Emily Ackerman helped me locate the perfect property for me and my kids. If I could give her more…read morethan 5 stars, I would. From our very first meeting, Emily's personal service was on full display and made a great impression. She was very thorough in getting to know the characteristics of my dream property, which I very much appreciated. I felt that Emily's wealth of experience in the neighborhood allowed her to provide tailored advice on what was possible and at what price range. I appreciate that she never tried to push me into things that fit outside of my range of characteristics. Her process made me feel heard. Throughout my search, Emily remained very professional and involved, keeping me informed on new listings and neighborhood trends. Whenever there was an open house or property information I needed, she was very quick to provide answers. She took a lead in addressing concerns effectively so that I didn't have to worry about issues. Emily's responsiveness and clear communication throughout the buying process was truly second to none, and I appreciated her ability to be available whenever possible. Even when she was on vacation, her partners were able to fill in seamlessly. I was pleasantly surprised to see no drop off in service, as her partners also where very professional in how they handled my search. Most important in all of this, Emily provided a stress-free experience. Searching for the perfect property and the subsequent buying process causes great stress and can have many hiccups along the way. She was patient with all the different search changes I initiated, never making me feel rushed. She managed a VERY complex real estate transaction with grace, trying her best to minimize my stress. She did this all with tremendous amount of warmth and care, which very much put me at ease. I felt that Emily and her partners truly cared about helping me find the perfect place for me. What more could I ask for in a realty group?

It's rare to be able to take advantage of the perfect combination of insider insight and knowledge along with the professionalism, patience and sincerity The Catalyst Team offered me. They took the time to really listen and support my decision-making process. Their candor and humor made my transaction a pleasure from the start of my search to closing. I surely won't be the first to recommend the Catalyst Team, but I may be the loudest.

Lived here for 2 years- every apt comes with a garage which is amazing in this area. I had an issue…read morewith my shower one night and the on-site super came within 10 minutes to fix. Apt was very clean, repainted, floors re-varnished before I moved in. Some cons are that this is an older complex and there's very little insulation between units- neighbors will be heard! Also no on-site parking for guests, street parking in Cedar Grove is restricted at night so you have to call the police to let them know the car belongs to you.

It is amidst a lot of shopping, restaurants, transportation and schools. It is also a 10 minute drive to two beautiful parks, Verona Park and Cedar grove park. The best part of living here is the management/staff....Eddie, Carlos, Noreen, Ricardo and Santiago. They always greet you with a smile, are extremely accommodating and super friendly. They keep the grounds and facilities clean every day and are quick to respond to any issues that may arise. They are always very helpful to the needs of all the residents here. I also feel very safe living here because of these 5 wonderful and amazing people. I could not be happier and plan to continue living here for a long time to come.

Don't be fooled by the building where the office is located, conditions are filthy and depressing and management is non responsive!

It has it's good and bad - like most places. Though I felt that the people that run it on a day-to-day basis were exceptional. The super and his crew were very helpful and very friendly. The management - or at least the person with whom I dealt via email - was very pleasant and responsive. When I first moved in they set up free yoga classes on the roof which I very much appreciated. They encouraged a "neighborly" atmosphere and most of the people living there would at least say "hi." I moved due to personal reasons. I will always have fond memories (ok, well the elevator being out was kind of a pain but the guys manually running them were also great) of Bridgeline and the people there.

This is not a good place to live it's dirty.

