    I lived here for about a year before making the decision to move out of state. It's just location…read moreand I would not consider these apartments to be luxury but they are well-managed. Several of my appliances (ac switch), lights, and fixtures (knobs) broke within 3 months of move-in. The maintenance staff are very kind however they seemed to be short staffed (there only seemed to be two) and low on supplies because the most of the replacement items were clearly from other vacant units since they had a short life. I ended up doing some repairs myself. Also they only fixed major items and seemed to bypass smaller ones. I suspect that's why the lights in my apartment went out fast because they were hand-me downs. If you are noise sensitive, as I found out, only rent from the center building because the train comes through pretty often and it's often loud enough to vibrate the eastern buildings at night and insulation isn't that good. The rent increase for the next year was around $100 on top of the additional monthly fees. The leasing consultant also did not tell me that the washing/drying units were not apart of the rental and would be $40 extra per month right until I was there to sign. When I first toured the apartment they were there and it said w/d on the site listing. This apartment complex charges a lot upon move out as well like wall marks and they even claimed painting inconsistencies were damage. The office staff were nice but the move-in/move-out just left a bad impression. The grounds are kept pretty clean and so is the clubhouse area which is nice. The parking garage is also spacious and there aren't any ridiculous parking policies surprisingly. If you are on the younger end or just more outgoing side, just know that it's not really that vibrant of a community despite being on west 7th. Might be a plus for some. If I could've done it again I would have rented closer to southside.

    I've lived in over six apartments across the country, and unfortunately, the fees here are among…read morethe worst I've encountered. My final bill included charges for: Parking fee, Common Area Electricity, Common Area Gas, Drainage Admin, Environmental Protection Fee, Final Drainage Admin, Final Sewer Base Charge, Final Sewer Charge, Final Storm Drainage Fees, Final Water Base Charge, Final Water Charge, Rent, Rent Service Fee, Sewer Base Charge, Sewer Charge, Storm Drainage Fees, Trash, Valet Trash, Water Base Charge, Water Charge, Full Clean Needed, Extra Heavy Clean Charge, Sheetrock Repairs Needed, Trash Out Needed - 1 Bag Total. I've moved out from all my previous apartments across the country and have never charged more than $100 before - Although I have missed something, even if I double-checked, there's no way I left a bag of trash inside. I had a negative living experience here. The external fan could be very noisy, I would advise double check if there are any external fans, especially if you choose the first floor. I have multiple outside my window, and I had to move my bed to living room for weeks, the maintenance is quick to respond, but after two fixes, the noise is still evident. Video for the fan noise: https://youtube.com/shorts/Ymyrzc1tbho?feature=share The heater is inefficient due to its age, I was charged very high electricity fee for a 1-bedroom apartment. Also please be noticed some units don't have washer and dryer installed, you need to spend additional ~$45 per month to rent one, which they did not mention before signing. On a positive note, the staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful. This is not a complaint against any specific staff member. The location is good and the apartment is true to size.

