The units themselves are well kept, clean, safe/secure, and the neighbors are usually very friendly. It's also pet friendly which I enjoy.

Forced to do a lot more manual hauling of things than should've been the case. Also, had too many neighbors whose behavior, especially their children, was problematic. Next door neighbors cooked strong smelling food, and often BURNED things, then opened their hallway door to let the smoke dissipate. Neighbors upstairs had two kids whose primary entertainment seemed to be running around the apartment like animals in cages. Thinking it was the floor above us, I spoke with those folks, only to find the noise came from two floors above us. They also have a very poor understanding of maintaining plants, have killed their own trees, and mono-culture drew in flocks of Japanese beetles that devoured the lemon tree that spent its summers on my patio.

They allow big dogs which is great. Lots of folks with big dogs live here, so it's nice to get the dogs out playing together. There is surprisingly a TON of green space to utilize. Very nice and unexpected! The clubhouse offers a lot of amenities. I've only been in it a few times but it seems to be well-kept and very clean. I attended a party in the lower level media room and it was perfect! So nice to have that available. I would definitely recommend checking out the apartment complex if you're looking. Wonderful safe neighborhood and quiet residents. Overall, I am very happy here!

This review is based entirely on my firsthand experience living at 22 Slate. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was consistently negative and extremely stressful. During my residency, there was a serious violent incident involving a death in one of the buildings, which significantly impacted my sense of safety. In addition, I personally observed ongoing issues with drug-related activity on the property, frequent off-leash dogs despite posted rules, and dog waste left throughout the grass and common areas. Package theft from the package room occurred repeatedly for a period of time, and to my knowledge, no effective action was taken while it was happening. Inside my apartment, we experienced cockroach issues, which management attributed to a neighboring unit rather than addressing the problem in a meaningful way. The property itself appears to be deteriorating, with thin walls and frequent appliance and maintenance failures. One particularly troubling incident involved a neighbor who was instructed by staff to store family heirlooms in a storage unit. Due to poor communication, those items were later discarded by an employee, resulting in a total loss for that resident. Following this, residents were informed of increased insurance requirements. The water quality caused extreme mineral and calcium buildup. Despite regular cleaning, deposits would harden into rock-like formations in the toilets. Our washer broke and was marked as repaired when it was not. Our clothes were locked inside the machine for nearly two months. During that time, we had to use laundry facilities in another building. When our clothes were finally returned, they were moldy and unusable, forcing us to throw everything away. Maintenance and communication were ongoing issues. Staff entered our unit to change filters without notice. We transferred units mid-lease, only to find the new unit had a broken stove, requiring our old stove to be moved. The dishwasher later broke, and during an attempted repair, the kitchen flooded. Around Thanksgiving, residents in the unit above us stored a very large quantity of propane tanks inside their apartment. We contacted authorities due to safety concerns and were told it was an unsafe amount. Despite video evidence, management dismissed the situation. After I provided documentation for an emotional support animal related to my service-connected PTSD, I noticed a clear shift in how management interacted with us, and communication became increasingly hostile and dismissive. Customer service at the front desk was consistently unprofessional and often incorrect. We were repeatedly given conflicting information about lease terms, fees, and policies. On more than one occasion, members of management acknowledged that incorrect information had been provided and referred to it as "miscommunication," which is unacceptable when dealing with legal lease agreements. Requests to see the written policies being cited were frequently refused. When moving out, I attempted to arrange a lease transfer, something I had done previously under similar circumstances. Despite initially being given clear instructions and pricing, management later reversed course, claimed the transfer was not allowed, and then stated they had been reviewing the wrong lease due to another resident with the same name. Again, the relevant policies were not provided when requested. These apartments are not luxury, despite how they are marketed. Fees felt arbitrary, repairs were delayed or ineffective, amenities were overcrowded, and management lacked transparency and accountability. This was the worst rental experience I have had. I strongly recommend documenting everything and reading the fine print carefully. Based on my experience, I would not recommend living at 22 Slate.

FYI: 22Slate will NOT do anything to "earn a 5-star". They will NOT fix anything I've called out…read moreor anyone else has called out. The reason I'm dropping them from 3 to 1 is due to an email I received, which I'm using Yelp to spread the word: if your active lease contradicts that email, YOU HAVE RIGHTS. YOUR LEASE IS THE RULE OF LAW, NOT THIS EMAIL. 22 Slate has said that as of August 1st of this year, they will not accept legal currency that isn't digital. So basically, no money orders (discriminates against low-middle class tenants and the elderly) and no paper checks including cashiers checks (discriminates against business and corporate tenants). This goes to bullet #2-5 of my original review. Now, if your lease agreement (assuming it's still active) clearly states that they will accept these, THEY MUST ACCEPT IT, and if they do not, SUE THEM for breach of contract. If they try to renew the lease and remove this capability and you don't agree, MOVE OUT. Send a message that this is WRONG of them. They won't change it - so they shouldn't bother responding. What needs to happen, is that tenants need to force them out of business or to new management that wants to do stuff right.
