The District Universal Boulevard Apartments

I lived here a few years ago and then moved away to a different city. When I was planning in moving back, I had liked The District so much that I chose to move in here again. The location is great. I like that it has a garage. I like the package locker system. I like the amenities. The layout of the apartment is nice. Those are all still true, but WOW have things changed. The apartment was filthy when I moved in. The floor was so dirty that it turned the bottoms of my feet black and I spent an... entire saturday scrubbing it (when I know, based on my lease, that they charged the previous tenant a cleaning fee at move-out). I have had problems with ants, and last night I found a cockroach crawling into my food. The tub was stained when I moved in. The dishwasher and clothes washer both had damage to them that was not completely rendering them broken, but was concerning. The business center and movie room are closed. Gates are broken. My air conditioner is gushing water and when I called maintenance out the first time, they would not believe me that something was wrong. It’s just frustrating to be paying this much and having so many issues. Lee mas

The property is dated and afraid to let my child play in the grass due to all the animals using it as a bathroom. the management only seems to want to help until they get you to sign the lease.

The fire alarm in building A goes off at least twice a month, often times at late hours or early in the morning. It's broken. The fire department begrudgingly shows up and turns it off. Maybe a dozen residents still bother to evacuate. Most people wait it out on their patio. People's dogs howl in pain from the screeching noise.

The property management knows that this is a problem. I'm sure they get countless emails about it every time that it happens, but they just. won't. fix. it. ...

Keep in mind - this building has had two fires in the past 3 years. With that in recent memory, residents still won't evacuate because the problem is so persistent that nobody takes it seriously anymore. God help us if there is ever an actual fire. Lee mas

We lived in The District for over a year and absolutely loved it. The apartment is well maintained. Maintenance requests are handled in a timely manner. Staff is super friendly (especially Amanda and Rachel). They just make the standard of living better every passing day.

They wasted my time , after calling and getting info and was asked to stop by to take a look, I go there wait 20 minutes only to be told that they can’t show me today cause they don’t have enough staff! What a joke.
