The Groove

Appartment itself is nice nothing broken etc... But the area is full of druggies, people yelling nonsense and spray painting profanity in mail room, cars get broken into, I hear car alarms a couple times a month, no good amenities, OVERPRICED rent in shity area with an expectation of more on another lease, expensive laundry. Would not recommend!!!!

I have lived here for a few years and I feel like Avenue 5 is lacking. They have been at this location for almost 2 years, and the beginning was pretty rough. It took a while before we finally got a permanent Property Manager, and as far as Avenue 5 goes, she is the best thing they have going for them. Brittany has been attentive and responsive, which is something we did not get with the other property managers. I know if Brittany says she is going to do something, she is, and it is nice to be able to count on her word. Brittany has gone out of her way for us and has made the experience at The Groove better. Brittany gets 5 stars, but Avenue 5 gets 2 stars.

Now that I no longer live here I feel comfortable writing a review. Before Avenue5 took over things were fine here. We had a mold problem that management was doing their best to keep under control, even putting tenants up in hotels if their units needed extensive mold removal. The management was honest about these being... budget apartments, I suppose. They warned us to lock our car and keep valuables out of sight, they told us about the mold and to call them if it appeared in our unit, and generally explained everything that comes with a cheaply built apartment from the 1970s. Our neighbors were lovely, things were fixed in a timely manner, management was willing to help with any problems, rules about decorations on your patio were non-existent (other than not keeping storage boxes or cat litter boxes out there and complying with fire code) and most importantly, rent was $900-950 a month, meaning young people just starting out in their careers could afford it and so could elderly or disabled people on fixed incomes. Avenue5 took over, and suddenly our nice neighbors were moving out due to being priced out. Nothing was being fixed anymore, in fact, maintenance requests were being "lost". This can be a huge problem in cheaply built apartments like these ones. It often took days or weeks to get someone to come fix minor problems, let alone major ones. The mold became rampant and took over all three tiny rooms in our apartment, and no matter how many times we reported it nothing was done. As my partner and I both have asthma, and so does one of our cats, this was very dangerous for us. However the last maintenance guy when we left was amazing and went above and beyond when management actually got requests to him, and he made the last few months of living there much more bearable. The fitness center was removed to make room for ugly modern offices that clash horribly with the dated exterior and the pool was kept closed almost all summer... and for the few days that it was open, it was green. The apartments were gutted and filled with the same kind of tacky modern decor - the kind you'd see in a house flipped with nothing but profit in mind, that starts falling apart the second you move in, and I guess they used this to justify raising the rent by several hundred dollars. They changed the rules to only allow three potted plants per balcony, meaning many beautiful plants had to be given away, or thrown away. We were no longer allowed to have any colorful decorations or balcony furniture, or even wind chimes... but they still use photos of our beautifully decorated balconies to advertise. But most of their advertised amenities are nonexistent too, so I guess you just shouldn't believe their advertising. We also have yet to receive our deposit or the reasons we are losing our deposit, and we moved out at the end of November 2019. We have tried calling numerous times and have yet to hear back, but I doubt management spends any more time in the office than they did when we lived there, which was almost none. Even if they were in the office during scheduled times, if you walked in the manager would take an attitude with you and say they were closed. So I guess I shouldn't expect much professionalism. EDIT: Based on the reviews on this complex and others owned by Avenue5, I believe they are using fake accounts to write reviews or they are paying for reviews. Two accounts that have only reviewed Avenue5 properties reviewed this listing on the same day. Try being less obvious, Abby.
