Poor management mixed with declining quality, aging buildings, and increased rent costs have pushed us away. While rent used to be a value, for what they currently offer, there are much larger, nicer, and newer options available. Glen Hill's claims to be "smoke free" as we signed a non-smoking agreement in our lease but our experience has shown otherwise. About a year ago, new neighbors moved in. Almost immediately, the hallways in our building started reeking of cigarette smoke. We then started smelling smoke inside OUR apartment, especially in our bathroom. We raised concerns about the smell and that it seemed that the ventilation was too poor to isolate our unit. Management waved their hands and dismissed our concerns. We've repeatedly complained to management about this and outside of a passive aggressive email, nothing has been done to address the problem. This is not the only rule that management doesn't enforce. It's not uncommon for broken down or damaged vehicles to be abandoned in the parking lot. Per our lease: "A vehicle is unauthorized or illegally parked in the apartment community if it: (1) has a flat tire or other condition rendering it inoperable..." There is a car that was clearly in an accident with a flat tire that hasn't moved in two weeks sitting in the lot as I write this. There was also a car left in a space for almost three months in the middle of winter at the end of last year. Given our lot is nearly full every day, space is at a premium. We've also dealt with several packages being stolen from our building. There is only one large parcel box for both the buildings in our section (about 20 units) and the office is closed after 5, so packages get left outside frequently. Beyond that, the buildings are old and poorly insulated from warm and cold weather. During the winter months, I've seen electrical bills of $300+ and during the summer, the power hungry in-wall AC can barely keep the main room cool. It's nearly impossible to keep the humidity at bay in the summer and this has begun to effect the paint on our walls, with most of it cracking from the extreme dry cold of the winter mixed with the muggy humidity of the summer. Speaking of old, we requested to upgrade our locks (we even offered to provide the hardware, we just wanted permission) and were told that we couldn't do so, without so much as a discussion about the idea. Our new apartment offered that as an upgrade option. Lastly, the move-out process has been frustrating and confusing at best, with little proper explanation from management. Compared to the wonderful move-in experience we've had with Ogden, we are itching to complete our move.

I have been at Glen Hills for a couple years. The biggest reason that I chose this apartment…read morecomplex was because of their accommodation to dogs. They don't restrict on age and they have a huge grassy area for walking and playing with my pup. The apartment is decent; not very modern and it could do with more insulation. When asked to fix things in the apartment, they are quick to check it out and try to fix it right away. I like that it is in a secluded area and it generally pretty quite and you don't hear much traffic. They increase our rent every year but don't make any changes to the quality of our apartment buildings, I wish they would update our old appliances if they are increasing our rent.

We put money down to hold our spot and as we were driving away a man from a showing I had canceled called to insist we come look at his brand new townhouses on Humboldt. We did, and were wowed, but loved the character at JHL and told the owner of the townhouse no thank you. I took the weekend to think about it and after crunching numbers/pros cons, I changed my mind only because: 1) Price. It would have cost between $4-5k more (than our other option) to live at JHL over two years factoring in parking, ALL utilities (even trash), and some nonrefundable amenities/pet fees. 2) Convenience. JHL Only has surface lot parking (not covered), which costs $80/month. Our other option had two attached garage spots included in the price of rent. 3) Location. I didn't love the feel of the neighborhood. I know Walker's Point has a lot of great restaurants etc. but it didn't feel like a place I'd feel comfortable walking the dog/running at. 4) Some minor cons: utilities would probably be ridiculous at JHL because of the huge windows/very large size of the unit we were interested in, electric range instead of gas range (as someone who cooks almost every night, that was something I really wasn't looking forward to), stand up showers instead of bathtubs. All that being said, the unit we were wanting to rent was incredible. 18-foot ceilings, tons of natural sunlight, great views, incredible warehouse character -- all concrete, exposed ductwork, expansive loft windows. It had in-unit laundry and a dishwasher, both of which are non-negotiables for me at this point in my life. Shaina, the person who represented JHL and showed us the space, was incredibly kind, prompt in her responses, and wonderful to work with. She was also flexible when we were trying to negotiate rent based on being willing to sign a longer lease. After we changed our minds, she returned half of our application fee, even though it was pretty clear at the time we paid it we would not be getting it back if we were approved and decided not to live there. She waited for me to move and then mailed it to my new address. I was really impressed with that customer service. I'm still sort of sad we didn't live there even though I love our new place. Our new place is brand new with awesome amenities and I really love the neighborhood, but there's just something about the character of a loft.

It's definitely on the pricier side but pretty comparable to other downtown Milwaukee complexes. Since I've been here, there have been a few safety issues but Fortress quickly acted to increase security and I have personally never felt unsafe. There are community events fairly often and management is usually quick to respond whenever I reach out. I'd definitely recommend Fortress if you're looking to move. COVID Precautions: When COVID hit, management was quick to put social distancing into action. Community rooms were closed for a short period and masks were required when not in your apartment. Now, masks are still required in any community areas but all community rooms are open for use with social distancing measures in place.

