Residences at The Promenade Apartments

I am finishing my second year here, and just renewed again after a modest rent increase. Everything goes up every year for everyone (including homeowners), so I am OK with small increases. I see other reviews here about the unresponsiveness of management, and although I have had no major problems with my home, I disagree that they are unresponsive. I email or stop in to the office if I have a concern, and it's always handled in a timely manner.

I feel like I live in a resort. The rent is high... here considering it's the suburbs, but the building is meticulously maintained, the pool is fabulous, there are amenities I don't personally use like the community rooms, outdoor grilling areas, exercise room that's spotless and well-equipped. Yes, sometimes the elevator is out of order, and I...wait for it...take another one or I take the stairs! It's usually a minor inconvenience.

My apartment is spacious, very thoughtfully laid out with storage for all I have, and I have a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. I do hear noise from my neighbors when I'm in the hallway, but I do not hear it when I'm in my home. Overall, aside from the occasional gathering in the outdoor common area late at night, I feel this is a quiet, peaceful place.

I have great neighbors of all ages and family situations, and we have a friendly community. I have a dog, and this place is wonderful for her - lots of playmates, a dog washing area and two dog parks if I want to let her off leash. My life here is simple and, despite the high rent, it's still inexpensive compared to suburban home ownership. The building has nice retail, a Sprouts grocery, and restaurants in it. I go to physical therapy, and the PT is right in the building! Couldn't be more convenient.

I will live here for as long as it financially makes sense for me to do so, and I will remember my time here fondly. Read More

So much for luxury. Since I’ve been there, I seem to always be annoyed because something isn’t working. This week the elevator on my floor wasn’t working when I left to work Tuesday morning and no communication was sent out till the evening. Today is Friday and the elevator is still not working. They have no firm date as to when it will be fixed and when I called the person I spoke to Eileen told me it’s only been 4 days. Are you kidding me. I live on the 4th floor wear heels and have my work... bag with me. The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is climb 80 steps. Completely unacceptable and I don’t know why I’m putting up with it and am still there. Oh and I pay $150 for a parking spot - so being told to use another elevator doesn’t eliminate the inconvenience. Read More

On the outside this place seems nice. The apartments themselves are nice. The property is also equally nice. However, there are many unseen blemishes that the prospective tenant won’t see until moved in. One of the most poorly managed buildings. In the last 5 months there have been 4 managers. Be warned…..this place is not as it seems. Look elsewhere. I know I will not renew here.

Looks are very deceiving here. These apartments are cheaply thrown together with many little nuances. Once you sign your lease, you are on your own. Management does not help with things that are not working or broken and promised to be fixed before you move in. They are not luxury as stated and not worth the rent prices.
