I hope that people notice the poor reviews for Parc Meridian are dated. New management has definitely revamped the apartment complex and given it a fresh start. I had a great living experience at Parc Meridian. The management representative I was in contact with throughout my lease was extremely dependable, understanding, reliable, nice and professional. The maintenance staff is excellent. They were incredibly helpful, trustworthy and overall just nice, pleasant people. The cleaning staff are awesome too and came regularly. The parking is definitely a plus and very convenient for living in ktown, I never had any issues with mail or packages, and there are some great restaurants within walking distance. read more

Hi, I've been a resident of Parc Meridien for about 2 years. I moved in because previous place jumped my rent 12 percent, which definitely didn't sit well with me. My buddy lived here too, so it made the decision to move a lot easier. Some of the pro's: - Relatively decent rental rates for what you get and the location. It is rent controlled, so rental increases are limited. They didn't even raise my rent after my initial lease period was up. - Location is good in terms of being able to walk to restaurants/bars/shopping. Lots of places are within blocks, including the purple line station -Parking space included in rent. Street parking sucks in the area, so at-least you know you're covered -In the 2 years i've been here, they've replaced the toilets, painted the stairwells and some exterior, as well as all new washers/dryers on each floor last month. I believe they also have done some renovations on other units. -The manager is really responsive. I can text/email him and he usually gets back to me within the same day or the next - Water/Trash included in the rent Some of the con's: - As mentioned earlier, guest/street parking sucks. But, that's like everywhere in K-Town. It's not the apartments fault. Plus they're doing construction up the street so it's been worst. -If you have a unit on Normandie, it can be noisy. It's a busy street. The complex is usually quiet if you're not on the street side. Again, not really the apartment's fault. -Building is older. I can't speak for the other units, but my unit isn't square/level. I'm assuming there was some settling at some point. This may be an issue for other people. For me, it doesn't matter all that much. The rent was cheaper than other comparable places. Overall, I've enjoyed my time at Parc Meridien. It's not the newest/fanciest place in town, but it works for my needs. I would recommend it. read more

When I first found this location, I was pleasantly surprised with the decor and the seemingly promising renovations currently in process. We of course were shown the best unit with hardwood floors, newly renovated, etc with promise that all units would be changed within the year. It never happened. Never judge a book by it's cover! Below is a candid review of Parc Meridien. Here's is what I have observed over the course of my time here: Moss Company: I'm going to start with the management company. Herein lies any problems with this property. When work has been requested, oftentimes it has to be approved by the management company. Things are SLOW to get done. They are putting in the minimal amount of money to keep this property up and running. Pipes need to be replaced, carpets need cleaning/replaced, sewer lines need to be inspected/cleaned. Rent continues to go up although they're not any where near capacity. This building could be a good property if it was given proper care and attention it needs. Property Manager: When I first moved in, there was a property manager who promised things that never got done. He was dismissed/let go/resigned after a few short months. They hired a gentleman named June Mok. HE is the only salvation to this disappointing establishment. I have nothing but good things to say about June. He remains available to his tenants, he's always courteous and he is quick to respond to any issues he's given. However, his hands are tied by the management company and often he needs approval from them. Major Concerns: From what I understand, they have replaced some pipes that were old. I'm not sure what they're waiting for in replacing the rest of the building. The drains often smell like sewage and get clogged frequently. BUGS! There is a definite ROACH problem that needs to be addressed. They did come and spray when requested but more care needs to be given to getting this problem fixed. It might just behoove you to call the city health inspector if you move in and they don't fix the problem. They're located everywhere; laundry room, bathrooms, kitchens. Gross! This is a concern of the management company, not the property manager. It's ironic the only time that this property gives proper attention to tenants and the building is when the lenders come to visit. Most recently, they had an inspection and work was frantically being done. Leaks were repaired, attentiveness to maintenance requests were tended to, walls were painted, property was cleaned up. Parking: Indoor underground parking is adequate. As expected, they've squished a lot of spots into a small area. There is a decent amount of street parking (just watch out for restrictions!). If you are one of the unfortunate tenants who get assigned a partially covered outdoor spot, be sure to ask to switch spots! They claim that two compact cars can park side by side but it's impossible (unless they happen to be two smart cars). Balconies on the second floor sit atop of the car. If they sweep or spill anything off the balcony, it has a good chance of falling on your car. BBQ Area: It's located in a quaint area but if you're an avid griller, you'll be thoroughly disappointed. It's not clean, buttons are broken on the grill and the propane tank is usually empty. Allowed or not allowed, some tenants use small grills on their balconies. It's fine as long as you're not a neighbor who has their window open. Laundry: Each floor has a washer and dryer. Availability isn't usually a problem. They're mostly good about keeping the area clean and making sure the machines are working. Maintenance: These guys are hit and miss. They're very friendly. The problem lies in getting them to come out and address any issues. When they do come out, be prepared that they don't clean after they work. If mud is tracked in, it's going to remain there. Most of their work is fine but they only do what they need to do. In conclusion, get past all the smoke and mirrors! This building is currently all about facade. It has potential but needs some TLC. I'd rate it higher but the roach problem/sewage smells are unacceptable. This building certainly has potential. read more

See all

Ditto on the new management. The former owners did nothing to upkeep this property but the new owners and management have made a lot of great changes. Location can't be beat in ktown - tons of great places to eat within walking distance, rates are very reasonable for clean units in a well kept building. They've been responsive and nice to every question and issue I've had - which have all been minor. I would def recommend if you're looking for a good location in ktown w good management. read more

