Beautiful historical building with breatht... Apartments

When we first moved in 3 years ago, we were referred by my sister who lived in building F. We moved into building A across the courtyard. It is very beautiful on the surface but do not be fooled. If you are lucky enough to live in building F or G, you will not have pest problems. Not being able to control the heat is hell. Literally! When it's 50 degrees outside, it's like 90 inside. Tenants have to leave their windows wide open or resort to putting in an ac unit (AC is an additional $75 per... month outside of the summer season and a $300 charge if you use it in the summer season). if you come view a unit, ask to see the laundry room! there are always dead bugs littering the floor. I'm talking about 3 inch bugs that can fly. One time my family was getting ready for bed and we heard a noise that sounded like a harsh ruffling of plastic. We were all in bed and from the top of the wall in front of us, we see a huge bug crawl out of the crown molding . Then as if on cue, a second one emerges from under the door to the hallway. We start freaking out and ask my husband to kill them but something moves at the radiator on the right of the room. It's a third and fourth giant bug. The one on the floor flies up to the dresser on the left and a fifth one joins the party at the top of the wall in front of us. by this time we are standing on the bed screaming and pointing at different ones while throwing our slippers at them. By the end of the assault, my husband killed 7 bugs. If that wasn't bad enough, maintenance and leasing managers never last here. My teenager has had a hole in his ceiling for a year that they did nothing about. It regularly leaks water into his bedroom. If you put rent into escrow while they repair something that has been neglected (by their team), they force you out at the end of your lease. DO NOT MOVE HERE! All the folks who moved in recently , did not renew their lease. We are leaving next month. Read More

Don't move here. This place went down drastically when new management took over. All of the loyal employees have quit. They can't keep anyone in the leasing office. The buildings are very old. Don't let the few unit that have been Renovated fool you. BENEATH the shiny new stuff is layers of mold, mice, roaches and so many leaks. There is no fitness center. The back parking lot has been unusable for over a year. They went up $200 on all tenants rents without warning while apartment are falling... apart. The pool looks great but it has peeling paint everywhere. They use to keep the grounds clean not any more. You've been warned. Also pretty poor extermination services you have to follow them around to make sure they service the whole apartment. I lived here for over 20 years it was great for Many years but the last 2 years was hell glad to be at an apartment now that cares about its tenants and take proud in the property. No secure place for your packages to be delivered so many packages are stolen. Read More

This place is dirty, moldy and disgusting. So blessed to have moved from this hell hole! The pool has paint that comes off on to your skin when swimming and the laundry room is always flooded! Do yourself a favor and spend an extra $100 to live somewhere safe with your family. You and your lungs deserve it!

I have been in Upsal Gardens for 5 years, but last year they put a new heating boiler. It was always warm, but since last year was insane! You need to open the windows day and night. And still hot here! Imagine to sleep with noises of cars, neighbors talking or yelling, machines working and all the lights of the street. I can not use the curtains because it need fresh air to compensate the hot, dryness, and suffocating feeling from inside. Even when we closed all the throttles to regulate the... heaters were hot. The reason is because there are pipes inside the walls connected to the heating circuit. So the walls are hot. The boiler was turn on today during the afternoon. We had to open all the windows and take our clothes off. Due to the radiators are old and in bad condition, I could not close the throttles today so, I put a request to maintenance. Let's see if tomorrow they can be here to help. If not, it is going to be another bad night of sleep. Last year we had a disturbing noise day and night because the heating. It was like a hammer hitting the pipes. I complained last year and maintenance replied they could not do anything to fix it. (Probably because the circuit was running). Some of the neighbors were concerned today about the noise coming back this year. Honestly, me too. Read More
