The Square at 511 Apartments

Please READ THE DETAILS,

This is an UNSAFE place to live in, Gates have never been closed for two years.

***Terrible residents and guests and some of them are thieves.
***Despite paying Fetch monthly to secure our packages, some of them have been stolen and others found open in elevators and stairs (areas accessible only by residents).
***My groceries have been stolen with a case of water from the lobby, I left them to move the car to a parking spot, when I came back to the building they... disappeared.

***You might lose your car wheels as happened a few months ago.
***One day somebody who had access to the building came and ruined the whole lobby... Yes, how secure.

***Living in the Square 511 / Park Vue is sharing your home and the surrounding with some filthy nasty residents.

***The building stinks with the unpleasant smell of dead rats, mice and cockroaches, because of weed smokers, as well.
***Rats exist in the building, also, in both 11th and 13th floors, not only lower floors.

Terrible Services:

***Temperature, inside my unit, is 88 degree and it is May. However, residents have been waiting on the management team or on whoever is responsible to switch from heating mode to A/C for more than two weeks.

***Terrible maintenance management, for more than 100 units and three elevators in the building, one never functions and two most of the time, the others two are down.
***One day I had to take my groceries all the way to the 10th floor.

Wish you all the best and stay far away from this building and their terrible unqualified, unprofessional, non knowledgeable management team. Read More

The room temperature can exceed 90 degrees before mid-May, so this apartment may be suitable if you are comfortable with high temperatures like that. However, if you prefer a cooler environment, you might want to consider other options.

Believe it when I tell you, this is the WORST apartment I have ever lived in. If I could give them zero stars, I would. It is a waste of money in a place where you will not feel comfortable or safe. I do not know anyone that enjoys living here.

1. They won’t tell you this, but the entire building is infested with mice. You will be dealing with mice everywhere in the kitchen, bedroom, ACs, I mean everywhere.

2. Management doesn’t care at all about the residents. They are incredibly rude and... uncooperative.

3. The AC and heater always have issues, and we had situations where the AC is off in the summer, and the heat is off in the winter.

4. Maintenance requests take forever. After calling and emailing them for days/ weeks to the leasing office, leasing finally sends someone to come down to your apartment.

5. The utility bills are incredibly high that they do not tell you this when you sign your lease. They split the bill with all the residents in the building, and I’ve seen this at other apartments, but the prices are never this high. The last bill I had was over $200 for my one-bedroom unit.

Do not waste your money on this apartment! No name change or new manager is going to make a difference here!

Didn’t have to rent here to see how bad this place is. Had a tour scheduled and was completely blown off on it. There wasn’t anyone in the office and I was just stuck outside for half an hour in the cold in the middle of the workday. The leasing office was completely unhelpful. The lobby was a mess. Very easy decision to not rent here.

They state on their website as having resort style amenities and charge as if they were a luxury apartment. I moved in during the winter of 2021 and the heat was on by the spring time it was still heat, you have no control whatsoever of heating and cooling in your apartment and because of that the entire building is controlled by one HVAC unit. It breaks constantly and you’re stuck with 80° weather indoors when it’s just as hot outside if not more. I’ve called Emergency Maintenance and was told... it was not an emergency and I would need to wait until Monday when the offices are open to put in a request or complaint with maintenance. If you have pets don’t bother because they would suffer from the heat. If you try to open the window the airflow in the apartments are just terrible and only increases the heat indoors. The hallway is cooler than my own apartment.

The water is another issue. The hot water goes out, and when you try to turn on the shower the pipes start creaking like if they’re about to burst and vibrate the entire shower wall to the point where you’re uncomfortable taking a shower so you need to just stick with your birdbath . I’ve made multiple complaints and maintenance request regarding the issue and was told it was just the changing of a showerhead but that has not done anything either.

No matter how much you clean or spray you’ll always get roommates, mice and roaches. Sometimes they come from the hallways sometimes they’ll come from the walls that aren’t sealed correctly next to appliances. Read More
