The Plaza Apartments

This historic building is sadly unkempt and suffers from a multitude of structural issues. It deserves better, and so do the tenants! How is it possible to rent to people, when none of the windows open, and the "vents" for the bathrooms and kitchenettes lead to nowhere? The stagnant air is suffocating as a result, because fresh air cannot circulate. Imagine an entire building full of tenants cooking, pets, dirty elevators, mildew caked laundry rooms, and bolted shut windows. Someone needs to buy... this property, and give it the rehab it needs! Plaza rental rates are great, but people deserve a better quality of living. We were promised the moon for two years, regarding rehab and maintenance, with no result. Had we known all the windows were bolted shut at the time of the showing, the lease would have never been signed. Read More

To preface this, I will warn you the management responds to complaints with empty promises & fake smiles.

Not one single window in any of the apartments can open. They are all bolted shut behind glass panes, & this was NOT disclosed to many people prior to move-in. The outside of these bolted windows are permanently dirty.

The AC/Heating units are poorly aligned with the walls, leading to leaks, & resulting in a horrific amount of mold build-up beyond reach. With the rain comes the activation... of this mold, & roaches. It is suffocating & nauseating. It is unmistakably mold & bacteria. Nowhere else in this entire county have I ever experienced such abysmal air quality.
The apartments are VERY POORLY cleaned & maintenanced between tenants.

There is ONE washer & ONE dryer per every 2 floors. That is over 10 apartments per machine. These machines are hosted in dingy, mildew-painted cement rooms, some with fast flickering lights & often out-of-order machines. They are obviously not properly cleaned & maintained as with the rest of the building.

One of the entry doors was broken the entire time I resided here. It is not installed correctly & stuck against the ground, perpetually ajar.
Yes there are key fobs or an access code required to enter, but I have heard a disparaging amount of stories by non-residents being let in by other unsuspecting residents. Delivery drivers, including random door-dash type individuals are often let inside as well.

The elevators are always filthy, unknown liquids spilled & dried across the floor. Sometimes this is from leaks causes by people having no choice by to cary their trash down the elevator & through the lobby & out the side door to an open dumpster in an alley decorated with trash.

Visiting the building is like walking into a secret slum hidden inside the cute little town of Hutchinson.

Plaza Towers does not adequately represent a fair standard of living or habitable conditions, nor does it represent the best interest of the community.
I am appalled that anyone could possibly live here. With rent rates lower than most of town, it's no wonder nobody seems to have successfully fought for better living conditions. Such a pursuit would cost time and money, something that the leasing company nor owners are appear to be willing to dedicate towards this property. Read More

I thought since these were advertised as remodeled they'd be different but they weren't good. I actually had someone showing me these apartments and the first one we walked into there was a man sleeping on a blow up mattress in the middle of the living room. I later found out that it was the owner of the building. I was shown 2 other apartments in this building and thought if I had to live here it would be on the very top floor. I spoke with another tenant on my elevator ride down because... the man showing the apartments left me and she said it wasn't horrible living there but there were bugs and the apartments aren't made for cooking because if you set off the smoke alarm then every alarm in the building goes off.
