Associated Realty: (Not Recommending)

2009-08-05T16:28:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: What they do to their tenants should be a crime. Their staff is rude and condescending and very unhelpful. They lost my rent checks on multiple occasions and gave away my parking spot because they lost my lease renewal contract. While the onsite maintenance person was extremely kind and helpful, ...

2009-07-21T07:37:43-06:00

From JohnKas: I am active duty military and rented a home through ARPM. I paid rent on time. I left the house in better condition than I found it.

Associated Realty: good location, crap management (Not Recommending)

2009-07-06T19:56:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I completely agree with some of the other reviews here. I too, lived in Rapid Transit and had an awful experience.

2009-05-13T17:12:40-06:00

Associated Realty: completely takes advantage of students, never rent from these criminals (Not Recommending)

2008-11-18T12:35:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Our experience with ARPM so far has been an absolute nightmare. When we moved into our first apartment last year we were told it was guaranteed to be clean.

But ... [click to read full apartment review]

Associated Realty: Just don't rent from these people (Not Recommending)

2008-01-31T23:00:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: ARPM is just plain terrible. They rude to tenants, practice unethical accounting and billing and have the worst maintenance service I have ever seen. When I moved in, my room was supposed to have a lamp in it, but it didn't so I had to buy my own. I informed ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-07-20T10:14:31-06:00

From rubysoho: I have been living in Crestmont Apts. for the last 3 years. When my roomate and I first moved in, it was owned by a different realty company. Associated Realty took over a year later.

Associated Realty: Ambassador Building and parking at Beaver Terrace (Recommending!)

2007-07-12T14:50:16-06:00

From lunaflower: I lived on the fourth floor of Ambassador Building for two years, and it was ok. The location is good because it is close to campus. Associated Realty gave us nice furniture and electricity bills were consistent. The elevator is small and slow, and often it smells bad because someone ... [click to read full apartment review]

Associated Realty: Bad news - flush your money instead (Not Recommending)

2007-03-17T18:26:07-06:00

From Ihateassociated: I lived in one of their small unnamed complexes for two years. This is the property at 1000 S. Allen St. The only reason I stayed the second year is because I hate moving.

Associated Realty: Starbucks - Downtown Living - A fair review (Recommending!)

2006-10-14T11:51:50-06:00

From idiocyinc: Apartment is really close to campus as you may know. My apartment smells like coffee sometimes which is nice. If you have a choice of which apartment, be choosy to which one because it will determine which window view you'll have.

The place is noisy when the Sports Bar next door ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-11-27T23:14:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I live in one of the duplex buildings that line S. Atherton between Pizza Hut and Waupelani.

2004-08-27T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in O'Brien Place for one year and I wish we had a chance to live there longer.

2004-08-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The AR comments written on 1/31 are hilarious.

2004-01-31T00:00:00-06:00

From KindOfBlue: My experience renting from Associated Realty was relatively good.
