"PLEASE PAY ATTENTION!!! At the text request of Halstead, I am posting this review. Notice; most good reviews are from years ago. Please read below.
? This apartment complex is NOT a "luxury" property... disgusting amounts of trash overflow the trash bins and grounds. Pools are constantly green, even one day after cleaning! (There is NO HEATED POOL since at least 10/2023, yet they still advertise it). ? Elevators have not worked correctly for over 3 months. Hallways are filthy and look horrible. Leaks, lack of maintenance and management, that does nothing but provide excuses if they respond at all. Apartments are being leased as Air BnB's, and those renters don't care about noise or stomping on floors (see pic). Parking is atrocious! (I was told if I paid an additional $100 per month, I could get reserved parking). Pool-table has balls that are chipped and scratched with torn felt on table. (Bring your own sticks! ?). General use area has old pizza boxes and roaches in cabinets (you pay $85 a month for that "luxury"! ) Grills by pool are disgusting. Non-smoking community where hallways, staircases, elevators, and garages constantly reek of weed (marijuana). Don't be fooled by the "luxury appearance" of the office - the rest of the complex does not meet those standards. I highly recommend you reconsider renting here. Management is super nice when they want you to sign a lease and horrible and disrespectful after you move in. I had a window fall out of my bedroom in July ? and it took a week for maintenance to respond! So many of the residents I have spoken to have the same complaints and have already moved or are moving out. You do not want to rent here! You will be ?aggravated and upset with the property and the service. Gate on 610 broke several times; Management's answer??? Close it permanently!? I'm telling you, you will ?regret it if you sign a lease at Halstead. This is a Slumlord property! From what I have heard from other residents, they do not refund deposits either. ??♂️ Do you really need to know more??? (More pics will be added)
P.S. Apartments response to this post was a boiler plate "fake" response. If they really cared, they would have contacted me"
"Deposit hasn’t been reimbursed. I moved out on November 9th. Broken promises, and horrible property management. Elevators keep breaking down. Imagine walking up and down 6-7 flights of stairs in the dark. Broken appliances, and damaged wood floors, trash everywhere. Not Luxury!!! Not a luxury experience. Best thing they have going for them is location… GET NEW MANAGEMENT"
"This will be a mixed review. Hopefully this helps anyone who thinks about moving here.
The only reason why my review is a 2, yet not lower, is because we were able to live here comfortably, but not in luxury, as the apartment complex portrays itself to be. They are simply nice apartments with suburb materials. There’s functional appliances, working bathrooms, but again, not luxury. We rarely needed maintenance work. The employees are really nice. Kudos to Jayden, and the guy (I don’t know his name, as he is new). Hands down to the maintenance guys as well. Those are my nice notes, the pros.
Here’s where it gets juicy. The cons. The management team has GOT TO HAVE BETTER COMMUNICATION WITH HER TEAM! IT SUCKS! The employees would communicate one thing, but the manager would add other things, whether it’s paperwork, procedures, or even more money. Of course, no one likes to pay more money unexpectedly, so this definitely needs work. Moving here wasn’t easy, and leaving here was no better, especially because I ended my lease early. Take note that I gave kudos to the employees, but not management. Her attitude makes me believe that’s she’s only had bad experiences with customer service, and she talks to everyone like they’re kids, or they’re dumb. Every time my wife or I have had to talk to her, she always seemed very defensive. As I read some of the reviews on here in regards to her, she replies in a very defensive mode, which proves my point. She does not take responsibility for it. My case was that they gave us an incomplete apartment. It seemed like they rushed the job just to get us our apartment. When we brought this up to management, and all the details that were lacking, she thought we were just being too picky, and even told us, and I quote “if you guys are gonna be picky, and you won’t be happy here, I’d really just rather cancel your application.” And all we were asking for was, to simply make our apartment as they said they would. They kept blaming the incomplete work on the freeze we had back in January. However, the maintenance work that was lacking had nothing to do with the freeze. It was all detail work. As a former supervisor for a department I will not mention, if I were in charger, this would not be the person I would have chosen for this position. But that’s just me.
This next comment is more like an opinion, yet a con. If you are someone who’s very chill, and only works, comes home, eats, and gets ready for the next day, I would say that this is not the place for you, which is our case. There were many times where it was very noisy dead in the middle of the night, and I believe it has to do with whoever crashes here at an AirBnb. Yes. There are AirBnb’s here. You can tell that the people who come spend a few nights here are people who love the party life. There’s music and loud people at like, 3am, and on very random days. My wife and I found ourselves waking up a lot because our next door apartment had a balcony right next to our bedroom, and the tenants could be very loud, which I had to yell over there and ask them to lower their voices. The AirBnb’s are everywhere here! And yes. I also sent out emails to the employees at least twice regarding this topic.
Hopefully this helps anyone."
"I was looking at renting a unit… I had even started the process… unfortunately due to issues regarding work, I decided to not relocate to apartments. The Halstead told me, that they were not going to issue me a refund, despite my move in date was over month a head and they had not heard from me. I emailed them well before the move in date. If they are going to do that to future tenants, I can only imagine how they treat their residents"
"This place is run by thieves! Honestly there are so many apartments in the galleria area do not bother with this place you will be disappointed. I GUARANTEE THAT. They will say whatever to get your money but will not honor the promises they make. Will be taking this company to court. DO NOT MOVE HERE"
