I'd like to provide an update since my original review. As you can see from the original review we…read morehad quite the list of issues that were either not getting resolved or getting resolved very slowly. We've lived at the Edge on North Apartments for about 10 months and I have to say the service has improved exponentially. They've hired a Director of Residential Properties who is extremely results oriented and strives to ensure that their residents are being taken care of and happy with their living situations. He doesn't sit behind the desk all day; visits their properties on a regular basis and is quick to address resident's needs. Since he was hired all of our issues were addressed and resolved immediately. It was tough going for the first few months but once everything was fixed it turned in to being a great place to live. It's on the corner of North and Oakland so it's within walking distance of restaurants, bars, shopping, Bradford Beach, Prospect Medical Commons as well as Columbia St. Mary's Hospital. We had a rough start but I'm happy to report they're on the right track and I'd recommend the property to prospective residents. If you enjoy living an active East Side neighborhood the Edge on North is for you!

We've lived at Edge on North for 3 years and have nothing but positive things to say. The building…read moreand maintenance staff are always responsive, timely, and friendly. The building and appliances are all of high quality so there isn't often a need to submit a maintenance request but whenever we've needed to it's been resolved quickly, which is a huge relief compared to experiences we've had with other management companies.

Update, September 2025: Management swiftly replaced all of the appliances in our unit with…read morebrand-new ones, and they are functioning perfectly. Blinds are scheduled to be installed later this month, which will fully resolve the concerns I originally raised. We are very happy with how our property manager, Amber, handled the situation once we were in touch with her; it just took a little time to get there. That said, we now feel confident recommending this building. While move-in was a bit of a snafu, we believe this was a learning experience for all. Amber and her team deserve recognition for their professionalism, responsiveness, and follow-through. Otherwise, the location is amazing, the common areas are very clean and well maintained, and our neighbors have all been wonderful. - The only reason I'm giving 2 stars (instead of 1), is because the concierge and maintenance staff are wonderful, kind, responsive and genuinely helpful. Unfortunately, the apartment itself and leasing are the real problem. The unit I was shown on my tour was much nicer than what I actually received, and this was never disclosed. The kitchen appliances look like they came straight from a junkyard, scratched, stained, broken, and barely functional. I would have paid more for a better unit, but I was never given that option when signing our lease. I didn't expect brand new appliances, but I did expect them to match the quality of what I saw on the tour. On top of that, half the rooms in my unit don't even have blinds. The tour unit did, but I was told blinds and appliances are "luck of the draw" only after moving in, and that I could pay extra for custom blinds. Why would I pay out of pocket to add value to a unit I don't own, especially when the expectation was set during the sales process that I would receive those blinds? Move-in was also tricky. We rented extra storage, but the leasing office couldn't clearly tell us where it was located. We had movers on a tight timeline, and the lack of clarity wasted valuable time (again, the concierge was the only person who was quick to help us here). And there was someone on the team parked in our spot when we arrived on move-in day. I could overlook those mistakes if the apartment itself wasn't so crappy. Bottom line: the non-remodeled units are dated (they look like the apartments I rented in college, like eight years ago, but with worse appliances), and the remodeled units are TINY. And if you lease here, it looks like your risk having a kitchen with appliances that barely work (our oven does not get hot, the fridge is too cold and iced our food and ruined my insulin, and the microwave and dishwasher are literally falling apart.) There are far better and more updated options in Milwaukee at similar price points. I regret signing here and am already accelerating my home-buying search.

