Not worth the price

I lived here 8 months and broke my lease early. The carpets in the hallways were never clean so it always had this musky smell. Water was always turned off and construction right next door has been going on ever since I moved in. Theā€¦Ā See More >

            Beautiful newly renovated apartment. Was impressed on how quickly the team got back to me after applying. The leasing staff were friendly and were able to answer all of my questions. The apartment space is great!

              The community has been great! The overall welcoming environment, the church, and the proximity of establishments make the community feel strong. There are also meet ups and other group events once can search online to get more involved.

                Good so far, aside from move-in. Nice apartment, great location. Very close to the Blue-Orange-Silver Metro line at McPherson Station. At the base of 14th St., great restaurants and bars nearby. Whole Foods is the closest grocery store.

                  So far we have had a great experience at the Phoenix. The staff helping us with move in and at the front desk are very friendly and very responsive. Our apartment is pretty sound proof, which is great for the busy area.

                      Great location and solid building. Maintenance staff is friendly and attentive. Property management works hard. Building is not perfect (very old, lacks basic amenities) but it has a decent price for the value.

                        Very positive so far. Quiet neighbors, solid old building, nice renovations, great staff, very convenient. I wish the laundry room was bigger, and that there was a bicycle room, and that the front desk was 24 hour like 1600 or Sedgwick are.

                                The building has some redeeming qualities, like Willis, the maintenance manager who was helpful, kind, and prompt.

                                    The location cannot be beaten but I do think it is overpriced for a studio. Rooftop is often trashed by people who stay via air bnb or others who are not permanent residents. Bugs do also tend to be a problem.