Just moved out and needed to disclose a few comments as they increased my rate. This apartment complex looked very promising and the setup during showing was impressive enough to get me to sign. But after a year I had to leave due to troubles about the apartment that cannot be fixed entirely. Let me start with the CONS. 1) Building is OLD inside and out and everything is just bent out of shape. Lobby entry floor is very lob sided. Hallway doors can't close because door frame is aged old crooked. Unit balcony and patio doors doesn't close or lock properly because the floor is uneven and gaps throughout frame. Air comes in during winter. Mirrored closet very nice, but rough to open and close. Drawers in kitchen from 1960's I think. They just redid the surface. 2) PLUMBING. No hot water. Hot but not enough to comfortably take a clean shower. Hit and miss actually. Water mysteriously gurgling and coming out of kitchen sinks. A few times it would gush out black stuff. Just old pipes or old clogged pipes. 3) NO SECURITY. Homeless people young and old sleeping in stairways and walking about parking structures day and or night. The onsite manager June is pretty quick in kicking these guys out day and night but cameras would be helpful. Especially when you have nice cars like Audi's, BMW's and Mercedes that come in and out. No break-ins but just for the price and tenants that pay these high rent a camera would be cool. 4) HIGH RENT. They increased my rent but I come to realize that it's not worth the rate. Moved out to Medallion for about the same price. Much better facility for the rate with plenty more amenities. 5) MANAGEMENT: Takes a while to get people to fix things. June is very quick to respond but he can't go beyond approving vendors to just do the job. Maintenance and vendors are constantly walking in and out looking and estimating. New building manager came, young guy, never smiles and looks lost. But no progress. LET me at least mention some PROS. 1) It's pretty quiet. Neighbors keep to themselves. Not much noise but the main street Normandie. 2) LOCATION: Very convenient if you are a Korea town fan. Walk everywhere. Pretty Safe area. 3) ONSITE MANAGER: June Mock is the onsite manager. Always attentive. Makes you feel like an appreciated tenant. Good guy. The building in front looks better for same rate. Parc Meridien rates was a bit high but I was just tired of the building anyways. Had fun for my year though. Good Luck. read more

I am finally out of this place. Its a complete scam to be lured into a high rent paying apartment that has constant issues straight from the start. Issues that are not normal. Constant toilets and bathtub overflow, when I don't use. Come home to wet floors and carpet and its not normal and they want to charge you for the buildings plumbing problems. Holes everywhere. Holes under the sink. My neighbors ceiling fell off and it took the management days to respond and days to fix. Roaches that has subsided due to cold weather but was a constant sight when I moved-in. Wait till spring and summer. Big roaches. Small roaches. NO CAMERAS. NOT EVEN 1. Homeless people sleeping inside our building stairs. Strangers roaming about. We are constantly getting police entering our building and strangers getting arrested in our building and TODAY our mailboxes got broken into. Mailboxes here are constantly broken into cause its outside the building.??? Why would you pay beyond $1100 (This place is nearing $1400 for a small 1 bed) for an apartment that has no security cameras. There are BMW, Mercedes and Lexus in the garage. You would think the owner would be considerate to have 1 camera. NOTHING. Im moving out for a pleasurable comfortable apartment near downtown with better views, better sunlight, better secure home feel and better amenities. ZERO Amenities here but rent is like as if they have. Nothing. Their laundry room is constantly taking quarters and filled with teenagers smoking pot. This place boasts about granite and stainless steel fridge. This is standard in any apartment around $1200. This place is a pretty box with old scraps on the inside. My unit had old carpet from before I moved in and they want to raise my rent close to $1400. The manager June who lives there is the only asset this building has. He will help you 24/7. He runs around trying to fix-up the buildings mess. True manager. Gives time to tenants. But he is under the mercy of the naive, lack of awareness to the neighborhood, lack of tenant appreciation property mgmt. Moss mgmt is all show and no result. They come everyday to inspect and inspect and do nothing. Enter your units everyday to do more inspections and do nothing. I think they are eating our food or something. Very curious as to the constant entering of our units. Happy ex-tenant Auditor read more

There is new management here, and the my experience has been terrific. They have been responsive with fixing small issues, their manager always makes sure someone has gotten back to me with any issues. Previous owners did not give af, but I'm pretty thrilled with the upkeep, renovations and esp the change in management. Keep up the good work!! read more

We are glad we ended up moving here. he location is very convenient for us and we love the neighborhood. For the price they are charging for a 1 bedroom apartments we could not ask for much more. The apartment was nicely remodeled when we moved in. The manager always returns our calls in a timely manner and takes care of any maintenance requests we put in and keeps the building clean. They just recently painted the building which gives it a fresh look, with all the upgrades which were recently done we are happy we got in when we did we are under rent control which id really cool as this means that they cannot raise our rent more than 3 percent per year so we do not have to worry about having to move again like we did when our last apartment manager raised the rent by 20% by a greedy landlord. read more

I will give no star if I could. It was nightmare while I stayed. Mostlikly your security deposit will be returned in the amount of less than half that you paid, your rate will continue to increase. You will not get any good response whatever you ask but you will learn a lesson that you made a wrong decision. I also had some mice in the cabinet. There are lots of croches on the street. read more