This review is based on my experience and is not intended to sway anyone one way or another…read more Context: 1 bed, 1 bath, balcony, south-facing, above floor 15. I've lived at The Moderne for seven months--my first downtown living experience. I'm not picky whatsoever and my non-negotiables were safety, budget, and natural sunlight. While many apartments met these criteria, The Moderne stood out for its height, guaranteeing both sunlight and incredible views. I chose a south-facing unit, and the morning, afternoon, and night views are stunning. ----------------- Main Pros: -The views are unbeatable. Sunrises, sunsets, and the city skyline are all visible from my unit. -The location is prime--Deer District events, restaurants, and bars are all within walking distance. The area feels safe thanks to the Bucks's security presence. -The apartment itself is well-designed, with modern appliances, clean finishes, and thick walls that minimize noise. -Staff shoutout- Mitchell is the best concierge in the city--professional, dedicated, and genuinely kind. The Moderne should value him the way the Bucks would if Giannis wanted another supermax. He's the first person you see when you arrive and the last when you leave, setting the tone for a welcoming and exceptional atmosphere. -There are apartment events for tenants to congregate and socialize as well as local food discounts for Moderne tenants. -Onsite parking is heated, though expensive at $200/month. A $100/month lot is available nearby. --------------------- Main Cons: Fire alarms. In seven months, they've gone off 26 times to my count, at all hours--1 AM, 5 AM, 10 AM Mon-Sun. At first, I evacuated, but after countless false alarms and the same "faulty alarm" excuse from leasing, it's clear this is a serious safety issue. If there's ever a real fire, how would we know? Despite $2K+ monthly rent each, you're telling me it will take 2 weeks for a diagnosis?? GTFOH. Elevators. One of the two west elevators has been out for 28 days and counting. For a high-rise, this is unacceptable. Our lease agreement requires on-time rent payments in exchange for the bare minimum, The Moderne to maintain the property. Expedite the service. You wrote the contract, and you agreed to the terms. Do something about it. Noise. We live downtown, you can't 'fix' the noise, but you can mitigate it. Thus, I strongly recommend living above the 16th floor. Floors 9-15? I genuinely don't know how you tolerate it. Facing south, I overlook 3rd Street, home to bars, clubs, and restaurants. Daytime noise and game-day chatter are expected, but past midnight, most places quiet down--except 3rd Street. Many bars stay open until 2 AM, and Truth Lounge keeps the party going until 3 AM. The issue isn't mainly their music--it's more so the crowd. Police park outside hours before closings, knowing what's coming. Cars and motorcycles with deafening sound systems rattle windows from 1-4 AM, usually on Sundays (less frequent in the colder months). The cops only intervene if a fight breaks out--otherwise, sirens blare, and chaos unfolds. People argue, scream, and flood the streets, turning the area into gridlock. Some say city noise is like white noise--but this? This is relentless. The Moderne can't fix it, and the police won't. If you want some peace, live above the 16th floor. ----------------- Other Inconveniences: The trash chute on each floor was sealed off after six months of living here due to "significant damage," forcing tenants to take the trash to a communal area. My guess (speculation) is that you don't just stumble upon major damage. They might've known of it in the past and, rather than fixing it then, took their chances, leading to this costly mess. Smell. I can't for the life of me fix this lingering smell that has consumed my kitchen. I have used every kind of remedy and haven't found a fix. I see other reviews talking about it, too. My best guess is the shared plumbing system. There are either leaks/cracks in pipes, or they simply aren't regularly maintaining the drain lines that run out of the building, which is causing trapped sewage gas to run back up into the system. Regardless, it's liveable but an inconvenience. Cameras: I understand the need for privacy, but wouldn't it be common sense to install security measures in high-risk areas? The on-site garage is extremely tight, with little room for error on each turn. If someone were to hit my car, they could easily drive off without accountability. With no cameras, there's no proof it even happened. I'm no lawyer, but if it's legal to install them there, why not take steps to protect your residents? ------------------------- I appreciate those who took the time to read this. I focused on the cons in hopes of driving improvements at the Moderne. If these issues, along with others mentioned in reviews, were addressed, this place could be far more competitive. However, as it stands, I don't plan on renewing or recommending it.

It's the third apartment I've lived in and I've never felt more at home here. It's a safe neighborhood and the complex has great amenities. The pool and hot tub are great in the summer, and the fitness center is great year-round. I haven't yet gotten the chance to go in the main building due to COVID-19, but haven't found the need to at this time. Whenever we have needed maintenance, they've been there. The longest wait was one, maybe two, days. I truly commend them on their job. It depends on their workload, but I had a low-priority issue that was taken care of in less than two hours from when I submitted the work order. I can't think of one issue that we've encountered here. I'll most certainly be staying here until I purchase a home. Take reviews from years ago lightly. Whatever was an issue prior has certainly been resolved.