RUN, RUN, RUN for your life!…read more On June 9th at 6:30 a.m., I was walking to the basement for coffee in the community room - I had my jammies on and my "all you need is love" coffee cup. You need more than love to live at this building- you need to carry a gun and mace. As I approached the hallway corner outside my door near the elevator on the 5th floor of the Main Bldg., I turned the corner, almost dropping my coffee cup. A man was sitting on the floor staring up at me. He was intentionally blocking my way. As he quickly began running toward me, I froze long enough to gasp for air - I then turned back, barely escaping into my apartment and locking the door. I was terrified as I stood there shaking. I called management and they called the police - apparently, the office says, this is Milwaukee - this stuff happens all the time. Not where I live it doesn't. The rent is insanely expensive and there is zero security, literally none at all. They have cameras but no one monitors them - they provide a fob to enter the building, but once you're in you can access anywhere you want. They have several blind spots in the building as well as the stairwells that are not monitored by video cameras. When I called the Milwaukee Police and asked if they could do anything about this and the officer I spoke to said, "I'm so sorry you had to go through this - you live close to a really bad area - I would hate for any of my family to have to live like this - I would leave as soon as possible, if you can - there is nothing we can do other than beef up patrol - once the trespassers enter we don't have any way to know." Anyone can enter the building - people let people in, buzz them up, and the entry door remains open for quite sometime. The management needs to install fobs to access various parts within the building and on-property security to monitor the cameras and protect the residents by walking the building, and regularly checking the un-monitored stairwells. I learned about another incident that happened the previous Friday - a man tried to break into a female's unit and was found hiding in the stairwell. It is dangerous! All the community facilities are in the basement - and once a trespasser is there or attacks someone, it would be hours before anyone found them. My life is more valuable than the fee they want in exchange for me to break my lease - I have been here one month and they are holding me to the 14-month lease in spite of the fear I feel for my life given their failure to provide a safe and secure premises - it's unbelievable! The only alternative is the payment of three months rent to break the lease - $4,800.00 - really? Within this month of occupancy I also suffered a fall because they failed to mark a dangerously unnoticeable sidewalk step; though they now have a bright yellow strip marking the step. I have been in physical therapy twice a week since the fall and am still in severe pain. They also allow large dogs and do nothing when tenants fail to keep them under control. I was in the elevator with my two small dogs and the door opened to a large dog that the owner could not control and it was lunging at my pups and me - we were unable to exit the elevator and had to go back up to another floor and out another elevator to safely exit. My current unit is on the 5th floor with the roof top directly above. Often there are people who climb over the rooftop barriers and party above my unit. Management does nothing, and they are unable to catch them given their lack of security. This is a beautiful property, with much potential - but I am warning anyone who values their life not to rent from the Fortress. You may not walk out alive; or if you do, severely injured both mentally and physically.

Tenant for 4 years.. Nice sized apartments with a nice balcony/porch. Ample closet space. Private…read moreentrances. Pets allowed for an extra fee. Free parking spaces for tenants and garages are available for extra $$. There is 1 coin-operated laundry room for the entire complex (found in the same building as the management office) that has about 8 washers & 8 dryers for your convenience. You get a key for it when you move in. Complex is also in a great location, close to restaurants, shops and other businesses. You're walking distance from Pick n Save, Menards, Kohl's, Marshall's/Homegoods, Target, Chik Fil A, & Panda Express to name a few. Short drive to Walmart and other businesses. Near bus lines and public transport. Now for the downside (note that I'm giving my perspective from my apartment area, other tenants in other buildings may have a different view): old neighbors (when we first moved in) were great. Courteous, not loud, and friendly. Neighbors now? Not so much. In the last year, most of those friendly and quiet neighbors have moved away and the new neighbors who took their place are obnoxious, rude, and have no common courtesy for their neighbors. We've been woken up in the middle of the night by drunk neighbors arguing in the parking lot, arguing in the common walkway between buildings, neighbors talking & laughing loudly on their front steps, etc. I'm not against any of these if they happened during day hours when most people are awake anyways, but being woken up at 2-5am when you have to work in the morning isn't a pleasant way to start your day. It also makes it difficult to keep your apartment windows open when the weather is nice, unless you don't mind the outside ruckus interfering with what you got going on inside your own apartment. God forbid you have a sleeping infant/toddler. Each apartment has some grassy areas in front of their doors. We used to be able to walk barefoot out there as we mingle with neighbors. Now, new neighbors with pups let their dogs shit on all the patches of grass and even on the concrete walkways and don't pick it up. Now, management has tried to help deter this shitastrophe by installing convenient waste bag stations for tenants to use.. but, tenants aren't using them. Walking from your apartment door to your car, you're then hit with the rancid smell of rotting dog feces from all angles. It's so much worse when it's hot out too. You get the smell PLUS all the flies. Yum. You can also find cigarette butts, mini liquor bottles, and other fun memorabilia from a drunken night tossed about the grass. Another negative is how often the office managers are changed. It seems they change out or hire someone new every few months or so. That makes it so that you as a tenant don't really get to build a relationship or repertoire with management. You complain about something being broken or hazardous, and it seems to be forgotten or swept under the rug. If they do respond about a maintenance issue, it usually takes a few weeks to resolve. I have a laundry list of maintenance issues that were noted on our move-in date that have yet to be addressed. As it seems to be the trend, this year we'll be following along the footsteps of our long gone friendly neighbors and saying goodbye to Autumn Glen. The rent hikes along with the listed issues above were the last straw for us. But hey! The apartments are reaaallyyy spacious! That's a big plus!
