Metropolitan: Decent.. but definitely not a "luxury" apartment (Not Recommending)

2008-10-26T12:33:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been living here almost a year. Overall, it's okay. Yes, the location is good, but food shopping can be a pain (unless you only shop at Reading Terminal Market). Repairs are made quickly. My fridge died and I reported it before I went to work. By the time I ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metropolitan: Great location (Recommending!)

2008-07-26T23:18:42-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Unlike many of the listed reviews, I find the Met to be a great building. Repairs are made promptly...within minutes of requests. The front desk staff is friendly and knows people by name. The hallways are lacking AC, but easy to understand since this place was built in the 1920's. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Metropolitan: ripoff (Not Recommending)

2007-08-06T09:32:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: small space for a lot of money. I guess you should expect that living down town. Fern, one of the managers, is pretty rude, but overall the door people are really nice.The stove catches fire easily. There is virtually no parking, which makes unloading groceries a nightmare. And there are ... [click to read full apartment review]

From WilmaDeering: I rented at the Metropolitan from February 2007 until I switched jobs and had to move out in July 2007. I am very impressed with the staff.

Metropolitan: Avoid it. (Not Recommending)

2007-04-14T18:01:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have been living there for almost 3 years now. The first year, everything was pretty good. Well, sometimes during the summer we found some roaches in the kitchen and the bathroom, but the building is old, so it's perhaps the reason. During the winter, we see that our electricity ...
