I lived here for a year in a 3 bed, 2.1 bath townhome style apartment. The apartment was in pretty…read moregood condition, but very late 90's, early 00's in terms of styling (white tile, counter tops, doors, cupboards, etc.). Maintenance was great and responded quickly. The 1-car garage was great too. My one big complaint about this place is the so called "state of the art" fitness center. Half of the machines were broken and the TV didn't work either. This was very frustrating. Ford Road traffic is HORRIBLE, especially during the evening rush hour. Depending on which way you're coming from, exit 275 at either Ann Arbor Rd. or Michigan Ave. and take Haggerty the rest of the way. It will save tons of time. The place is mostly families and younger people. If you want to live in a nice apartment without the BS that you deal with at some places, pay a little extra and live here.

The WORST experience. They will NOT give your security deposit back. I lived there with my husband,…read morejust the two of us. They said the carpet was brand new when we moved in, and we only stayed for 11 months. When we moved out, they charged us $2000 dollars including our security deposit, because they apparently had to rip out ALL the carpet because it was so badly damaged. We don't have pets. We lived in a two bedroom, and never even used the second bedroom. They also said they had to repaint everything because the walls were damaged, but we knew the apartment was a short term plan, so we didn't hang anything up on the walls. It was ridiculous. When I asked for proof, they kept putting me on hold and finally they just stopped sending notices for me to pay. They kept my security deposit, but we truly left the apartment in perfect condition. I could go on and on. Truly the worst experience living in an apartment.

I have been a tenant at this apartment for four years. It is perfectly located in Midtown Detroit…read more Walking distance from Wayne State medical school, and Wayne State undergrad campus. A short Uber ride from downtown and with the new Q line built there is a station right in front of the apartment that takes you anywhere you need to go along Woodward. The unit includes dishwasher, a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and a washer and dryer. The unit does not come furnished allowing you to customize it your self. I have attached pictures of my one bedroom, one bathroom unit " midtown" floor plan. The apartment building also has a gym that has recently been remodeled and upgraded. It has a television, two treadmills, two ellipticals, a bicycle, assisted benchpress rack, free weights, and a multi exercise weight machine like a bowflex. The current building managers John and Nikki are the best we have ever had. They truly care about the cleanliness of the building, they are very responsive to complaints, and they are constantly striving to upgrade and improve the services of the building. They host monthly events for the whole apartment including things like a happy hour social, or a night out at hop cat all on the tab of studio one. The building managers also have organized a custom coffee and smoothie cart to make drinks for the tenants. They truly care about us! There is a call box at the front door. And a nightly security guard who patrols the property for extra security. This is much appreciated. The only complaints I would have about the location is that on a Friday or Saturday night the people at starters bar and grill downstairs can make too much noise in the parking lot. Also, the parking downstairs is for retail customers only. If you have a car you will need to purchase a separate parking pass in the structure. Overall I give this place five stars for its price, comfort, staff, location, and security, the combination of which is not found anywhere else in Midtown Detroit.

The location is awesome with it being right in midtown. There are a ton of places to walk to and downtown is a 30 min walk or a QLINE ride away. The apartments are super nice, mine has black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, large windows, and a small balcony. Overall I have had poor experiences with renting and this one has been exceptional with this company, definitely recommend if you are looking to live in the midtown area.

