300 East 17th Apartments

One elevator works if you're lucky. Pool/spa are either poorly maintained or closed. Frequent leaks or fully broken pipes in the garage. Maintenance will not respond to requests unless you continuously call the emergency line. Management won't be much help either. I can't really blame the staff as much due to understaffing and high turnover due to poor upper management.

This is the worst run apartment complex I've ever lived in. When I first moved here from across the country, they did not have my apartment ready. I had to wait two days for my apartment to be available - and when it was, it was dirty, and several broken items. The manager at the time was very nice about it, apologized, corrected my rent and her doing so made the experience better. I let it go because the manager worked with me to correct the situation. However, management has changed. Since... this change, I've experienced the garage leaking chemicals onto my car on three separate occasions. The manager won't call or email me back. They stated in an email that you must make an appointment with them to see them, but they don't answer their emails or phone calls. So you can't make an appointment with them. Further, when I waited outside her office to speak to her about the situation, she had someone in her office who appeared to be a friend. When a subordinate went into her office, she apologized to the employee and said "we were just chit chatting." The manager has no interpersonal skills and does not care to serve residents. I've also had problems getting a re-assigned parking spot because the management is unable to determine who is supposed to park in the garage. I'm really not sure why looking through the leases and collecting that data is not being done.

Further they do not fix broken amenities and have been unsuccessful at fixing items in my house (dishwasher and bathroom sink). The bathroom sink has flooded my apartment twice now - ruining/destroying my personal belongings underneath. Further, they refused to fix the call box, and I've caught someone stealing packages from my building. Again, they will not fix it. They also refuse to fix the broken treadmill, and the hot tub rarely works.

In sum, they do not care if they destroy your belongings, they do not care if your packages get stolen, and they will not call you or email you back. I would run from this complex. Read More

I deeply regret moving here, it fas been one issue after another. So many things are broken, management routinely just ignores emails about issues. Packages get stolen routinely.

I'd read up on this building on multiple review sites to make your decision.

BAD: I'm leaving after 5 years at 300 - I've experienced amenities down for months multiple times, limited elevators for weeks, accounting mistakes, arguments at the pool, fights in the hallway, misplaced documentation by managements office, stolen packages, non-residents in the garage, delayed apartment maintenance and high staff turnover. If they're talking about renovating something - just assume it won't happen in... your lease time.

GOOD: Price can be very good, People are friendly if you're in the 20-30s. Easy access to Colfax. Current staff if they stay seem okay.

Its not the worst place to live - but it will frustrate anyone that is bothered when common reported items go an entire lease without resolution. Personally I travelled for work a majority of the time - so moving just wasn't a priority. If you want a cheap place that may or may not fix things - with OK amenities. You can try here. Read More

I've lived in this property for approximately 6 months and would not recommend it to anyone.

I have had really poor management experiences since the application process. Both my roommate and I had to keep calling and emailing them to hear back about our application. It wasn't until the day before our desired move-in date that they sent us the lease agreement and application approval.

I am in the process of moving out now and again they are waiting until the very last minute to approve the... resident change process. Every single document needed and requested by them was sent a week ago and they haven't even started the screening process with the new tenant, who needs to move-in in exactly 4 days. Read More
