So far, I am thrilled with this place. I moved in last Monday…read more Initially, my experience researching the building was admittedly a little bit rocky -- I put in my application and did not hear anything back over several weeks toward the end of the summer, which was frustrating because they do charge an application fee to explore them as an option. I was finally able to get in touch with their assistant property manager, but much to my disappointment (and surprise) I was rejected for residency. As I continued to research places to go, I was beginning to find out that due to COVID, many living spaces around Fairfield county were being lost to college kids whose parents are wary of them living on campus, drying up moving options for people like me who wanted out of where I was, but wished to remain in the area. On a lark, I reached back out to two other individuals CC'd on my email discussions with the APM and asked for a reconsideration. Much to my delight, Matt, a partner at Crestwood, who owns the building, emailed me back the very same night. I advised him of the resources I am working with, fully illustrated my situation and he promised to get back me the next day with an answer as to whether or not we can proceed. He absolutely followed through and made good on his word. After giving me a call personally to let me know the good news the next night, we chatted quite a bit about self-funding through grad school (never a cheap prospect) and he inquired as to what space I'm interested in, do I have any specifics or preferences? He really went out of his way to gauge what I wanted so he could connect me with the best fit. I ended up taking a spot on the 10th floor in a bright, airy apartment with outstanding views and high ceilings (I'm on the north side of the building, facing the Fairfield County Courthouse and overlooking the Arcade) It is clear the owners take good care here - the lobby is spotless, the elevators and common areas are all equally inviting and everything overall has been an absolute breeze. I can't thank Matt enough for taking the time to understand my individual circumstances, the time limit I was facing where I was and through that, enter into a business relationship that I feel completely confident in. A couple tips for living downtown: 1. It is not scary. Fairfield county is absolutely horrid when it comes to rental pricing and Bridgeport is frequently overlooked. While all the attention goes to the North End, landlords know this and the rents are becoming on par with Fairfield, Norwalk, etc. People historically have overlooked downtown because of a non-existent crime element that I have yet to see and haven't seen down here in quite some time. I've spent a lot of time down here over the years and It's a hidden gem. 2. As Bob Dylan once said, "Watch the parking meters!" While parking around the block is pretty easy to get, you would be amazed at how quickly the meter maids come out. They've got little handheld receipt tape things and they'll cook up a ticket for you in seconds flat. You get a reprieve over the weekends, but set a timer on your phone or watch and you'll never have an issue. 3. Invest in a pull-cart. While the garage is not far from the building at all, you don't want do the one-trip shuffle with armfulls of groceries. I took this advice myself and it is lifechanging. 4. Always, ALWAYS order your coffee from the Dunkin' downstairs in advance on the app - you do not want to be stuck in the deluge that is the workforce of People's Bank tower next door, city hall or the angriest court staffers on earth at one of the two courthouses nearby

Everyday that we lived here, I felt a nagging in my head that we had not made a good choice. The staff is ok - the property manager changed hands twice during our time here which made things disorganized and in general is not a good sign. Daryl was great, as was one other girl who worked in the office (blonde hair, can't remember her name), but the others gave us dirty looks every time we went in. And the maintenance staff, while very friendly, didn't seem to know what they were doing and every single time something broke or went wrong they had to come back at least 2-4 times before it was actually fixed. They really play up the amenities, but the gym equipment is crappy and often broken and we always found dog crap on the volleyball court. Important things to keep in mind: 1. We lived in the first few buildings, closest to the main office, and our neighbors were great. However, this is not typical. The building accepts section 8, and what's more, there are MANY families with young children. We met people who had nightmare stories to tell about noise and disturbances (the walls are definitely paper thin). And the pool was often crawling with kids to the point that we wouldn't even stay. When you're at the pool, security comes by and checks for your resident ID, but kids splashing everyone and screaming - that's ok. 2. Your address is Trumbull, but you're living in Bridgeport. And not a nice part of Bridgeport either. Forget about walking anywhere. There was actually a shooting RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from the complex while we lived there, and we'd heard about car and apartment break ins. There is security but I think it's very easy to get past them. If I had a friend moving to the area, I would definitely want them to know the above and what they're getting into! This is the third managed property that we lived in (the others were with Archstone and Mid-America Apartments) and this was the worst!

