I rent one of the front apartments. I was excited to have a balcony and a bedroom separate from the rest of the apartment. I love hardwood floors and the location is great since I work and study at Wayne State. However, the 650 I was paying was excessive and the landlord had the audacity to knock that up to 700/month as of August 2015. I can second most of what the other reviewer said. The landlord is a shyster. He'll ask you what you think of other apartments you've seen and be jovial, but as soon as that lease is signed, he's absentee. I guarantee he would never live in one of his own apartments. There's rust in my sink, a crack in the corner of one of my windows, the heat in winter is (as the other poster said) a furnace or non-existent throughout the winter, my door has a gap so I can hear everybody coming up and down the hallway, and none of that was fixed despite putting maintenance requests in. There's no parking to speak of, most of the restaurants and stores in the area are closed by evening, and the tattoo shop is quite loud, especially if you live at the front of the building. It isn't the worst place I've lived, but it absolutely isn't worth what the landlord is charging for it.
DO NOT MOVE HERE! There, I've got your attention. I've been in here for about seven months now, and, like the other reviewers, I can attest to a host of problems with this place. I should have known them asking for 625/month on a 400 sq. ft. studio should have been my first warning. I should have known by them taking me in to see the unit before the previous tenant had even moved out that privacy rights weren't going to be respected, no matter how illegal that was. I should have noticed by Ken, the sales guy, coming across as utterly slimy even to someone as socially oblivious as myself, should have been another warning. But nope, I plodded ahead with it anyway. And now, here I sit, in a unit that's drafty, with a leaky ceiling I keep asking to get fixed but is getting ignored, in a tiny unit I pay way too much for that doesn't even have a dishwasher or microwave, with a floor that's almost rotting away underneath me, a boiler beneath me that sounds like it's about to explode every hour or so, and exactly zero parking to be had anywhere nearby. The maintenance guy, when he can be bothered to actually do his job, is openly belligerent to tenants. Another resident was locked out of her unit and called him for assistance, only to have him yell at her for interrupting his lunch and demanding she not call him again. Naturally our complaints to the management have been ignored. Pretty much the only nice part is the vague community that's formed here out of shared adversity with the building and the management. I've never actually had any kind of relationship with fellow tenants anywhere else I've lived before, and though it sucks this is what brings us together, I at least know they're decent people. Even so, that's definitely not enough to outweigh the many other issues this place has. Avoid at all costs. Go around the corner to Cass and Ferry where the rent is much lower and the buildings are actually maintained.
Parking is a nightmare. They let apartment brokers try to price gouge you on a studio apartment. If a building is managed by Preservation Management in Midtown save yourself a headache and possibly becoming a victim of identity theft by staying as far away from them as humanly possible.
