The Enclave at 1550 Apartamentos

- Building has been infested with roaches for years, management has been negligent about the issue but have gotten desperate and are now effectively charging residents for the cleanup.
- The building is old and comes with many inconveniences that you don't have to deal with on newer properties.
-- Built-in appliances are likely to be super old.
-- The kitchen sink/dishwasher flood each other when the other is in use.
-- If you're over 5'8 then you're taller than the shower-head placement.
-- 1/2... Elevators are down much of the time. Lee mas

Why are there no recent reviews? Since the new owners have taken over, this is a horrible place to live. They talk to us like we work for them, or worse, they own us. Asked when the pool would be reopenned and they said, "Go in there and you'll be evicted." What kind of answer is that. Pool sucks anyway, always dirty and usually closed for repairs. Room for about five people in it. Just a horrible place to live now. We have been here 12 years. It was great before this management company took... over. You should see our kitchen ceiling. Black mold from leak from floor above us. I asked the maintanence man to check and see if there was a leak on the floor above us, and he smiled at me and said, "Sir, there is no floor above you. We don't have a 13th floor." Seriously. I told the maintenance manager how to fix the leak and he said, "We would have to shut off the water to do that. We can't shut off water to everyone else just to fix your problem." Lee mas

We used to have a wonderful manager here named Nate who was amazing. But the company he worked for sold to the company now and they did not offer him enough money to get him to stay. The people here now could care less. They talk to us like we work for them. No maintenance. You should see our kitchen ceiling.

For me, one of the biggest reason for leasing this apartment was the friendly staff.

Over the past two years, this apartment has undergone a change in ownership and management, which is in the process of putting in dark gray colors to the common areas and raising the rent prices by 2-300 dollars for each of the units. They do not have plans to add additional amenities for the residents.

The friendly resident manager who knew each of the residents and their children, who cared to smile and work... to make your life easier is gone.
They've replaced her with a cheaper, lanky dude with a smug disrespect to people who've already signed their lease previously. It doesn't take much to realize that for this guy, we're just numbers on a spreadsheet.

The security system that once seemed impenetrable has proven not to be so. There has been a series of robberies of various units in recent months in this seemingly secure high rise, which has put everyone at unease. No new security protocols seem to be in place at the time of this writing.

There is no noise of neighbors, but the potent, pungent smell of marijuana from neighboring residents will easily seep into your living space and bedroom.

The only semblance of the once great apartment this place once was, is Nick, the head of maintenance whose smile gets a little smaller each time I meet him, doubtlessly from pressures from the new owners to cut all the little costs of each resident while maximizing profit for their new investment.

The five star rating that I once gave to this apartment is no longer relevant. There is very little chance that the owner of this apartment would change its attitude of this property, except for perhaps the slowly creeping vacancy rate as each resident would doubtlessly be disgusted with the changed nature of this enclosure and leave.

Please do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. Lee mas

The worst high rise to live in. You will fear for your valuables and yourself DAILY. Safety, is not important, nor are repairs. Like the last guys said, it takes MONTHS! Do not believe the hype about the concierge. They should be sued for putting in false claims like that. There are much newer and similar priced places around the area that make dealing with this bull feel like you were duped into a lease. I've done a few dumb things in my life, and moving here was the dumbest. So happy its... almost over!! Just hit the back button and forget you even viewed this place!! Lee mas
