Any maintenance issues have been addressed that same day and I really like how the managers are always available to talk to either in person or via email. I love being so close to downtown Cincinnati and within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in Covington. There are two very nice club rooms/lounge areas that can be reserved for events or parties, a huge gym that includes a sauna, pet spa, coffee/espresso machine with custom drinks, Luxer One locker package system, Tide lockers for your dry cleaning, I mean the list just goes on and on. You can't beat the amenities here!

In moving from Denver, Colorado to Cincinnati, OH, I was on the search the perfect NEW apartment…read morebuilding, and I found it with Madison Place! The building is located right on the banks of the Ohio river, on the Covington, KY side, and features stunning views of the entire Cincinnati skyline. I like this location because it is close to Cincinnati (accessible by footbridge), but not as congested as Cincinnati in terms of parking. The building was completely renovated recently offers studios , and 1 and 2 bedroom units- all of which are spacious, with high ceilings and large decks that offer spectacular views. I love that the building includes many amenities; community terrace with firepit, pet friendly, a huge fitness facility, and 24/7 attended security in the lobby. I can't give enough praise for this awesome new apartment building!

Wowzer. What a great place to live!…read more Centrally located right in the Central Business District this apartment complex is the perfect location! It's nestled right by a little park and has tons of great local resto's and coffee shops nearby. The entrance is very safe and has a call only unlock method for visitors, which is great and a security guard is on staff at all times. The lobby is sup clean and tidy as is the rest of the building. Especially for being so old I was surprised at what great shape its in. Now for the creme dela creme... the rooftop pool. This is enough to make anyone want to move here. Again surrounded by skyscrapers is pretty neat to be sitting pretty on a rooftop desk soaking up some sun. Again, the space is super clean! All of the lounge chairs are in very good condition and the pool is kept very clean. There is even a fountain and a little grill our area separate from the pool with patio tables. This made me so jealous!! But the thing that I thought brought it all home--the landscaping. This must have cost a fortune! There are beautiful drapes of greenery all over the rooftop. From bushes and ivy, to beautiful flowers of every color. They really do a great job here and I was super impressed and jealous. Downtowners if you are looking to rent, get on this waiting list!

Unfortunately today was my official move out day at the Gramercy on Garfield. This was such a great…read moreplace to live for my time in Cincinnati. I moved here from out west without having any knowledge of the area or what to expect. Arielle and the Management Team were so helpful in getting me into a new place and recommending great places to meet people. The Gramercy was a great place to meet friends and even better place location wise to meet people in the area. I always look at reviews of new places before I move because I have lived in apartments that did not have a good or responsive management team. You will find that the team at The Gramercy is so responsive and is constantly looking for ways to help you enjoy your home/living experience. When I sent in my notification that I was moving, I received a call from Arielle asking about my move. She found out that I had to move for work and extended my agreed rent rate so that I would not have to pay month to month rates. The Gramercy did this not because they had to, and not because it would benefit them... they did this because they are a great team that cares about their tenants. If you are looking for a new place to call home in the downtown area of Cincinnati - look no more because this is the best option!

The staff is very friendly, attentive and responsive, and seems to genuinely care about us residents. Even in the event there is something going on or an emergency, they make sure to email us letting us know immediately. They've also done a TON to beautify the grounds and keep it clean. This is actually my family's second stay here, we had moved out to try to save for a house but after looking at the market, it was a no brained to come back here. Super happy with our place and the staff is excellent. Highly recommend Galbraith Points to anyone looking for an amazing place to live

My girlfriend and I lived in a 2 bedroom apartment here for one year, and for an older, low-mid…read moreincome housing option, it was a nice place to live. Pros- Lori, the current manager, is a really nice lady who is attuned to tenant's needs. She made sure that most of our maintenance requests were tended to within a day or two. The building is nice and clean inside (hallways), and always smelled pretty great. I'm not sure why, but clean-smelling hallways seem reassuring to me. Also, we never found many bugs inside the apartment even though we were on the first floor! Score. The building just got some brand new coin-operated washers and dryers, only a dollar to wash and a dollar to dry, not too bad. The back area of the apartment is mostly fenced in- it was a great place to let my dog out, and as long as I kept a watchful eye he could roam around off leash. This apartment is in a great location, close to Mt. Lookout square with plenty of bars, good restaurants, a nice UDF gas station, and only a 20-30 minute walk to Hyde Park square... a great little outing on warm nights. It felt safe to walk around by yourself, even during the night. Ault park is nearby, the Ohio River Bike Trail connects going south on Delta ave., and the surrounding neighborhoods have beautiful, old houses that are fun to discover on walks and runs. If you are someone who likes being outdoors, running/walking/biking, you'll find yourself in good company and surroundings. Cons- The apartments are old, with ac units and radiator heating- they can get a bit hot in the summer. Not the most energy efficient. Kitchens are tiny. Neighbors/maintenance can be a bit loud and/or rowdy, but that can be expected in most shared housing situations. Delta avenue seems to attract some crazy drivers, especially during the night - we saw a few bad accidents during year we were there, so watch out! We also had a package stolen once from outside our door. We just recently received our entire deposit back in a timely manner, and overall, are very satisfied with our time at Somerset. Thanks Lori!

