Beacon Apartments: new homeowner in 2930 (Recommending!)

2008-05-27T13:15:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Most of the opinions listed on this site seem a bit outdated. I can imagine the frustration buying a unit in this building last year when the original rehabs were beginning to take place. That said, it seems that now, the lobby is new, there is a gym facility, and ... [click to read full apartment review]

Beacon Apartments: HAHA, I tried to warn you people! (Not Recommending)

2007-10-05T09:04:39-06:00

From kassblows@yahoo.com: I am a former resident who tried for over a year to inform the city this new management team and owner was cutting corners when it came to the rehab. Now, not even Kass Management and Kroupa can try and wiggle around the fact that this building has finally been ... [click to read full apartment review]

Beacon Apartments: (Asbestos)and total building evacuation (Not Recommending)

2007-10-09T19:33:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Why live in the Beacon when you could live in a safer place like Iraq. If you like wearing a hard hat and dust mask every day than move on in. New management's high quality(ha) rehab work blew up in their faces as the building had to be evacuated for ... [click to read full apartment review]

Beacon Apartments: This place is a joke! (Not Recommending)

2007-05-24T12:41:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with all the recent posts from actual residents (not the one line comments from management) about what a nightmare this place has turned into. We have now been without a freight elevator for over two weeks. This elevator was shut down by city inspectors for safety violations! Obviously ... [click to read full apartment review]

Beacon Apartments: Conversion haven, is better than non-conversion haven, at least the place that I purchased is for real!!!! (Recommending!)

2007-04-25T07:50:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Even though this posting site is for rental seekers, it's going to be normal for the remainder of the residents to post their opinions and vent out their frustrations. Even though I hate to say it, but, this is a very sturdy, cement based building. If they didn't have to ... [click to read full apartment review]

Beacon Apartments: Terrible Management (Not Recommending)

2007-04-16T09:24:45-06:00

From chiboy: First I would like to say that all the negative posts are true. All these positive posts have no substance to why this building is good ( just great to live in? whyyy??). Oh please, I have been treated better by my management company in a college apartment. I currently ... [click to read full apartment review]

Beacon Apartments: ROME?????? (Not Recommending)

2007-03-06T11:18:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The idea of comparing Rome being built in one day to this condo conversion is laughable! I will say this to anybody thinking of buying a condo, talk to a resident who lives in the building! Ask them what they think of the new mgmt company and how they deal ...

2007-02-06T14:07:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have debated whether or not to post for a while, but I felt like I needed to add how terrible this building has become. It is in the process of turning condo, so this is a warning to those who are considering buying.

The new management could care less about ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-07-05T15:16:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This seems like a decent place at first, but beware that they take every last cent of your security deposit no matter how well you've maintained the aparment.

2006-05-19T01:08:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Please don't keep your car in the parking lot unless you want it banged! You are better off parking on the street.

2006-03-21T13:18:34-06:00

lots of washers/dryers
good maintenance people (things get fixed quickly)
convenient, inexpensive dry cleaners
excellent view on ... [click to read full apartment review]
