The WORST apartment building in every way imaginable. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! As someone approaching my…read more7th month living here, I can tell you it is NOT WORTH IT! The tour we received was extremely deceitful and here's a few reasons why: 1) Parking - the parking garage at SkyVue is worse than finding parking on campus for class. There is zero guest parking, and they WILL tow you if you attempt to overnight at the leasing office spots. Snow and ice is drafted onto every floor, making going up and down a slippery nightmare. Every turn is a dangerous blind corner. The gate at the bottom is very narrow, and it's been broken for well over half my time living here (meaning anyone has access to your vehicles). The top floor, where I park, has never been effectively plowed or salted. There was a point where I had to put my car in 4wd for a week straight, just to pull out of my spot. 2) Trash - do not let the "trash chutes on every floor" deceive you. Within the first month, all 9 floors had trash pouring out of the chute room. It has stayed that way my entire lease term. The pile is so large that it towers over the doors and spreads throughout the parking garage. Hallways nearby reek like month old garbage. Nothing like stepping on someone's leaking trash bag on the way to your car! 3) Living Space - when I moved in, our sectional couch was so worn down that there was hundreds of pieces of synthetic leather all over the floor. My roommate and I sweep every other day, and somehow it's shedding just as much as it did the first week here. We submitted a maintenance request the first week we lived here, and have submitted 3 since then. I've been told by multiple maintenance workers that "nearly every apartment has asked for new cushions" and "they are so back ordered I can't even give you an ETA". You'd think if this was such a widespread issue, they would order some more, but I guess that's too much work! 4) Amenities - this place is an absolute maze. It's shaped like a figure 8, meaning walking anywhere takes forever (and there's no signs anywhere to help guide you). The grand "48 person hot tub" that they flaunt like a 5-star hotel experience was broken within a few weeks of winter. It doesn't get above probably 95', meaning it feels more like a warm bath. The gym is okay, it's about the size of the lobby you start your tour in and they don't keep it functional year round. I was pretty excited about the Peloton, only to realize that the seat was broken and stuck at the shortest setting the first week I lived there! TL;DR: RUN, don't walk away. For $50-$100 more per month, you can live in some of the nicest apartment buildings in the city. Signing here was the biggest financial mistake I have ever made and I make it big point to make sure nobody younger than me makes that same mistake. The staff are lovely, but that's quite literally the only positive thing I can say about the nightmare that is SkyVue.

The complex is aesthetically pleasing, but that is about it. It is very loud here at all times. I'm…read moreconsistently woken up by people yelling at the pool at random times of the night, screaming in the parking garage, running down the hallways, or playing loud music. If you say anything to management, they tell you to call the on call assistant. Understandable. However, the on-call assistants have continuously done nothing to solve the issues. It's truly not even worth contacting anyone. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll be renting a hotel room during the week of finals and before important events in the future. The parking garage is rather narrow, and the corners are completely blind. You'd think there would be mirrors up to help? But nope. The gate is consistently broken as well, so judge the "gated" garage loosely. The pool area constantly smells like weed, despite the "nonsmoking" promise. So, don't have your windows open unless you want the smell to permeate your entire apartment. For a "high end" apartment, they do not reinforce any of their "rules" and the crowd that's drawn in has no consideration or respect for anyone else around them. The WiFi is pretty subpar as well, but it's free. I'd rather pay for my own internet and actually have decent connection, though. Also no guest parking sucks, though I do try to spend as much time visiting other people away from this complex as much as possible so it doesn't matter that much anyway. Overall, I wouldn't recommend living here. Not when there are cheaper places that are closer to campus. Unless you enjoy obnoxious places and/or sleeping in your closet to get away from the outside noise & people yelling right below you