Long story short, I moved into the apartments on the green in Milford and within a short time, Metro Star started a construction project yards from my apartment window. They didn't tell me this was going to happen before I signed my lease, and have withheld any type of information about the project from its residents since then, like how long it is supposed to last or expected disruptions during the project. I had a nice view, in a quiet apartment (which is why I chose it), and now there is zero view and construction noise from 7 am to 7 pm, sometimes 7 days a week for the past 8 months or longer. I tried to be understanding, but the disruptions became more and more - blocking access to the building's parking, yelling and screaming workers, trucks coming in and out all day, idling for hours at a time causing such bad fumes I can't even open my windows at night after they leave because of the risidual smell. Add to that, there are workers staring directly into my apartment, literally yards away. I realize that Metro Star is a company and that as a company they have a right to build new units, so I asked nicely to be let out of my lease a few months early, and was told no because it would violate the Fair Housing Laws - a lie. When I pushed back against this perversion of the law, I was simply told no, they don't let people out of their lease for any reason. So I asked if I could move to another unit or building away from the noise, and was told I could but would be charged $1,500 fee. I am not sure who made that nonsensicle decision, but charging a penalty for a resident that wants to sign a new lease on a new unit but charging them $1,500 for the "honor" seems like maybe someone needs to go back to school. The last email I received sums it up perfectly, and this is a direct quote: "I'm sorry to say management has denied any concessions for the construction." The rent here is NOT cheap. There are MUCH better buildings in the area and there are MUCH MUCH better landlords. The greed that Metro Star exhibits is disgusting. They already have such a bad reputation in the community for overbuilding; and from the folks I have spoken to, it will only dive deeper into the sewer due to their lack of any kind of resident relations. Bad business practices result in bad business performance and I am bummed because I feel Milford is going to have a bunch of empty apartment buildings that will fall into disrepair as Metro Star mismanages their apartments into the ground.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after giving management multiple opportunities to address…read moreongoing concerns, I feel compelled to share my experience. The biggest issue at Ten Trumbull is the management. The property manager, Marisa Mason, has been the most unprofessional manager I have ever dealt with. Rather than addressing residents' concerns, she often dismisses them or talks over people. On one occasion, when I called about an issue, her response was, "If you don't like it, you should get out." When I followed up regarding an ongoing issue with a downstairs neighbor, she replied, "What do you want me to do about it?" Those are not appropriate responses from someone responsible for managing a residential community. Whenever concerns are raised, the response is often, "You're the only one complaining," instead of taking the issue seriously. Problems are ignored until they become much larger. One of the biggest safety concerns has been the front entrance gate. It has been broken for months, allowing random people and suspected drug activity onto the property at all hours. This community is advertised as gated, yet management has allowed this security issue to continue for an unacceptable amount of time. The front desk has also been disappointing. On multiple occasions, deliveries such as flowers or groceries have been left unattended at the entrance instead of notifying residents. This creates an unnecessary risk of theft and shows a lack of basic customer service. Communication from management is consistently poor. A fire inspection was scheduled for the end of June, but when the day arrived, no one showed up. Residents received no explanation until several days later. Keeping residents informed about scheduled events should be a basic responsibility. There have also been repeated fire alarms caused by people smoking in the stairwells, requiring entire buildings to evacuate. When I reported this concern to the front desk, Rachel hung up the phone on me. Evacuations are serious safety events, and residents deserve to be treated with professionalism and respect--not dismissed. Another major concern involves an aggressive dog that lunged at us. This is a serious safety issue, particularly for families with children or anyone encountering the dog in an elevator or common area. To my knowledge, no meaningful investigation or follow-up occurred. It feels as though management consistently avoids addressing issues rather than resolving them. I've also never seen the property manager walking the community or proactively inspecting the property. She appears to spend most of her time in the office, and there have been multiple occasions when she was unavailable during normal business hours. We have been trying to resolve an issue since January and have sent multiple emails over the last three weeks without receiving a response. When I called the office, I was told she was "on leave," but staff could not say when she would return. Meanwhile, she has continued responding to Google reviews. To the corporate office: I strongly encourage you to review the management of this property. Residents deserve a manager who communicates professionally, follows through on concerns, keeps the community informed, and prioritizes safety. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. This property has the potential to be a wonderful place to live, but poor management has allowed it to deteriorate. The lack of communication, failure to address legitimate concerns, and unprofessional treatment of residents have created unnecessary stress and frustration. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend renting at Ten Trumbull. If you encounter a problem, don't expect timely communication or meaningful assistance. Save yourself the frustration and consider other options.

There's also roaches that come from other apartments no meticulous you keep your place. Hollow doors inside. Loud careless landscaping ( they don't care that residents are living there),Car alarms frequently going off at all times of the day including night. You will hear the roars from the highway which is right next to the complex. Be prepared to hear dogs barking day and night . To top it off, the office inside , Natasa and Emma , do absolutely nothing all day. They do not do anything about your concerns or questions. In fact, they do not have any answers . The management , Marisa and Narineh are not just horrible but they send nasty rude emails and are equally rude on the phone. I even had Narineh email me and not only dismiss my concern completely but basically said screw you and your child, I do not care. This is not a family friendly complex, they do not care about you or any concerns, they will gaslight you by saying you are the only one complaining . Not peaceful and neighbors are inconsiderate. Don't fall for the facade of the clubhouse, it's not of the same materials for the apartments In response to the automated owner response: You do not monitor the landscaping at all especially when there's one person in the office chatting away on their phone. There's no way for them to actually monitor since they do not leave the clubhouse. Several people have complained about the excessive noise and they haven't done anything about it. Sorry to hurt your feelings but your front desk personnel are always on their personal phones quite often and no they do not work hard at all to address any concerns. All concerns are met with " we can't do anything about that" . A broken gate in the front has never been fixed for over 3 weeks now. When Natasa was asked about it, she said " which gate? Ooohh that gate ". No answer on when it would be fixed although people are PAYING for security . Marisa and Narineh are probably one of the most unprofessional and dismissive people I've ever come across with nasty attitudes . Dismissed my partners real valid concerns despite having two young boys herself. The inside materials are definitely not high quality. You are blatantly lying and I understand you are lying for the sake of your company image but please show some dignity and morals and do not lie any further to the people. I am the one living here, you are not. Thin walls, drafts from the cheap 2 pane Home Depot windows. You can feel the floor shake when someone does laundry below. I can honestly say that "project " buildings are of greater quality than Ten Trumbull . We had roaches before we even moved our things into the place. Bottom line, stop lying, you do not address anyone's concerns . You have an incompetent front desk who doesn't care to do anything but show tours. Extremely rude managers. Definitely NOT the definition of a community . Friendly emails and concerns were sent to you with nasty and hasty replies. A better response would have been to have an employee meeting to address and train them better. The fact that you are defending them means , once again, proving you are dismissing the obvious problem. Again!
