For anyone who has high expecations for their apartment, or who thinks that they're going to get a $2000-quality apartment for $1000 a month, many of the reviews here are accurate. There's some bugs, there's a train, the management isn't ideally attentive, etc. etc.

But the management isn't that bad. And for that matter, nothing's that bad. It's a good low price apartment. My roommate and I just moved out after seven months. We went for somethign a little less expensive in a much better area (little five points vs. lenox mall). But while we were at the Heights we never had any serious problems. We never felt like we were in danger, we never felt like we were being overtly ripped off. Service requests rarely took more than a day or so. Moving in now would mean putting up with some construction for some time, but it looks the the construction is indeed making the place better (and perhaps more expensive, so if you plan to move in for a while, you may actually find yourself living in a really nice place for a low price, once the construction is finished.)

I made the mistake of signing a lease and THEN going to apartmentratings.com. Already having committed to the place, I was terrified that I had just put down a deposit on hell itself. But if you don't have very high expectations, (for instance, if you're a student like me, who thrives on a budget lifestyle) there's nothing about this apartment that's really that bad.
