City Place Detroit Apartments

This place has great views but you don't get enjoy them when you are battling roaches all day. They come from every opening to a wall. It doesn't matter if your unit is spotless! The elevators are always broken. The property management team does not follow through with their claims of improvement. I would advise you to stay away unless you have no other place to go!

DO not live here. Parking lot pot wholes everywhere. ROACHES.....Management horrible. Only thing about this apartment was the reasonable rent. DO NOT MOVE HERE.

Fire alarm goes off for hours in the middle of the night. Tenants disregard all alarms.
Parking lot a mess with potholes, often full with cars incorrectly parked for months, littered with trash and broken glass from car windows.
Hot water doesn't work in winter.
Elevators frequently down.
Washer and dryers don't work.
Dogs excrete everywhere. In the main lobby, front door, stairwells, elevators and even gym.
Hallways and stairwells littered with trash.
Ceiling leaks.

When I first came for a tour I thought this apartment was too good to be true. It's in a great location, nice staff and tenants, and very clean appearing apartments. Unfortunately, I was wrong. My first week at the apartment there was an odor in the hallways and in the apartment, the parking lot gets packed by 5 PM and people will park around your car so you can't get out of the lot, my mailbox was completely filled of the previous tenants mail and continued to get the previous tenants mail, and... I only had one package delivered and the front desk lost it. During my first night, there were cockroaches that crawled out from unsealed floors (due to POOR remodeling), the kitchen sink, and the bathroom sink. As you can imagine, I was horrified and contacted Danielle. She was quick to respond and my apartment was exterminated in a few days. However, the exterminators are TERRIBLE! I ended up having 3 extermination treatments and continued to have cockroaches every night. I also had large moths that would fly into the apartment from what i'm assuming was an open vent in the kitchen. I couldn't handle the lack of effectiveness of the exterminators and left immediately. Overall it was a terrible experience. If you're willing to live with cockroaches then this is the place for you! Or else, pay for a more expensive apartment with NO cockroaches. Read More