I lived here for just over a year after moving back to Cincinnati from the east coast. Over 25…read moreyears, I've lived in many apartments: good, bad, excellent. Somerset had a lot of promise but falls on the lower end of the spectrum due to management. Right off the bat, I couldn't obtain, even by paying, extra keys for pet sitter, etc. Had to use a lockbox on a light post for more than a year. The apts are "renovated" (and you pay for it) but it's not done well. My vent fan in bathroom was spitting construction dust every time my neighbor walked upstairs (the walls and floors/ceilings are so thin, you hear everything - everything) and come to find out it's because they *painted over it* when "renovating" the bathroom (tub also peeled the entire time I lived there despite repair attempts). I'd report water damage from unsealed doors and windows and they'd come scrape the plaster that needed to be repaired - but then never repair or paint it. T*ffany the designated contact sent frequent texts with questions like "Did you dump clothing in front of the building?" No, I did not. The one thing they won't text to warn residents about? When two men were breaking into cars in the lot at 4am and pretended to pull a gun on me and pushed me when I startled them. Reported it to building and residents got nary an email. Mgmt enters your apartment A LOT. Like once a month. One time it was to make a list of apts that had various amenities (they don't keep track???). You nearly always only get the legally mandated minimum notice. On a work trip and can't spend 4 hours the next day doing their list to get it ready? Not there to secure your pets? Oh well! They assume no one goes anywhere and can take a half day off work. I was told after year lease that apt would go "month to month" at market rate - LOL. Market rate would've been lower than I'd rented it for, they raised it significantly, then added a "balcony charge" as well as a $200/month surcharge for being month to month. Jumped from $1300-ish to $1800-ish. Needless to say I got the h*ll out of there even though I preferred to not sign another year lease as I want to buy -- that's how much I wanted out. The place is also incredibly noisy - from both your neighbors as well as the outdoors. It looks nice when you look at it but start poking around and it's all smoke and mirrors.

Nantucket Apartments' front office (Lee and Serena) let you know that no tenant issue is too…read moresmall. Case on point, I lost my keyring which has every key I need on an every day basis. I didn't panic, but after retracing my steps didn't work, I stopped looking and decided I would indeed find them when I stopped looking for them. After "not looking" for 24 hours, I called the office. Lee was empathetic and offered to have my house key, mail key, and gate fob replaced and delivered to my door as soon as possible. Immediately upon hanging up the phone, a thunderbolt hit as I remembered changing my "Valentine" door wreath to a "Let It Snow" door wreath. There were my keys, dangling by the car key fob from the snowman's hat. I immediately called Lee to stop the key remake when Serena told me Lee was already getting things started. Now I'm sure some lady losing her keys wasn't the most important task to be done, but the ladies laughed (WITH me of course) but making my little problem was indeed important to them. Thank you both and please know you are definitely part of the reason I love where I live. Tori Escott

The units are all updated and have modern lighting fixtures. Duke energy also has a program were you can type in your address and if your location qualifies they will send you 10 free fluorescent bulbs which is nice. Also included in rent is use of the gym, business center (with free internet, printing and fax), and community room located in the basement. Each unit also comes with a storage area also located in the basement. Heating and cooling is very cheap since some of the apartments are right above Walgreen's which is also convenient if you forgot a grocery item. Rent is very reasonable especially when you include all the extras (such as washer and dryer) which many other locations do not include or have a community set in the hall. All service requests are carried out quickly and the entire place is cleaned every week.

Appliances all worked well and I never experienced a problem. All units have balconies too, which was nice to get a bit of fresh air in the summer! I found the unit was in a perfect spot because you are very close to a lot of employers downtown (I had about a 10 minute walk to mine) and you're in between the OTR and the Banks as well as a 10 minute walk to Fountain Square, really the best of everything! My apartment was about 700 sq ft with a huge walk-in closet in the bathroom. I really liked how the space was spread out in the unit. The kitchen had a lot of counter space and there was enough space in the living area for a dining table and couch + TV. The amenities were nice because it was just what I needed so I knew I wasn't paying for more than I would use. There is a fitness center, which has most things you'd use, community center with TV, business center with printer, and each apartment gets its own storage unit. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Whenever I had maintenance requests they were very quick and responsive. When I had to move for work they were very understandable and accommodating to me. For downtown the rent very reasonably priced and my rent only increased by $25 each year. They used to pay for water/sewage but now I think they charge $25 for it. Electricity typically ran about $50/month as well. Really the only downside is that the apartments don't have a dedicated parking garage. You can get parking for about $80/month on 7th street (less than a block away) or at the new 84.51 building (not sure of the price). Bringing in groceries and anything big can be a pain, but there is an alley next to the building you can pull in to unload and another one you can actually park in.