Review for Briarwick Apartments…read more Living at Briarwick Apartments has been a frustrating experience due to the clear favoritism and lack of professional management. It's disappointing to see certain residents receive special treatment while others are ignored or penalized for the same things. Rules seem to only apply selectively, and management consistently overlooks complaints unless you're one of their "favorites." Maintenance requests are often delayed or ignored unless you're in good standing with the front office, and it's become obvious that decisions are made based on personal relationships rather than fairness or policy. Communication from management is poor, and issues that affect the overall quality of living here are either brushed aside or dismissed entirely. If you're looking for a place where residents are treated equally and management is responsive, I suggest looking elsewhere. Briarwick has potential, but it's being overshadowed by mismanagement and a lack of accountability. And tell people you can just move them to is bad business practices and even if you report the the company who managers the property you'll be treating to a warning on your lease and possibly kicked out seriously do better and treat you tenets with respect they pay you food and living cost know your role.

5 Stars - Marlo is the Best!…read more Marlo at Forte is truly exceptional. From the moment I first toured the property, her kindness and empathy stood out. She took the time to listen, answer all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the leasing process. Honestly, she is the reason I signed my lease. She truly took the time to understand my situation, making me feel that Forte was the place for me. Unfortunate circumstances had me seeking a new place to live and I'm so blessed God sent me to Forte and I met Marlo! What really sets Marlo apart is how much she genuinely cares about the tenants. She follows up consistently and makes sure any issues are addressed quickly and thoroughly. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication to helping residents feel at home make Forte an even better place to live. Thank you, Marlo, for going above and beyond -- you're a rockstar!

I moved to Concord in 2021, and the main reason I'm writing this review is because the staff and…read moremanagement truly deserve recognition. I've lived in other apartment complexes before, and I can confidently say I've never experienced this level of responsiveness and professionalism. When something needs to be handled, it gets handled -- and not just eventually. It's timely. It's communicated. And they follow up. That follow-through is huge. You don't feel like "just another tenant." When I walk into the office or reach out with a concern, I feel welcomed and heard. There's a genuine sense that they care about the residents and take pride in maintaining the property and the community. At my previous complex (no shade), things were more of a "we'll get to it when we get to it" situation. Here, there's accountability and consistency. That alone sets Concord apart. Beyond the management, the property itself is clean, quiet, and well kept. The amenities are honestly impressive -- indoor and outdoor pools, cookout areas, a gym, and a full kitchen/event space that residents can actually use for gatherings. It feels thoughtfully designed, not like an afterthought. It's rare to find an apartment community where you have solid amenities and dependable management. Concord has both. If someone is scrolling past old reviews and wondering what the experience is like now, I can say from living here since 2021: it's been positive, comfortable, and well managed.

The few minor issues I have ever had were taken care of either the same day, or the next day. The maintenance/managerial staff have always been polite. I do not find this place to be a dump by any means, nor do I feel I live in a sub-par place. The grounds are taken care of and the apartments are relatively quiet, neighbors pretty much keep to themselves. I cannot speak to the laundry rooms as I do my laundry at my family's house. The rent for a one-bedroom is a great price in Oak Creek, and I absolutely love walking out of my door and not dealing with hallways or neighbors above or below me. Until I can save up for a condo I have no intention on moving. 11 years and going strong at Newbury :)

I have lived at the Newbury Place Apartments for 10 years, and I absolutely love it!…read more I have never experienced the issues the pervious reviewer spoke of, and I completely disagree with the "dump" description she used. This complex is far from being a dump. Management and maintenance have always been friendly, prompt, and helpful with any issues I have had. The last thing I would describe them as are "crooks." I have never experienced ice build up on the windows, mold, or bugs in my apartment. The shoveling was not the greatest; however, since her review, they hired a new company who has been wonderful at keeping up with the snow and salting. What I love about living here are the private entrances with our own patios. It is so nice to not deal with hallways and the noise that comes with it. I love the quiet vibe of the place as well. The only two things that would make it perfect would be garages and W/D in each apartment lol, other than that, pretty good for the price you pay!