Every apartment has drop ceilings and the AC leaks every. single. summer. For the first 3 years I lived there, the A/C would shut down in mid-July (Shout out Detroit Beer Co). I had a build-up of water that created a giant bubble in the ceiling (as well as the paint next to it) for several days that eventually burst. Maintenance came by and cleaned up (a little) but I was without a ceiling tile for AT LEAST a month. Just a big old gaping hole in the ceiling for all my guests to see when they came over. On top of that, my AC would leak onto the floor, causing the nastiest moldy smell. They also sealed (nailed shut) all the windows last Spring (**Due to insanely high lead content on the original windows paint), so it was hard to escape the smell. Every time I called the emergency line about one of these issues, the manager (Marlo) never responded. I would get a text several days after calling saying 'someone will come look at it.' The live-in maintenance guy, Ken, is a nice guy but terribly unskilled and things are often (always) done half-assed. On top of all that, parking went up from $75 to $150 in the last 6 months. Which is average for the city but not worth it to park in a place that is regularly un-supervised and fills up during any sport/concert event downtown. A liquor store also opened up downstairs which is convenient, but ultimately brought along some sketchy clientele that hangs out outside. Oh, and lets not forget that you're directly next to Annex night club - which literally vibrates your walls like a German house orgy every Saturday night until 2 AM - in which, the cops would shut down Adams every. single. week. due to some fight or shooting OUTSIDE of the club - which is your front door! I'd say hold off on the Fyfe for now. It's falling apart, and some bigger fish is going to swoop in soon and gut that place. The location is too good for the Gilbert types not to notice.

After 11 years I must say that the Fyfe apartments have lost what I loved about this building.

This is a perfect example of the "human error" in terms of business and why many of them fail, or…read moreat least should fail. As my mother is in need of an apartment in this area, I did some research and came up with a list of potential places and the Oxford House Apartments made it on - as an alternative. Very little information was available on-line, and fewer pictures still. There was a poorly written ad on Craigslist (which we all know to be such a trusted, and accurate source). To set up a time to see a unit I initially called and left a message on the apartment manager's machine on a weekday in the early afternoon. After hearing nothing back, I tried calling again just before 5pm that same day. No answer and so I left another message. The following day, I receive a call from the manager on site (Dave something, or other) who made no effort to apologize and agreed to show the apartment that day at 3pm. Later in the afternoon, about 1pm, I received a voice-mail stating that he was told by his boss (www.kaftancommunities.com) that he had to "go out to Kensington for an emergency" and that he would not be able to show us the unit until the next day at either 12pm, or 1pm. I called back and left a voice mail since no one has ever actually answered that phone (leading me to believe that he screens his calls to avoid bill collectors, or tenants complaints) and told him that Saturday at 1pm would have to do. The next day I called and left yet another message attempting to confirm our appointment for 1pm. By 12:50pm no return call was received and as you may have guessed by now, calling the same number still results in no answer. Keep in mind, this very well could be because the apartment community is so fantastic that there is a waiting list of people just to get in there and/or it's possible that the parent company generates so much income they can afford to throw away potential tenants with A+ credit and large incomes, however the fact that they advertise on Craigslist would lead me to believe otherwise. After driving by the apartment and seeing it in person, disenchantment is the only word that comes to mind. It is in poor condition (not untypical for Michigan these days) not too dirty, but obviously not well groomed, or maintained. We weren't actually able to see inside the entire unit of any apartment so it still remains to be seen what they're honestly like, but in case you couldn't tell by this review, we won't be doing business with this place, ever. As karma would have it, we ended up finding a much more suitable, cleaner and modern place for my mother at a more reasonable price with an attentive and competent property manager on site.

I have lived in this complex for 27 years and have had only good experiences living here. The owner, Larry, goes out of his way to accommodate all the residents who live here within reason. The two maintenance workers are top notch. Both of them take care of work orders promptly. If they cannot get to you immediately, they are considerate enough to tell you they cannot get to you right away and even give an estimate time they can take care of your issue. If it is a maintenance emergency, they stop whatever they are doing and take care of it. The office worker, Cathy, is very respectful of every resident in the complex, and just like her boss, Larry, goes out of her way for everyone here, The grounds on this complex are beautiful and very well maintained. As far as car break-ins, no matter where you live, this is something everyone deals with no matter where they live. Larry has hired night security and they drive through the parking lot. This is something many apartment complexes will not provide. No one is allowed to openly smoke marijuana. The lease you sign specifically states a no tolerance to drugs and if the resident is caught, they are immediately evicted. The only stipulation to this rule is if a resident uses marijuana for medicinal purposes. Even then, you have to have a card from the state of Michigan on file in the office, and it is the residents responsibility to produce an updated card when the card they have on file expires. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a nice place to live check out West Garden Apartments. I would not have lived here for 27 years if it was such a horrible place.