I lived at Deer Hill for a little over a year and a half. They were very kind in understanding my…read moresituation since my lease was up after one year, they allowed me to continue to rent month to month until I found somewhere more suitable for me, as long as I gave them proper notice. They were also great when I had switched jobs and I had a minor gap between paychecks, which caused my rent to go over the "allowable" late time. They were always on top of things and were very kind any time I needed anything. I ended up getting the majority of my deposit back, so I was very happy with that - but it was easy, considering the apartment was already very clean when I moved in. My apartment was nestled back towards the wooded area, so it made it really beautiful during the summer and fall, and my apartment never got overly hot due to the shade from the trees. I would say the ONLY downside to that would be the bugs that would come from the wooded area, but what can you expect? The maintenance staff was always careful about the pets, and ensured that they were not just leaving the door ajar or that they were entering the apartment when pets were "unsupervised." It was just definitely a plus having a caring office staff as well as a caring maintenance staff, because you usually just get one or the other. They also did a big "apartment meet-n-greet" at the movie theater to see a family friendly movie! They paid for popcorn, drinks, and the tickets, the only thing you paid for was anything else you wanted from the concession. It gave everyone a chance to meet their neighbors whom they otherwise probably wouldn't have. I definitely enjoyed every minute I lived here!

I was worried during the winter time because of the big hill but they keep the parking lot/roads clear and salted which makes me feel safe! This complex is pet friendly and residents have lots of dogs which is great because I have a dog also. There is lots of room to walk and many dog stations to clean up after your pet. My neighbors are not loud which is definitely a plus. The only CONS I have with this place is their car policy is way too strict. I understand having rusty, crappy cars is a big no no, but one little dent isn't hurting anyone or making the complex look bad. You also can't hang any flags and you only get one washer and one dryer per unit. The nice thing though is that they are card operated instead of using all your quarters! You also have to pay for water which kinda sucks because most apartments pay that for you. Other than that, I enjoy living here and would recommend it!

I lived here for almost a year and the 1st weekend I moved in I immediately regretted it. The…read moreapartment above played loud music until about 3am. In fact, the loud music continued for months. I wrote, called and even stopped down to the rental office. My concerns weren't taken serious. It felt I was being labeled as the problem; but, as a tenant I expected a quiet apartment especially after the 10pm quiet hours. The 'Courtesy Officer' on some occasion said he didn't hear anything, some times asked me to go speak to her -- the final straw and thankfully my last weekend living in the apartment I had family over for the holiday and were enjoying a dinner and it was interrupted by a full party of about 30 - 40 people in the apartment above. So, at this point I called the cops. This was after the Security Guard came down and said yes they are having a party and she said it will be over at midnight. Lol. Completely disregarding the 10pm quiet hours. My family ended up having to leave and I waited for the police. Thankfully, the police responded and the party ended at midnight. There is no doubt if I hadnt called the cops, they wouldve continued much later. I have never been in this type of scenario and was so glad that that was my final weekend in the apartment. I moved out 3 months early and paid two rent for two apartments because the neighbor above was loud and its clear at this point the rental office isnt going to address it. As a tenant that is quiet, pays on time and clean -- I expected my concerns to be taken seriously. The apartments are beautiful, but walls are thin and it will be a NIGHTMARE if you end up with a loud neighbor. On the day of my move out, the rental manager followed the movers and myself as I moved out and watched as we moved boxes from my apartment to the truck. I had to ask him to leave as there was no reason for him to be there. He was making an already stressful day worse. This isnt a normal practice and when I moved in, he nor any of the other leasing people did this. So awkward and weird, maybe he thought I would damage the elevator or steal the hallway decoration. There are so many examples of disperity in treatment among tenants. But a final one ill mention is about a month after moving in I had ONE living room chair being delivered. The movers were stopped and told they had to go to the back. Fine. But, months later a lady moved a an entire bedroom set, mattress and several other items through the front door and she wasnt treated like I was. I stood there and watch not one person in the office stopped her or ask her movers to go to the back. Worse apartment experience ever and so thankful to be away. If you decided to risk it and move here take lots of moving in pics (pay special attention to the carpets they may try to pass that expense to you) and you may need to call the cops on loud neighbors -- because the rental office may not address it for certain tenants. All tenants should have a right to a quiet home.
