchen and bathroom
- My unit had been newly painted and had new carpet installed upon move in
- The leasing/landlord team (Lily) is awesome - very helpful and so responsive to any... question or request
- Great location, close to Starbuck’s, CVS, Brady Street and of course, the Lake
- Security, I feel safe here and in the neighborhood
- Pet friendly. I feel like almost every resident has a pet.
- Cleanliness - They do a good job keeping the lobby area clean.

Cons:
- Limited washers (5) and dryers (6), which are also pricey ($1.75 per washer, $1.50 per dryer). I honestly wish there could be in in-unit hook-ups. It’s really hard to find a time when all the washers aren’t full. I wish they’d consider a sign up sheet... or consider the in-unit hookups. I’d pay more for them.
- Not that this is a con (so far), but most residents seem to be college students or recent grads. Again, no issues with this so far and the residents seem to keep to themselves and I haven’t experienced an issue with wild parties on weekends, but it’s good to know this is the demographic.

Long review short, you should definitely consider London House! Read More
