The building manager is barely there, so ann old bigoted woman who cannot help you in anyway with anything is the point of contact most days, and the owners are beyond rude. The apartments come dirty, and then they charge you for it when you leave, even if you live there 9 years and leave it spotless. The pool burns your skin because the idiots don't know how to take care of it. The parking lot will give you a flat tire. The elevators break down monthly and it took them a year to fix the one. The list goes on. It's a terrible place to live and you should absolutely never consider this shit hole.

The people who worked there are very nice people... The maintenance guy is one of the nicest people I have met in the state of Ohio who works there He's also probably underpaid and underappreciated They basically use him to do everything in the building and yes, he is a black man love all people just being honest how the maintenance man was being treated by the corporate office was very upsetting to me

I have lived in Castlewood for four years. There are several reasons I love living here:…read more- The apartments only share one wall with a neighbor. The master bedrooms are in the center and don't share a wall with neighbors. This helps keep it quiet. - The office staff is wonderful! Sherrie and Lisa are so kind and they always go the extra mile. They try to make the best experiences for residents hosting events, taking care of issues and constantly working to improve the building. If you have any issue, they take it seriously and do their best to handle it quickly. They take the time to get to know the residents and they really care about your experience here. - The maintenance team. Chris and Al are the best! Unlike other places I've lived, they really respect that your apartment is your home. They get to jobs quickly and always ask if there is anything else they can help with. Even if it's just a flickering lightbulb they get to it right away. - You can easily walk to all the best places on Detroit. We have underground parking - that is included in rent - so you don't have to worry about street parking.

The hardwood floors were redone before I moved in and that was a selling point. There is a weird little gargoyle. I tell myself that I live in a castle that I share with a bunch of other people. It is the truth so I believe it. One of the main reasons for living here was the close proximity to Edgewater Park and the Shoreway. It is really easy to get anywhere in the city from this point. I can get to the West Side Market in 5 minutes and Tremont in 7. It usually takes around 20 minutes to get Cleveland Heights area. My good old mom is only 2 and a half miles down the road in Lakewood so that is an added plus. If only you had the best mom in the world like I do!

The front grounds are very well kept. Lawn is always trimmed, snow is always removed quickly. Obviously, I can only comment on my apartment. It is fricking lovely. I am seriously happy to pay my rent monthly. Beautiful hardwood floors. Pretty plaster walls. Updated kitchen. Fixtures are very pretty. View onto Lake Avenue is lovely. Let's talk parking garage. Wow. To say I was intimidated would be an understatement. I will have to add a photo. However... $50 a month to NOT have to find street parking every month... Priceless. Laundry facilities... Fair at best. I believe they found the smallest machines possible. And yes...$2.00 to wash, $1.75 to dry. Oy! And only three washers and three dryers. Many times, one machine is down. But usually repaired quickly. Oh! And they have a generous pet policy. Lots of bigger dogs. Nice to see! My standard poodle was welcomed with open arms. All in all... Great building. Mostly friendly folks. Great management staff (AZ Management). They are professional and responsive. I will seriously miss this place. Really.

All pluses. The thing that sells me on 200 West is the staff. If we ever have any questions, they get back to us THAT DAY. If we need maintenance on the apartment, it's almost always done within 24 hours. I can't express enough how great it is to have staff that you're able to get a hold of when you need them. The building is family-owned and I think that makes all the difference in the world.

Miranda was excellent as she gave me a great tour, answered all my questions, and was always prompt and helpful. Chuck, the maintenance man, was also fantastic and consistently went above and beyond and so friendly. Laundry on the 3rd floor was fine, though it could definitely get busy at times in the evenings. Overall, I really don't have any complaints. The one bedroom apartment I rented was clean, spacious, and was on the more affordable side for Lakewood, especially being PRIME location.

Do not rent here. This place is the definition of putting lipstick on a pig. Poorly done…read morerenovations on a falling apart building. The location is great but that is the only positive about this complex! The worst thing about 1327 is the cockroaches. They are everywhere-- lights in the hallways, vents in your bathroom, everywhere!! We submitted multiple maintenance requests about this and very little was done. They put some traps in a few spots-- that does not solve the major infestation issue. Their maintenance request line is not run by AIY-- it is a third party company so getting in contact with anyone actually familiar with your building is always a struggle. We went without hot water multiple times. Most recently there was a four day stretch that they entire building had no hot water. AIY did a horrible job communicating with residents when the issue would be resolved. During the last two months that I lived here the complex's fire alarm went off late at night and we had to evacuate. We were never updated on why the alarm went off or what was being done to ensure it did not happen again (which it did several weeks later). The laundry unit (which they will tell you was recently updated) does not work. Your clothes will not dry unless you run the dryer multiple times--which becomes ridiculously expensive. We took our clothes to a laundromat the entire time we lived here. Our apartment had severe water damage near the windows in the living room both bedrooms. We submitted a request about this and someone checked it out, said they needed to follow up when it dried, and never did. There was mold growing on the carpet in one of the bedrooms due to a leak in the drywall and we were charged a $100 carpet cleaning fee upon move out for it. That is ridiculous as we submitted the maintenance request and the property did not do their job in fixing the issue and instead blamed the resident. Not only do I suggest staying far away from this unit but from any AIY property! They have a severe lack of communication, very low standards for the quality of their properties, and they are never helpful or accommodating when you reach out with an issue or concern.