    Recently, the Braden has partnered with a new towing company, Park & Tow Solutions. This new towing…read morecompany is predatory and will tow your car within a couple hours of your registration expiring. Definitely choose the Braden if you want all of your guests to risk getting their car towed and being charged $300 to retrieve it each time it happens. Don't forget the exact minute you registered it either, since you won't be notified to reregister when your registration expired. One example, my registration was set to expire at 11pm at night, and I happened to fall asleep before that since it was late. I woke up in the middle of the night remembering to register my car, and it was already gone at 3am. I've lived at the Braden for 3 years and never had any issues with the previous towing company and that's after registering dozens of cars multiple times throughout my time here. Aside from the new predatory towing company making it risky to have visitors over, more of the resident parking spots have been converted into paid reserved parking spots leaving less room for residents to park their cars. This also happened around the same time the Braden partnered with the new predatory towing company - not sure if it's related or just a coincidence. Also, there is a 3 day maximum that guests can register their car which wasn't much of an issue in the past since there was a free lot across the street - now they tow. Now, the closest free parking if you have a visitor for more than 3 days is a mile away at target. Also, the resident gate on 5th street side no longer works with the sticker they give you for your car, so you have to log into the app every time to open it. This hasn't been working for many months at this point. Additional issues with living at the apartment include having ants invade my apartment from the walls two times in the past 3 months even though I don't leave any food out, keep my apartment clean, and live on the fourth floor. I submitted a request for pest control. It took them a few days to come and spray; however, it was completely ineffective. I had to go to the store and buy my own liquid ant bait to finally get the ants to disappear. While I haven't had any issues with hearing noises through the walls, the ceiling is a different story. You can hear every footstep from your upstairs neighbor, and since the building is getting older some of the floor board have started to creak, so you can hear squeaking every time the person above you steps in that spot. It took a couple weeks for maintenance to come out and fix that issue. Not great if you work from home and hear stomping all day long. Occasionally there are people smoking by the pool despite that being against the rules. Also, the pool gets packed with people in the summer that don't live here with other residents clearly violating the 2 guests maximum policy the Braden has set. This is unfortunate since the pool is one of the Braden's best features - sadly ruined by these issues. Hopefully, you aren't into grilling down by the pool either since the grill has been barely working for the past 2 years. Expect it to take a long time to get the grill to finally ignite, and most likely not all burners will turn on. Worst of all, the temperature gauge is completely broken and falling apart, so you have no way of telling how hot the grill is. The package lockers constantly get filled so sometimes they will leave it outside your door for anyone to take. If you live on the south facing side of the building, expect constant noise from west 7th street with cars/motorcycles revving their engines and speeding down the street late into the night. Expect any maintenance requests to take a few days to over a week regardless if you mark it urgent or not. The hallways used to be nicely scented and cool, but no longer have the same smell that they once had. I have noticed this varies by floor. The elevators take forever and are constantly breaking down. Most these issues I could look past but the new predatory towing company is my final straw.

    Upon arrival, I found that visitor parking was extremely limited, with only one available spot near…read morethe resident exit gate. Unbeknownst to me, the gate -- which moves vertically rather than swinging out -- had no sensors installed. As I was carefully backing out of the space, the gate suddenly and forcefully slammed down on my vehicle, shattering my rear window and damaging the frame. When I contacted the management office, I was informed that the complex takes no responsibility for incidents like this and that their gates are not equipped with any sensors. In 2025, it is shockingly negligent for a residential community to operate heavy mechanical gates without basic safety features, especially when parking spaces are placed so dangerously close to the mechanism. If the complex refuses to invest in proper safety equipment, the very least they could do is block off nearby spaces to prevent incidents like mine. Their lack of foresight, accountability, and concern for visitor safety speaks volumes about how they likely treat their residents. I would strongly caution anyone considering living here to think twice -- if they cut corners on something as basic as gate safety, what else are they neglecting?

I have a video with the noise on the video, but nobody is willing to listen to it and to believe me and that's completely fine. I realize that this is a Weinstein property so they're not going to like me anyway. This is absolutely terrible business. I do not recommend living here. Take your money and run. And then they get offended when they strategically make me uncomfortable and I start getting loud because I do have autism and I do try to avoid any type of conflict but my over the head earphones are no longer work so I have no choice but to listen to the loud noise and quite frankly, it's a form of harassment. This is a copy from my formal Google review and I happen to be a local guide on Google. I do reviews and I take a lot of pictures.

I have experienced 1-2 roaches a week since moving in. Roaches aside, I am killing 2-4 spiders a day, along with silverfish, carpet beetles, etc. Despite maintenance coming to do pest control on a weekly basis, as well as me putting down every bait and powder known to man, it still has not stopped anything from coming in. As I appreciate the team attempting to find a solution, it is still yet to be resolved after 5 months of living here. It is not safe or habitable for me or my pet, to constantly be inhaling these pesticides while this situation has yet to be improved. Massey pest control, who is in contract with the property, says they cannot label my place as "infested" until he speaks to the manager of the complex, while the manager tells me there is nothing she can do since pest control is coming every week. On top of that, my walls are beginning to have black patches all over them that appear to be previously painted over mold. Every morning I wake up feeling ill, only to leave the apartment and feel perfectly fine. Within a month of living here cops came to my door due to a fugitive living across from me, wanting to see if lights were on in the unit, which was just one more red flag of residing here. The halls are full of trash, bugs, dog urine, beer, and USED PADS. I have attached photos and just know after 5 months of convincing myself that this is just "apartment living", I cannot emphasize enough to run away from this property. If you care about relaxation in your own space or your blood pressure at all, do NOT sign a lease here.
