Grid District - 50 Franklin Apartments

Bancroft on the Grid location: Lobby smells, elevators smell, there’s basically always one out of order elevator once a week and NONE of the elevator inspections are up to date. I swear only 3 of the dryers actually dry the clothes but you still have to pay extra for it to work. All the washers REEK of mildew and mold and are covered in residue. They were never fixed or cleaned during the year I lived there. I paid roughly $15-20 a week for two people’s clothes… if you tour the place ACTUALLY... look at the laundry room and how disgusting the washers are. In the summer there’s a permanent smell of dog poop everywhere because they have a very tiny spot of sand for dog owners to take their dogs, but no one every picks it up. Yes the owners should pick up after their dogs, but it gets so bad and they almost never do anything about it, even though there are apartment windows directly above it. I saw a worker cleaning it ONE time in the year i’ve been here. Nice location, but I would never recommend it to anyone, and if I could go back in time I would have gone for a place that was cheaper, had more space and wasn’t a mega-landlord/property management company even if it meant being farther from downtown.

I lived on the 10th Floor, overlooking the city and polar park. I absolutely loved living here and wish I could have bought my apartment. Purchasing a home was the only reason I left. Any issues I had were swiftly addressed and resolved. And the location was primo! Walked everywhere. Tons of bars, restaurants, DCU center, Polar Park, train station and other things to do all within a 5 or 10min walk

The elevators break on their Main st building, 3 elevators lucky if 1 is working, staff may be the rudest I have ever met or worked with! Especially maintainer staff, customer service starts with employees.

The pipes in my my ceiling make rattling and banging noises louder than a passing fire truck seemingly any time someone in another apartment turns their water on. Over a week and not a single bit of on movement on my maintenance request. I haven't gotten a full night's sleep since I moved in because of the noise. Trying to sit on my couch in the evenings is unbearable with the sound of a herd of elephants stomping around in my ceiling because of the pipes. 2/3 elevators don't work and the one... remaining elevator only barely works. When I asked about parking before signing my lease, I was informed of the steep price and only after signing my lease was told there was no availability and had to approach a 3rd party garage myself. The counter top burners in my kitchen can't even bring a pot of water to boil. Read More

Constanly broken doors leave a lot of security concerns, elevators are normally 2/3 are broken. The management will blame everything you dont like about the way they do business on you.

If you like being disrespected living in a place of disrepair and over charges then you might actually enjoy it here.

But seriously do not even waste your time viewing or appling the owners do not care about you or your family. Theyll gladly take more money though.
