The Vue Apartments (formerly Ione Plaza): A Hangout (Not Recommending)

2008-07-27T07:52:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been here a few years now and have seen the renovations in progress - and overall, they are very nice. However, this place is a hangout for those who frequent Paccinis until the early morning hours. As tenants we are issued key cards for 'secure' access to this building ...

2008-07-13T21:27:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The front office staff is rude, I avoid going in there unless necessary. This building is SO NOISY.

2008-06-01T16:55:34-06:00

2008-03-03T10:38:16-06:00

From yesidorent: There is a disconnect. The Vue management seems to think that they are better than their tenants. I think that they might be appreciated in a different building.

From -Anonymous-: Well, the exterior new painting looks very nice and certainly takes some years off of the look of this building.
