I highly recommend Amber Apartments.

I rented an apartment here for about six months before I traveled overseas for work a while ago…read more It was a one bedroom apartment off of 14 mile on Mansfield avenue. It wasn't a bad apartment for the cost, but it was in a very old building. There was only two stories and the interior decor and furnishings looked reminiscent of the 70s maybe. Many of the Amber apartments now of course are much nicer and have town houses and condos available to rent now. I had a small bedroom with one small bathroom, but it had a long closet in the hallway, which was part of the living room area. The kitchen was fairly small as well, but functional. It surprisingly had a large dining area that fit my 12 seater table. Don't see much updates to the old apartments since then. It isn't the nicest or most luxurious the most updated apartment, but it worked for six months. If you intend to stay longer, I would advise otherwise.

We chose to end the lease based on the incorrect impression she gave us based on the dire situation we were in. Had she given us a proper breakdown of cost expectation, we may have been moved to make a different decision. A resulting charge that has materialized as a result of her mishandling has been left to collections with no ability for us to resolve it. If you move in here, please expect to be lied to by managers and have thousands of dollars charged to you arbitrarily. Maintenance team is lovely.

My girlfriend and I had a 1.5 year lease during 2022 and 2023. Long story short, with a day left on…read moreour lease, we had planned to come back the final day to grab our final items that were still in the apartment. Most of the items were boxed with the exception of some chairs, a lamp, and desk. Our lease specifically stated we had until 11:59 of that day to have everything out. Having said that, when we returned to get our final load, we could not enter our apartment as our keys no longer worked. Okay, no problem... we went down to the leasing office to tell them and have them open it up which they agreed with and were happy to do. When we entered our apartment, we found that not only was our chairs missing, but our boxed items had been opened and rummaged through. The contents of the boxes were sprawled out on the carpet. Basically every item of worth (watches, clothing, jewelry, and some higher end electronics) anything had been taken out of the boxes and was missing, while cheap items were still laying on the carpet. In total, these missing items amounted to roughly $4,000, almost worth two months of rent living there! When we went to the leasing office to confront them on where the items had gone their only excuses were: we thought you had already moved out and check the dumpster at the back of the lot. Needless to say neither sufficed. We filed a complaint and never heard anything more. I have since found a few of the missing items of sale on eBay and other resale sites. In addition, they have zero cameras in the parking lots and entry ways of the buildings which left me no option to check the cameras. The lack of cameras also came into play when my truck was also broken into overnight along with many other people over those course of us living there. This is unacceptable and I would advise anyone who's looking to live here against it.

The manager of Amber properties are horrible! They basically kicked everyone out so they could raise the rent. I was given a 30 day notice, which included their unethical lawyer holding the notice for a week. She Signed on a Monday, mailed on Saturday. Took an additional week to arrive. I only had 16 DAYS to find a new apartment!! But of course they would have a dirty, unscrupulous lawyer too! The WORST apartment management company with a monopoly of apartments in Oakland County! I suggest ANY apartment complex that is not AMBER!!! The maintenance people do not come and fix things. I had Ivy covering my windows for 2 years. And that Ivy was an easy spot for you guessed it RODENTS to climb to the roof! There were squirrels living in the attic!

Avoid This Place - Serious Health, Safety, and Pest Issues…read more My roommate and I had a terrible experience living here. For months, we dealt with severe plumbing problems, including sewage backing up into our kitchen sink, toilet, and bathtub, which made us both sick. Our closet flooded every time it rained or snowed, and management delayed fixing a large hole they cut in the wall due to mold. That hole also became a point of entry for bugs, including a spider infestation, making the situation even worse. We placed our rent in escrow for three months due to these unsafe and unlivable conditions. Only after months of neglect did they start repairs--and then they served us with an eviction notice, which felt completely retaliatory. I could keep going with how bad this place is. Don't let the workers fool you--when major problems come up, they just move people around or send staff to other locations until you move out or tensions die down. They can't keep anyone in that office, and they switch management companies frequently, blaming tenants for their own incompetence. We have everything documented with photos and videos. No one should have to live like this. Future residents, be warned.

Dishwasher does not function properly to clean your dishes. Water pressure is low. We ran out of hot water when showering because their water heater is tiny as hell and you gotta share it with 4 other neighbors. The washer/dryer units were never cleaned. There would be a pile of dust and lint behind the dryers-can start a fire. The washer water was always dirty so we would never have clean clothes to wear because the inside washer itself was super grimey and oily. A waste of our money to be spending on using the unit down there when you could use the super clean laundromat down the street. These people only care about luring you in by making the landscape look nice and clean, the units to look nice and clean in photos. In reality it's not a great place to live comfortably. They need to update their carpets too they stink no matter how deep cleaned it is.

The boiler has been on the fritz in our building for over 2 years. i have kids and have been…read morewithout heat on and off for this time. I was told the boiler was getting replaced last year and it never did as this winter rolled around for 2024-2025 and having the same issues with the heat. They speak to you in a way to tell you things that may make it sound like they care when they are really just parroting what they know to say to keep you from escalating especially when escalating a concern is valid. I am actually disgusted with this company. They charge you for heat year-round regardless of whether you have it or not. I asked for a reimbursement or deduction from my rent to make up for the heat I have paid for but did not have due to boiler going out and I was told "we truly sympathize with you" however we will not be providing such compensation for your troubles, cold nights and mornings or inconvenience. I think it is also important to note the floors are made out of a plastic material in the kitchen, they break down easy. They are also put into the bathroom and when they get wet, they come up. When you ask them to come fix it, they are going to tell you, "Don't get it wet". The laundry rooms and storage room floors are never cleaned. I have lived here for 6 years and I have never seen them come to clean them; new management even lied to me and told me they have. I am sharing this because you need to be informed in your decision to come to this particular property understanding the exchange of what your rent is going towards and whom it is paying. They do not, absolutely, do not care for or about their tenants. Yes, it is a business, and when you take off the fake consideration and the pretty pool, that is exactly what it feels like in the intention of benefiting Kaftan Communities. I would suggest for anyone that can, go somewhere else, where it feels even remotely possible the person talking to you actually gives a heart and there is not the slightest tone of fraud or closed off heart space.
