2008-09-18T12:40:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in this place for 4 years since 2004. I will say the good things first and then move to the bad things. Very nice and safe area. The building is well maintained.

2007-07-25T12:07:15-06:00

From 192837465: I love the building, beautiful hardwood floors, dishwasher etc. I was sooo excited to move here. But from day 1, this place has disappointed me over and over. It took until the last minute for them to get the lease ready. When I moved in, the freight elevator was broken- ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-06-21T21:37:03-06:00

From asiullec25: I fell in love with the ELMS, wooden floors, vintage character of the place, general cosyness of the building, price-all included,dogs!Very nice maintenance team. As I continued living there I realized the A/C unit was falling apart and basicly uneffective for one person, not to mention two.When I asked to ... [click to read full apartment review]

18 East Elm: Bachelor Pad (Recommending!)

2006-05-25T15:41:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for one year and can honestly say, you get what you pay for. For the location (1 block from the beach, right next to great bars and resturaunts and in the Gold Coast, you can't beat that). I HIGHLY recommend 18 E. for young, single men, as ...

18 East Elm: Good point about drama queens... (Recommending!)

2006-02-15T18:22:08-06:00

From lyra06: This is the best management company owned building I have lived in so far in this city. There is a downside to these larger companies...there can be a bit more red tape to get something done, and service is a bit less personal...but BJB has been great. There is an ...

From -Anonymous-: Well, I don't think it allows me enough space to write all of the things I have had wrong with my apartment during the time I've been here. We were the first to move into this "newly redone" apartment and that's where it all started. First, the closets were built ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for several months now and I really like it. All my utilities are included and the staff has always been great.

18 East Elm: I would NOT move here! (Not Recommending)

2004-09-27T11:45:59-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is infested with cock roaches. In the winter you freeze because they barely give you any heat. In the summer, the air conditioners are horrible, so you die of heat. The management is very cheap, so they do everything half assed. This place is disgusting and I cannot ... [click to read full apartment review]

18 East Elm: Do NOT live here! (Not Recommending)

2004-06-22T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived in this building since they converted it from a hotel, so I had to live with all of the water problems (shut-offs) and construction and mess. Now I pay super-cheap, so I guess it was okay in the beginning - let me tell you, it's SO not worth ... [click to read full apartment review]
