Recently moved out. The area is quiet, apartments are old with old broken appliances that staff refuses to replace. Many maintenance issues. Issues are patched up but never fixed. Water is constantly turned off because of constant water heater issue. When signing a lease your promised 1 parking per apartment but, some residents have two parking spots per apartment which some rent payers have to park on the street. This complex is not as safe as portrayed because there are a lot of elderly people living in the complex who gives access to no residents. Since living here I've experienced: Roof leaking Stuck on the elevator some plumbing issues My car has been vandalized twice Beware of the portrayal of this place. It looks nice on the outside, but a lot is going on in the inside.

I recently moved out of the Van Buren Apartments after two wonderful years. I have to say this is the best apartment complex I have ever stayed at. When I first applied to the Van Buren the manager Mary was great, it felt like she really listened. Me being the frugal person I am she even help me to learn I could send digital check via my bank without having to pay a fee for rent. Chris the head of maintenance there is great, I wanted to have a pot rack and cloths line installed and he had no problem with it. In fact I cannot remember a time that I ever had to wait longer than a week after a work order was put in. My building is nice with an open area for apartment events from the the bagels, donuts and coffee even that happens once a month at 9AM to the monthly birthday parties to celebrate those that have a birthday that month. I never used the pool area so I cannot comment on that, but I will say the mailbox area is perfect for those days you really do not feel like doing much, but hey the mail is right there no need to really walk out in the elements for it. For the most part everyone is very friendly, and never had a problem with a neighbor. The concrete walls are a good touch. Many reviewers say this place has an east coast feel, me being from Chicago it reminds of it. I like having a hallways to walk out to, if you need to throw out trash there is a shoot. There are two laundry rooms on each floor that are kept up well, and the price is right at 75 cents to wash and 75 cents to dry. I think it is like that people of the low maintenance. The one bedroom I stayed in had a huge kitchen, plenty of counter space for prep, I even had a deep freezer with all that room. The move out process was perfect, Mary checked everything without a problem. I was not charged a dime. Honestly I can go on and on about how great it was to live here. All I can say is I hope to find another place like this again, I wish I could take it with me. This is a community that is worth being apart of.

I've only recently moved into the building and I can tell you I love it here. The apartment management and the maintenance supervisor are fantastic. They have addressed any issues i've had (which was only one) but with a quick turnaround. The area is nice, and I have never had any issues during the day or night. My car is parked in a secure well lit area, and I actually have a view from my apartment. The apartments are also very big and spacious, and well kept. I'm glad I made the choice to live here.
