Glens of Northville Apartments

I lived there for one year. They are way too expensive for the Apartment they provide.Cheap Materials. And poor quality.

It seems there is way more negative reviews on places with people nitpicking every little thing they can find, this made securing a place difficult as it seemed everywhere was no good to live. After a year of being here, without having to ask maintenance replaced all the windows and sliding doors which are very nice now. Summer has started and my AC has gone out. Less than 24 hours after notifying staff through the portal, they were onsite diagnosing the issue and game planning a solution. The... place has been fantastic and honestly don't have a single complaint at this point in time. Highly recommend this community. Read More

We love the Northville area, and our neighbors were quiet /kind, which is the reason for the two stars. Rent was far too high for what we were getting though. My wife's bike got stolen (locked up in the car port, but chain was cut) about a year into the lease. Not a secure community (no gate, guard, etc.), and outdoor lighting at night is seriously lacking. Our previous apartment complex in Ypsi had a gate with a 24/7 guard for about $300 less per month. Management staff is also 50/50, and a few... times, left the office early before close (no reasoning).

Fitness center gets the job done, but equipment is clearly not kept up or broken (as of Dec. 2017). Example: Treadmill safety pin is loose and janky (can shut off mid run). Really just a "Hey we have a fitness center too!" marketing ploy. Being a runner myself, I will say the surrounding area is great for jogs. An upper-middle class neighborhood is less than a 1/2 mile away where jogs in the morning are great and quiet. Another 2 star reasoning there.

Poor building maintenance. Building fire alarm would go off randomly, sometimes in the middle of the night. No fire, or smoke smell in the hallway. Just poorly maintained. It would go on and on, until it shut off automatically. We would be enjoying a movie in our living room (which IS spacious with the high ceilings), and BEEP BEEP BEEP. For 20 minutes. Never got resolved in the time we were there. In addition, washer / dryer units would periodically go out of service or stop working. This was very frustrating, something that was shared by us and our neighbors.

Also, the speed bumps are outrageously large. Whenever a UPS / Moving truck comes in, you'll know it! You'll hear the truck's load rock from deep in the apartment... not to mention your own car / SUV when you pass over them (go slow!).

Please check the news too. A father and son died in the pool on memorial day weekend (or shortly after) in 2017. Was all over local news, and we had reporters right outside our building for a few hours. Very sad, but another underlying reasoning for our complaints. ... we never went to the pool, with this news in our head.

Luckily, we moved out when we did. I would seriously consider other communities before this one. Read More

Whee do i begin.First ill start by saying Melissa was very very nice and professional. To bad i cant say the same for her boss Marlene. I moved to Glenn's after hearing about the fire and rebuilt apartment buildings thinking it was going to be clean and updated. When i was finally shown the unit i moved into, i was told it was entirely rebuilt from the frames out however they must of used non-union because the work was garbage. Brand new carpet already had "rolls" and NO PADDING on a concrete... floor. The edges of the carpet were not even set right along the door-wall and you could literally pick up the entire carpet from this edge. I said something about it before i moved in and was told that they would fix it and use a molding along the edge as you should. Never happened. I said something about it again when i moved in and was told they would come out asap to fix this. Never happened and after 7 months i'm still waiting. On top of it not being fixed, I have millions of bugs coming into the apartment that i have to spry bug killer every week and it still is not stopping it. My water was lukewarm at best and when asked if they could turn it up to make it hotter they refused saying they have to keep the water heaters at a certain level because of the fire WHAT?!?!? The toilet would back up whenever the neighbor upstairs would flush his, The power goes out with the slightest breeze or storm, the grounds are filthy always, there is wires and cables hanging out of transformer box's on the wall (cant turn my hot water up but can have exposed electrical???) and the landscaping is actually offending. There is no grass around my building, just dirt, mud, and crab grass patches. They cut down a bunch of branches and trees back in February and they are still sitting around under the trees going into June. You can hear everything through the "NEW" buildings walls and even smell everything your neighbors cook. Do not expect snow to be removed or the sidewalks shoved and salted. SEEN SEVERAL SENIORS FALL ON ICE and once it was reported all they did was put a bucket with salt in front of the door FOR THE RESIDENTS TO SPREAD OUT. Read More

One of the absolute best apartment communities I have EVER lived in. I've gone from renting apartments since 2004 to even renting houses in between & I can say hands down, I have never felt more appreciated as a tenant & well taken care of. From the ladies in the office, Marlene (property manager) & Melissa (assistant manager) who knows every tenant by name & their children, considering the bus stop is right in front of the leasing office. I've personally watched the assistant manager go out &... assist two younger elementary children who's mother happened to not be there at the time of drop off, but because Melissa knows the community so well, she ran out to the driver & asked for her to wait a moment to contact the parent to see if everything was okay before the kids would have been forced back on the bus to return to the school. The maintenance guys are always out same day, even in the midst of this most recent VERY hot summer, handling A/C issues & treating every tenant as a top concern. Ever since this community was purchased from Hayman company formerly known as Woodland Glens Apartments by York Properties, which is now known as The Glens of Northville, I have seen nothing short of incredible attention, care & concern for this community as a whole. Also, just a few of the perks they are pet friendly & have a gorgeous outdoor pool w/ a waterfall & a 24 hour FREE access to the gym. Read More