This is a message that was sent by our property manager as you can see, you can't do ANYTHING. GOD FORBID YOU HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO NOT PLAY WITH THEM!!! "Hi Everyone, Just a friendly reminder and advise about noise. Living in an apartment, sound travels. NO matter what, it is inevitable, but we can all do our part to help minimize the disturbances to our neighbors. With the weather starting to change, the holiday season approaching, and many of us spending more time inside our apartments now is a great time to remember living in an apartment is community living. We all impact each other's living experience each and every day. Remember to mind the levels of your speakers especially bass. Don't put speakers or TVs on the floor. Having area rugs on hardwood (which is required by the lease) and furniture does help absorb sound and prevent echoes but does not make your apartment soundproof. Remember that a TV in the bedroom may be good for you, but even at the lowest levels, if your upstairs/downstairs neighbor is in complete silence they probably do hear it at some level. Many residents work from home, please be mindful of that fact. This fact is relative to both sides of the conversation. Your rolling office chair can make your neighbors start to believe they live under a bowling alley, if you are not mindful, and especially if you do not have appropriate protective floor covering and or Rollerblade style, chair wheels. The former can be just as bad as that neighbor's T.V. or stereo that is making you so very angry because it feels like you are at the worst concert ever, with a totally obstructed view, and you can't leave because the band is performing a double encore and... It is taking place in your home. Try not to slam doors. Tell your kids not to slam doors, tell your guest, and tell your pets! When closing doors in your apartment, if you simply turn the handle when closing them, it helps prevent it sounding like it's being slammed. Even if not to you, others may perceive it as being slammed due to the way sound travels. If it is actually difficult to close any of your doors, please submit a work order, so we may help. Remember that if you walk heavy footed, no matter what floor you are on, the noise and vibrations from heavy footed walkers sounds like continual thumping and causes vibration in other units. Of course, this is worse coming from second/elevated floor apartments. However, this is also true for first floor units. Carpeting helps, but it still sounds like loud thumps, so please just be mindful. Don't run up and down your stairs! That one should be a given. It is not particularly safe, your not saving any meaningful time, and it is loud especially to your first floor neighbors. These buildings are designed with stairs and front door surrounding the first-floor apartment bedrooms. If you have read this far, THANK YOU! I am almost done, just a few more things to say. Playing with your kids and pets inside is fun, but banging, bouncing, jumping and running children and pets can cause your downstairs/upstairs neighbors to get frustrated. Both children and dogs tend to be heavy footed and while we all have to have some level of understanding and acceptance, those with children and dogs should do their best to minimize excessive noise Continual barking dogs is another issue that is pretty common but is correctable and even preventable. Generally speaking, be respectful to your neighbors. While being on an elevated floor can be even more difficult at times, lower-level apartments translate the noise to the apartment more than you may think. With a little thought and consideration, we can minimize disturbances to our neighbors. This is community living and we all should always respect each other, always. Thank you all for your cooperation! DO YOU REAALY WANT TO LIVE HERE!! ITS TORTURE!

Except for an old complex to which there is nothing that can be done, this is a great place to…read morelive. As someone who lived here for 3 years, there are a few things that stick out on this place. 1. location: very close to downtown englewood. Since it is walking distance you can either drive your car or take a walk for a quick bite, etc. Also it is in a very safe area. I often forgot the lock the back door and nothing happened for 3 years. 2. Management: this place is run by really awesome people. The manager is very attentive to all the detail about the apartment and will make sure you have a good stay while living there. Superintendents are very good too. They usually fix the issue within a day or two since the request is made. 3. Parking: This place has some outdoor parking spaces that are first come first served, for free. I would say 75% of the time you can park anytime, but sometimes you may be out of luck if you come back home like at midnight, in which case I would just park on the curb for the night and move my car into a lot early in the morning. They also have 50/mo indoor garage if you choose to do so. 4. Ambience: neighbors are very nice, the place has very warm welcoming atmosphere. Very nice place to start a family Now, a couple of caveats: 1. being old: the buildings are old, so heater is controlled centrally (by the way they did a great job at that so i never had issues with that), and a/c needs to be installed for summer. kitchen is ok, but bathroom is also a little outdated. 2. bugs: there are all sorts of bugs crawling through the windows or doors. They are mostly harmless but still may bother you a little bit. 3. lack of amenities: well, it doesn't have things like gyms, pools, etc. If you think these are very important to you, this place might not be yours to move in Even though I had to move out because of specific needs for my life, I really recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a place around downtown. Your stay will be great and may be longer than what you anticipated.
