  Great experience overall! Me and my wife have been living here for the past 2 months, and all our needs have been addressed. Great location at an area with lots to do!

  We had such a good experience moving into the Kent. We arrived from Minneapolis after work hours and our property manager, Carrie, and her staff were so accommodating to us regardless of the fact that we were arriving so late. They helped direct us to where to park and everything we needed to know to get into our unit and unload all of our things. The apartment itself was clean when we arrived and since then, the staff is always willing to answer any questions we’ve had.

  Where to start. This building has a luxury facade, but in reality, the "hardwood" is cheap laminate, and every other surface is just a sticker or glued on paper to give you the initial impression of luxury. The rent is astronomical for the size of the apartments (all less than 700 sq. ft.), and the very limited amenities are in disarray. Their belief is that the location, which is great, warrants the rent, but they neglect every other aspect of the building and living conditions. Not a single thing has been updated since I've lived here (7 years). Ever since the property management turned over a couple of years ago, everything has gone downhill. The elevators are a safety hazard, with issues escalating to the city and fire department because the building refuses to address. Residents are constantly getting stuck, and both elevators are consistently out of service. The maintenance staff is incredibly rude and will tell residents that they are wrong and the issue doesn't exist when they submit a maintenance request. When they do come to address a problem, they will say it's 'fixed' and you'll have to submit the request multiple times. The staff, particularly Carrie, is unprofessional and hostile and it's impossible to get in touch with any leadership because she will not provide contact information for her manager. It's weird and concerning that she withholds that information. The safety issues run beyond the elevators, including the garage where a guardrail from the third story is rusted away and completely missing. Recently they zip tied a piece of wood to the guardrail as a 'fix', but they do not truly remedy any issues. I've been locked out of my apartment, the doors to the building consistently lock people out, and occasionally lock people in. There are other doors to exit from, but for the price of rent, these issues are unreasonable. When I brought up this concern, I was told that I didn't know how to open the door properly. The door to the garage is often improperly locked and left unsecured. Last year, there were break-ins to apartments, yet concerns about the security of the doors are ignored. I would not recommend the Kent to prospective renters.

  The building is fine, but the 2 elevators are rarely working. Living on an upper floor has been extremely hard with all of the maintenance and operability issues on the elevators. Expect 1 or more to be down every week, and the building owners refuse to fix the issue which has been going on for multiple years.

  I have had a great experience living here so far. The property managers, Carrie and Russ, are always very nice and helpful. The units have updated appliances there is a nice workout center. The location is also perfect. Nothing but good things to say!
