2601 Apartments: Management woes: total lack of security (Not Recommending)

2006-05-13T17:59:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here years ago and left due to safety issues. Maintenance had a habit of entering the apt. (without knocking, in the day time)for no reason (no work orders had been placed) and then the management office denied having sent anyone to my apt. I also witnessed maintenance entering ...

2601 Apartments: It's the people (Not Recommending)

2006-05-02T08:33:55-06:00

From QQQQ1: I think a lot of the frustrations that people have with living in the building can be traced to inconsiderate "behaviors" from our fellow residents.

For example, who hasn't spend time circling the building and surrounding neighborhood looking for a parking spot. However, time and again, I have seen people park ... [click to read full apartment review]

2601 Apartments: management woes (Recommending!)

2006-04-21T21:09:15-06:00

From angryelf: If you do not mind living by rather strict (and sometimes arbitrary) rules, similar to a co-op, then we would recommend this building. The location is excellent; the redone lobby, while rather brash (tacky?) by some standards, is at least kept very clean, and the staff at the front desk ... [click to read full apartment review]

2601 Apartments: Eh... (Recommending!)

2005-09-09T10:52:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have to disagree on the lobby. It wasn't great to begin with, but some of the stuff now is fairly tacky. The wall with all the little gold beads? Did we really need a waterfall? The building has its pros, definitely, like the free shuttle, the gym, the washer ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-09-01T22:10:01-06:00

2004-09-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Location is great ifyou are ok not being close to center city.
BUT apartments are not well looked after - several layers of paint is quite normal & therefore often peels. Doors often don't lock or close properly. No thermostats on heaters so can't get decent temperature at night time.

2004-06-16T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The new owners strike me as greasy little weasels who are keeping the current tenants in the dark about the changeover to condos.

2601 Apartments: AWFUL BUILDING & MANAGEMENT (Not Recommending)

2003-08-13T00:00:00-06:00

From TomO18: Well, the 2601 building is the pits.
I wouldn´t suggest living here unless you want to throw your money out the window. (literally) The insulation is awful and during the winter and summer months, utility bills are HUGE.

2002-06-24T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Would you like a little history? Building was filled w/elderly residents who had been good tenants there for 30-50 yrs.
