Whoever said these apartments are affordable are rich and single 350 non refundable pet deposit and a non refundable application fee tells me off rip they only care about money cause the apartments near them are not only cheaper but they give back security deposits

Don't believe the positive reviews. Elevators out for over a week. People stranded. Rats, mice, bugs. Water often off.
moved into an apartment that had a long standing problem with water damage.Uninhabitable unit. Had to live in apt w/my cats during major construction. wall had to be torn down in bathroom after assured it was fixed. Then laminate flooring replaced 2 weeks later because damaged from water for unknown period of time. No sanitizing, blowers, dehumidifier, treatment of mold. Discount of rent x2 months & key to another unit to use shower is not solution when you pull up with your moving truck & told still not ready.
Matt has been patient & tries to make things better for residents even tho taking care of 2 old properties (1oak & Coronet Club) best he can. Harbor View is 3rd property owned across the street.I suggest you avoid this end of town if you want quiet neighborhood feel in Lakewood. 1Oak does have a nice pool. There's underground parking spots. Parking is extra fee everywhere on top of rent. But major bus stop right out front. Have to Pay for laundry card ($30?). No bed bugs thus far, which is a problem for other multifamily properties. I saw a lot of places in Lakewood before renting here. Beware of hidden fees.didn't have to pay for grab bars needed in bathroom, which is unusual.
52 days later, moved me to a different unit on the Rocky River side of the building. The other unit I was in has been rented. Windows were sealed. Unsure if other problems addressed. Yikes! Matt personally took care of moving my stuff from one unit to another. That was above & beyond. Matt & Jose (maint) are so kind. Mary seems to care & is kind.
Idky People stay a long time. They like it here, have nowhere else to go, only need a bed, a place to park car & they can afford, or it's just temporary.
It's one injury after another for me. Injured my shoulder opening window in bedroom! Too sick to get examined. I'm tired of going to get medical care because of stuff that could be prevented. It's hard to receive Visiting Nurse services & recover under circumstances. I'm not alone in this situation. Lots of people have problem units here & Lakewood in general. Fifty-one percent of City residents are renters (or 51% of properties are rentals). Do They just tolerate it or complain to other residents? I just choose to tell you like it is based on obs and exp. MANAGEMENT (whoever that is) want me GONE. Retaliation. Felt pressure to fix review. Censor it. I got another nastygram, unsigned, insinuating such
As Renters, get to Know landlord Tenant laws, especially ur rights!! Fair Housing, too. I just want to settle in. I'm living in bedroom. I Don't / can't use rest of 2/1 apt. Limbo. Not unpacked.
It's a temporary move for me.
Consistent with age of building are methods of Communication with residents and building security. I think they are afraid to put anything in writing to cover their assets. F2f communication & logging problems & maintenance requests, in public displayed book by coffee in lobby. They come to your unit otherwise. Please Stop knocking on my door & bothering me. Use technology to communicate to residents.
Opinion of mgmt (won't tell me his name/property management company or owner info, name) is that I should shut up & get out. I know It could be a whole lot worse. Landlords prevail in Ohio. High demand area. Overpriced. I want to have "peaceful enjoyment" of my unit, but it hasn't come. I've had to do things myself. (e. g. clean up unit after I move in bc dirty AF).
FYI no "rent Cafe" or community posting online. portal to pay more than your monthly rent & fees for extra charge. No thanks. I already have to pay atm fees to do my laundry on the 3rd floor. Write a check. If you don't know what that is, ask ur mom. I have had way better rental experiences where at least pretended to care about their property, residents. I've also visited nicer housing that is income based, sect 8, HUD, housing in my lifetime & Lakewood, too.
Its not worth the price for what you get. If you have a car, commute and live elsewhere.
