Love the Renovations

Love the new updates in the Belcrest apartments! The kitchens are super cute and the apartments look bright, spacious and clean. The lobby updates really highlight the historic features while adding a modern touch!

    AVOID At All Costs!

    The current management company, Modern City, are either grossly incompetent, callously indifferent to residents, or - likely - both. They lie, they don't get their stories or communication straight, they ignore maintenance requests, they play fast and loose with bogus non-rent fees and charges, andā€¦Ā See More >

      This apartment complex is full of mold. There were broken windows and malfunctioning elevators. Many packages were stolen with nothing done as far as security to prevent it. The pool was often unusable. ------ is horrible to deal with. We caught her in many liesā€¦Ā See More >

                The people are nice and the management is cool but the owners of the building are the worst people I've ever met. I've experienced as well as many, many others, the owners not giving back security deposit and screwing you over for over 600 dollarsā€¦Ā See More >

                    If I could give this establishment 0 stars, I would. My apartment itself was fine, after insisting that they replace the carpet (which had gum stuck to it when I moved in). The management is absolutely terrible - I cannot stress that enough.ā€¦Ā See More >
