Establishment

Morgan Van Rhee

My experience in my 4 months at The Establishment has been largely positive. I would absolutely recommend this complex to a friend (and have). Location + Transportation: truly hard to beat. One that, as a woman, I can say I feel safe in. Proximity to grocery stores, the downtown, restaurants, shops, all major highways (without being *on top of* the highways) and more is fantastic. Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden is just around the corner and is a favorite. My roommate does not have a car and has had little difficulty getting around with one of the best bus lines just a quick walk away. Communication: Onsite staff are kind, communicative, and VERY responsive. All of my emails and calls have been answered in a timely manner and the staff are available and front-facing. They ensure that residents have the opportunity to put faces to names. What issues have arisen have promptly been addressed with shared concern. Hard to beat their team! Apt. Amenities: Firstly, the bedrooms are a truly generous size - especially compared with newer buildings in the area. I WFH and this is a MUST. Closets are also sizeable. The Kitchen isn't anything to write home about, but thoughtful touches to the basics are nice. For example, the standard two-bay stainless steel sink has an expandable spout to rinse/wash the sink more easily. W/D are available in-unit in the newer units, but onsite for all others. It is coin operated and I rarely (maybe twice ever) have to wait for a washer or dryer to become available. The pool feels secluded from the rest of the city. I've never used the dishwasher, but all units have them. Of note, bathrooms do not have fans (this may only be in the older units), so it is necessary to have dehumidifiers. There are outlets everywhere which is so so helpful. There are lots of storage spaces. Parking is ample and I feel free to invite guests over knowing that they won't struggle for space. Property maintenance: The biggest downside to the property is the maintenance of the complex as a whole. Paintjobs (in unit) are slipshod, dog waste stations sometimes overflow, misc. trash (I've seen jeans, food cans, beer cans, cords, and others) can float around for days/weeks without being removed, and shared laundry facilities are infrequently cleaned. The pool is not locked to non-residents and sometimes is used by non-residents and area could use an occasional wipe down of shared mini-tables. These details could be improved, but frankly, none of them place any significant impact on the quality of my experience at the complex (with the exception of the unease that the unlocked pool creates). Overall - give it a shot! I feel that the units are fairly priced (as of the time of writing this) and that they're a good value.

The Establishment is a great apartment complex so far. I've only been here about two months, but the responsiveness and communication received from management is amazing! Whether you want to make friends or keep to yourself, the residents are kind and respectful of your choices. Carlee is also super knowledgeable and understanding. I would definitely recommend living here!

Living here has been amazing. This apartment complex and management team are right up my alley. It also doesn’t hurt that I’m conveniently located at the center of everything. I recommend you live here if you want to feel comfortable and safe. I rate this place 10/10.
