DO NOT MOVE THERE!!

I was one of the first tenants to move into the empress when it was first built. I was so excited to live in downtown and experience city living. All, I can say my experience was both positive and negative.<br><br>The apartment used to be runnedā€¦Ā See More >

    Mold In Building

    This apartment has mold and management was informed but nothing was done. They just painted over it. <br><br>How many of us have been exposed to this mold and gotten sick from it, but were not aware of it. Our walk in wasā€¦Ā See More >

      Used to be great. Present management is terrible

      Possibly the only thing going for this place is location. It's really close to Chinatown and the library.<br><br>However, there are near-monthly inspections (with less than 48 hours notice) and my car has been broken into twice. The monthly inspections are really irritating as the inspectorsā€¦Ā See More >

        Just OKAY

        I lived in this building for a year. My biggest complaint is the office staff. The current manager has poor communication and is a bit ------. <br><br>Getting your packages if you work a 9 to 5 is near impossible.<br><br>I also had issues with my lease.ā€¦Ā See More >

          Not very happy with this place

          The apartment itself is not bad - small but nice, it has in unit washer/dryer and dishwasher. The problem is the neighborhood. It's so loud here it's unbelievable. There are always helicopters flying very low over the roof to land at theā€¦Ā See More >

            Loud and hot in summer.

            I have ear plugs too. Another car was stolen from the garage. The residence are nice but I think we are all feeling the strain.

              Going Down Hill Fast

              I live here and made the mistake of moving from a studio to the 6th floor. The elevator situation is terrable here. Only one elevator goes to the 6th floor. Moving in was a nightmare. <br><br>The noise is awful and isā€¦Ā See More >

                Do yourself a favor and don't bother

                Had same experience as reviews below, and cars get broken into a lot here, including in the building's own garage. Management& maintenance is poor, except when they are showing apartments and getting you to sign a lease. Run away.ā€¦Ā See More >

                  Surprise visit !(we said 48hours but we might come in way before)

                    See comment below, it's ACCURATE

                    See posting from 4/3 below, I agree 100%, had same experience here (minus the leaking fridge & toilet). If you work between 9am-5pm, it's a real chore to try to pick up a package. And if someone is parked in a garage stallā€¦Ā See More >

                      Too much noise !

                      I really liked this place at first but after a couple of months, I realised that it wasn't that great.<br>First of all the neighborhood is filled with homeless people asking for money 24/7, crak heads and there's always drama in the streets at nights (weā€¦Ā See More >

                        Not that great

                        I have lived here for about 1 1/2 - 2 years and at first liked it. However, I am no longer happy with the apartment or neighborhood. ALOT of construction is going on - on each side of the building. Thereā€¦Ā See More >

                          I've lived here for a couple of years and I really like it. It's not perfect but for the price I pay, I think it's a good deal. <br><br>I like having a washer and dryer in my apartment and I like the built inā€¦Ā See More >

                            Reasonable

                            I've lived here for about a year and a half. What I love about it is its proximity to downtown and the fact that you can walk across the street, down a small hill, and hop on any bus you want to get downtownā€¦Ā See More >

                              I have lived here for a bit and while it is a fine apartment building with new ammenities such as underground parking, w/d in unit, nice and updated kitchens, etc, it lacks any community feeling and you are not in a neighborhood setting. Noā€¦Ā See More >