The Motor Wheel Lofts are a well-dressed version of a repurposed factory -- a true gold standard…read morefor how to restore a historical building. Throughout my time living there, the management was absent and verbally abusive. It is not obvious at first, but Harry Helper, the developer and owner, is married to the building manager, Shelia. Harry's office is in the adjacent building, so he is on the property often. Shelia, however, is rarely on the property. Few people have met her irl. There are cameras everywhere and Harry will use them to stalk and find you at will. He stays in one of the lofts right off the mail room on the first floor and has been known to roam the third floor at late hours of the night and early morning in his pajamas. Yes, you read that correctly. The emails you received are most always from Shelia and she clearly has no beat on the daily operations. A few examples: 1) Shortly after I moved in I noticed a box propped up against the wall near my parking space. I received an angry email from Shelia stating that no personal items are permitted in parking spaces (despite the fact that other residents keep items in theirs) and to move that box immediately. I responded and made it clear it wasn't mine. Multiple additional email were sent to me that had this similar request. I finally gave them three choices to 1) Move said box from my spot, 2) Assign me a new parking space 3) Prorate my parking and I will gladly park outside for free. That did it, they moved the box. 2) A few months later I had a sticker on my driver's side window stating that I am parked on an angle too close to the pile of glass panes stored adjacent to my parking spot. So, again, I offered choices to resolve the situation 1) Assign me a new spot that is not adjacent to delicate items, 2) Prorate my parking and I will happily park outside for free or 3) Move the glass panes to a more safe location. They finally backed off. 3) There was a carbon monoxide leak in the building and one of my dogs had an accident on the elevator as a result. I put in a maintenance request as stipulated in the lease agreement and still received a rather acidic email from Shelia attempting to school me on the proper reporting procedure in such a case. She clearly had no clue that I had put in a ticket hours before her email as the staff had already cleaned it up. 4) I rescued a second dog very suddenly a few months after one of my dogs passed away. Since it was a quick adoption, I didn't get prior approval for this dog. But I didn't feel bad about it because even though I emailed Shelia after my first pup died I continued to receive and paid the second dog pet fee for those two months when I had one dog. Also, other residents have done the same and not getting prior approval wasn't an issue for them. I bumped into Harry about two weeks after I adopted my new rescue. He said nothing about my new dog and only informed me that he had just fertilized the lawn and to take care of the pups. A few days later I got an angry email from Shelia saying I was in violation of the lease agreement. I apologized to her and begged her forgiveness and she was cool. Then a few weeks later, I was walking the dogs early in the morning, and I noticed Harry walking the perimeter of the property. I was off property and noticed he made a b-line for us when we stepped back on property. He proceeded to verbally assault me in the most aggressive way anyone has ever spoken to me. I am deeply sad for Harry as he is an unhappy person with anger management issues. As he yelled, my dogs were barking so loudly and he said that my new rescue had to be off the property in 24 hours. He gave me NO latitude to respond as there was no conversation, he proceeded to yell at me and he commented that he was recording the 'interaction.' I didn't know Michigan renter's laws at the time so I kept my pup at a friend's house. I had to get a lawyer and fight him on this. I brought my rescue pup back home and only emailed notice that I had done so after a few days. And it was only then that Shelia mentioned or rather fabricated incidents of escalating complaints. I got an angry email stating that if I didn't remove the dog from the premises immediately that Harry was going to call animal services and slap me with fines. My lawyer was amazing to guide me through this as Harry had no authority to do any of what he threatened. It was clear after a nearly two month battle back and forth that it had little to do with my dog at that point. One of the more senior residents told me that for some reason Harry and Shelia appear to victimize every resident that has lived in my unit (228 so beware!). I swiftly moved out and they proceeded to erroneously charge me for 'damages' in excess of my security deposit in the amount of $1,600. I pray that Harry and Shelia find happiness because no amount of Rivians or Tesla Cyber Trucks can fill that void.

I moved into a duplex on East Michigan Ave, which was rented to my boyfriend and I from the East…read moreMichigan Ave LLC/Gillepsie Group/Prudden Place Management. We were approved right away, and excited about our move to Lansing. Immediately we were told by the current downstairs neighbors there was an ongoing rodent problem. The neighbors essentially told us they had been listening to mice in the walls of the house since April when they moved in, and the company was actually having to pay to move the tenants elsewhere as a result. We began hearing the same noises right away, and my cat caught a mouse- but we were reassured time and time again the issue was being handled. That said, the downstairs neighbors insisted the house itself had been deemed unable to cohabit ate by one exterminator and encouraged us to keep our eyes and ears open. After the downstairs neighbors moved out, we began hearing individuals come into the apartment in the evenings. I complained about this, not understanding how this was happening, and the most which was done was that the manager- Sarah Frese- wrote a note to the squatters that the police would be informed. In fact, my boyfriend and I didn't understand how anyone was getting into the apartment, and so we went and checked the doors only to discover that weeks after our downstairs neighbors had been moved out, not only were the locks NOT changed on the main entry way doors, they were not changed on the downstairs apartment doors either. We locked the bottom locks of the downstairs apartment- and voila- no more squatters. We also found the mice issue was not immediately resolved, and not only that- we had a squirrel issue. Around October, after the squirrel issue was handled (and only discovered after coming home to a squirrel in front of my upstairs door way INSIDE) we got NEW neighbors. The new neighbors moved in with their trash bags in the middle of the evening. From the first evening the new neighbors were there, they began to cause havoc. The neighbors threw our laundry in the dryer on top of the dryer and onto the floor to make room for their own. They began immediately partying most nights of the week, blaring their music so loudly that our two children were waking up in our UPSTAIRS apartment over the sound of their fans. Pot smoke wreaked from stepping into the main entry ways, and the soon we were making phone calls to the non-emergency line four times a week, while simultaneously EMAILING Sarah each time. After we began contacting the police due to the noise complaints, the neighbors began harassing us, screaming through the ceiling. Twice the lease holder verbally threatened me, both times in front of my five year old. At one point the neighbor saw my ten year old daughter in the window, and began threatening her as well. I requested the name of the girl on the lease to attempt to get a PPO for my children and myself, and Sarah refused that info stating confidentiality. In the last days of our stay in the apartment, the police complained to us about how often the noise complaints were happening. The police told us the management company should be resolving these issues, and I informed the police I had been emailing for three months, and my manager had told me there was almost nothing she could do, and to continually call the police if we had issues. I told the cops I agreed that they have better things to do, and actually gave the management companies number per their request because they found it so shocking that a manager at a management company would rather have tenants getting visited by cops then simply taking care of the issue themselves. The morning after our next and last noise complaint, the downstairs neighbor- Lauren Velez- poured bleach into a load of our laundry, destroying everything in our laundry- including my sons bedding, and a good handful of our clothing. I have had to file a police report for vandalism, and Sarah has once again said there is nothing she can do It is now January and we have moved out of the apartment. The neighbor Last week- the 27th- our neighbors received their FIRST lease violation for NOISE. This is DESPITE three months of emails about the noise, pot smoke, cigarette smoke, verbal threats of physical harassment, and vandalism of our things. This company is a trumped up version of an old slum lord. Not only would i NOT recommend this company, but i would LOVE for the management company as a whole to be entirely cleared out if not taught some normal, functioning practices. Gillepsie Group seems okay in taking advantage of poor people.
