Clarendon: Caveat Emptor (Not Recommending)

2008-05-05T08:56:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would strongly encourage anyone who is considering renting or buying in this building to think again. I have lived in this building since late 2007 and speak first-hand.The management has no clue what customer service is all about and a very 'us against them' mentality towards renters. For example, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Not worth the money (Not Recommending)

2007-10-22T14:09:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The other reviews are pretty accurate - excellent location, but problems with building management, water heaters, and expense make this place undesirable overall. Maintenance/Quality: My water heater turns on and off all night long, which is fairly annoying. Maintenance is very nice, but can't do anything about it. Problems with ...

Clarendon: Clarendon't! (Not Recommending)

2007-05-08T14:05:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: First one needs to be made of money. As mentioned in previous posts, the rent increase and related fees like parking and internet are a ridiculous amount of increase each year.

Second the garage doors are perpetually broken so when they DO work they only give the illusion of security. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Nope! (Not Recommending)

2007-04-14T07:13:41-06:00

From bkgeppert: I was one of the first people to ever live in this building and moved out within 5 months... I recently visted a friend there and NOTHING has changed. I still hear the same stall-tactics from the management and I still see the same flippers trying to post postive comments ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Great Place to Live! (Recommending!)

2007-03-29T07:01:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been living at The Clarendon for 1 year and couldn't be any happier. Sure, The Clarendon has a few issues but the good points far outweigh the bad ones.

Perhaps the best thing The Clarendon has going for it is the location. It is truly sitting in the most convenient ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Beware water heater. (Recommending!)

2007-03-10T18:39:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have been living here for one year.
-Great location
-Reception staff helpful
-Nice Apartments
HOWEVER.... When viewing an apartment take special note of the location of the "utility cupboard", which contains the water heater. It turns on for periods of 5 minutes, and like another review mentioned, sounds like a freight train.
We have ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: (Not Recommending)

2007-02-14T12:07:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for two years. Last year my rent increase was 17%. This year it's 12%. Nice to place to live if you're made of money. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: What a waste! (Not Recommending)

2007-01-03T12:24:45-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is way overpriced for all the loud construction and the deposits that they keep are outrageous!Plus the parking spots are all so small that your car constantly gets dinged by people trying to get in and out of their cars ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Don't do it! (Not Recommending)

2006-10-04T23:34:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Like the previous poster I feel the need to give my opinion on my former apartment building. From the day I moved in the management treated me as if I had never lived in an apartment building or on my own from Mom and Dad. They took their sweet time ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Convenient, but... (Not Recommending)

2006-08-24T16:45:38-06:00

From faireview: After living here a year, I feel obligated to give my $.02.
The location is tough to beat. Less than two minutes to the metro, dozens of restaurants, nice neighborhood.
The front desk people have always been great. Gabriel and Anne are both friendly, helpful, and professional.
The maintenance personnel are courteous, responsive, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Some things they neglect to mention... (Not Recommending)

2006-08-06T13:14:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Where to begin...

Construction 101...
First, be very aware, that if you happen to be drawn into living on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the highrise side, you have no way to get to your floor when the elevator is locked out for service. The only way to get to these ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: not worth the money (Not Recommending)

2006-06-21T23:24:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved in January and the staff was helpful with the move, and maintenance is so-so. The old lady at the front desk is quirky, but helpful, but the other front desk folks simply don't speak English. A simple request can take hours to resolve. The 100 steps to the ...

Clarendon: Finally gave in to write a review... (Not Recommending)

2006-03-16T12:20:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Well where to begin...

I looked at this building soon after it opened with a couple prospective friends... a few months later found someone on craigs list to live in and live in the townhouse style apartments. Location is great, love it, since we are young and like to go out.

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

Clarendon: We hate moving, but probably will when lease is up. (Not Recommending)

2006-03-09T17:43:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We recently married and moved into the Clarendon to be close to the metro and to have a bit of "city life". Well, those two things hold true! Everything else, though... not so much.

We have a lovely, spacious 1 br apt in the high-rise--we love it. However, there are issues ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Poor Office Staff (Not Recommending)

2006-02-22T18:50:10-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Nice location and OK apartments, but the management is HORRIBLE. No one knows what they are doing, there is high turnover, and there is no customer service at all.

In the year that I have lived here, they have lost two packages and my roommate's bicycle was stolen. When I asked ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Save yourself trouble & money (Not Recommending)

2006-02-14T09:44:14-06:00

From toomuchlikeadorm: If you're looking for a dorm, this building will do. If you're looking for a home, find another place. The apartments are nice, but nothing special. Definitely not energy efficient (on cold mornings, the hot water runs out in 10 minutes; gas bills are unusually high). The building is not ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Not bad (Recommending!)

2005-12-13T16:07:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived there for a year (a little over a year since they make you sign a longer lease to get the free rent). It was okay. The apartments were REALLY nice. everything was new, never been lived in, so that was nice. The front desk staff was great, especially ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Great Place (Recommending!)

Clarendon: Great location - terrible management (Not Recommending)

2005-10-04T14:01:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If location is the only thing that matters, this is the place for you. But from extremely poor management, awkward common spaces, a claustrophobic fitness center (with one working TV viewable from very few angles) to a constantly unstaffed front desk, this place has it all. But due to the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Clarendon: Staff is not helpful and problems will arise (Not Recommending)

2005-09-19T16:16:43-06:00

From Gladyearisover: I have had great difficulty dealing with the staff at the Clarendon. They are not responsive with returning calls and we have had work orders in for months that have not been answered. Their front desk called me back the other day to ask why she had my name on ...
