St. James Place

The quality of living for what you will pay for is terrible. My unit before I moved in was disgusting (I was under the impression that everything would be fixed and cleaned before I moved in.) However, the toilet had waste in the bottom that took WEEKS to remove, the carpet looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years, and the doors and windows are well outdated and will not close fully. The shower tub also had mold and mildew in multiple spots. Actually, the bathroom as a whole was disgusting.… The first 1.5 years of me moving in, there was loud "bass heavy" music that played until 2 - 3am. Someone also smoked marijuana to the point that the smell will enter the units (if I smelled it, others did as well.) But they couldn't (or didn't) do anything about it, even if they were 5 feet away from the unit. Parking is very, very bad even with the garages. People will park in the middle of the driveway, and in the middle of the pathway road itself. The tenants (at least some of them in my building) are overall loud after quiet hours, and disrespectful. Finally, the staff is sub-par. Nothing in this community is enforced. It seems as though they want you to say nothing, and just pay for a poor living experience. You have been warned, please consider another place to stay, no matter the "move-in" special they offer. People are constantly moving out every month for a reason. Read More

My move out experience is not trending well. Seemingly there was no way without giving extreme notice not to walk away without having to pay hundreds more despite taking a month to month and giving 30 days notice when I knew I would not renew! The clean out scrutiny is ridiculous and ungracious for what you pay in rent. I moved here from a larger city, and lived in apartments for 8 years between two complexes and never felt in jeopardy of losing any of my security deposit. I was told its highly… unlikely I receive my full deposit back. Terribly disappointed how my stay is ending. Read More

Overall, I have never found much to complain about St James. However, being a current resident and having been extremely frustrated with the service its been very hard to bite my tongue any longer. Let me start off by saying I loved St James for the fact that the property is overall quiet and clean. Its tucked away with minimal traffic from the surrounding streets. However, more recently, it seems that resident retention is the least of this managements concerns. They do not care about tenants… or issues that tenants bring to the table. The apartments on thee inside are getting very old and need major updates. For example, the windows have so much moisture in them and are not properly sealed that your electric bill will run up the roof. The windows are also not easy to open or close and often have broken latches. The vents appear to have NEVER been cleaned. They are very dusty and you can see the moisture stains on the walls from them dripping. The tubs and showers again are in need of updates. The tile in the shower is so full of mildew and mold that does not come clean with household cleaners. Personally, I had tile that caved in due to the moisture behind the walls. The maintenance team removed the shower tile and insisted on "drying out the wall." However you could see that the wood had so much water damage it was just gross. The whole bathroom needs to be gutted and re-caulked and re-tiled. Overall, once you are settled in you begin to realize the small things that you wish were better. And that is why I am disappointed in the service. They have repaved the asphalt and redid the entire roof and gutters but still have done nothing about the interior faults that residents actually would benefit from. Read More

If you want to be worried about getting tires stolen off your vehicle then this is the place to be. I love the location as far as being accessible to downtown and close to the Falls area. BUT not worth the worry and garages are small and hard to park in. If I hadn't had a run in with theft and Jeff not doing anything about it and claiming "nothing was seen on camera" I'd say for price it's ok.
