Do not rent here
Do not rent at the Shipyards or any Applied Co property. We are in the process of having to file a small claims summon to get our security deposit back (which is already late) and for unfair/unjustified moving out expenses (DM for details). Management is unresponsive and will only respond if they are threatened that you will talk to city/state officials or the landlords. With rents increases every year, the Shipyards is no long a good value as there are many luxury apartment buildings on the same block and area. The Sovereign (the newest building) was horribly constructed (windows don't open, walls are bowed and wavy) and poorly maintained. There were always broken elevators and alarms going off; sometimes going on for days. Broken appliances are only replaced with less broken ones, if replaced at all. At no time during the years of being a resident there did I have a good working AC unit. There is zero building security. Exterior doors are often broken, left unlocked, or just left wide open allowing anyone to come in. And there were many instances of people just wandering around (especially weekend nights) the hallways, mostly looking for bathrooms. Plus some instances of people actually relieving themselves in the hallways. The gym is a great size and equipment is great, through there are personal trainers (sometimes multiple trainers at the same time) there during busy hours that take up a lot of space and equipment. The head trainer will make inappropriate and borderline harassing comments to women to try and shame them into being clients. This was brought up to management, but they were unresponsive. The pool is nice, but is absolutely disgusting within the first few weeks of the season, and is only cleaned once a season. The only positive about living in the Sovereign is that most of the front desk are very friendly and will get to know your name and give your dog treats.Share This Review
