Ardmore Winthrop Properties Review

BEST. APARTMENT MANAGEMENT. EVER !!!!

Its officially six months since I have moved into a Ardmore Winthrop apartment. I found them via Yelp and its great review. Once I viewed a unit, I was sold, mostly because I could tell that the area was safe and the building is well kept.

Six months later, I can tell you it's the best decision I was ever led to make. The management runs the apartment I live in with true honestly, transparently and commitment to community. Management is always communication with residents on what they are going to do (with timely notice), and they want to do, and when via signage around the building or emails. I feel comfortable calling them about anything and everything, because I have witness timely responses. I remember when I viewed the place with Andy and asked him about bedbugs, he was so honest in his response about the research I had done, the fact it did occur once (at most 1 year ago) and  how they as management were dealing with it. I was so impressed that he did not try to hide this issue that many apartments were dealing with. By the way, I have never seen a bedbug or any other insect especially fruit flies, which were my fault. They spray monthly like clockwork.

Management appear to know who I am every time I interact with them. In addition, my hubby who lives in Indy is around about twice a month and they also make him feel like a valued resident. I have received a birthday and Christmas card, both with stamps even thought they could have placed this in my mailbox or under my door. They are also willing and open to receive feedback about the unit. Questions posed to them are always answered. Staff is friendly and most of them live in buildings owned by Ardmore Winthrop. My favorite person on staff is Mike, who is an angel. He had helped me bring in my bed when I trying to do so by myself. He has jumped my car when I was all alone getting ready to go to work. And when something needs to be fixed in my unit, I can count on him to have produce a solution that is quality, lasting, and timely. Rosa  and Mike also keeps the place very clean. Never have I seen any inside community spaces unkempt, nor is the outside not maintained. When I see both Mike, Rosa, or other maintenance persons, they are working for the building...not talking or smoking the day away, but working. I thank them so much for that.

Everyone that comes visits me loves my space for the money. All utilities are included in my unit, which is a plus. Rent is reasonable, if not under the average for the space, locations, and A+ service from management.

I have lived in many apartments for rent before and this is the best management yet! I really enjoy living in Ardmore Winthrop properties and would have it no other way in Chicago.

Landmark Real Estate Review

My roommate and I had been searching for apartments in Greenwich Village and the West Village for about 4 days and to be honest we had come to the realization that we probably wouldn't be able to find anything in our price range in those neighborhoods. We were basically going from shoe box to shoe box with a lot of horrible brokers in the mix..

Then we came across Neely at Landmark Realty. Right off the bat, she showed us 3 wonderful apartments and we kind of formed a girl crush in the mean time. She was super honest and not at all pushy which is really refreshing when it comes to brokers/apartment hunting. We have been in our apartment for a year now and it's been the best living experience I have had in NYC. So as you can tell, I would highly recommend Neely as well as Landmark!

Liam's rentals Review

Found one of Liam's rentals through craigslist, he was very accommodating to my schedule as I was coming from out of town to view apartments. He ended up showing me about 5 different apartments until I found the one, at no time did I feel rushed as many NYC brokers tend to make you feel, he even met with me 2 more times to view the apartment. He continued to work with me and keep me up to date on renovations being done on my apartment and even helped us to get moved in earlier than planned. Liam is by far the best broker I have dealt with, I would recommend him to anyone!

LaMatto Properties Review

LaMatto Properties saved us! My boyfriend and I spent a few weeks trying to find a place to live in the area using craigslist- looking for no broker's fee apartments. Of course we didn't find anything that was right for us, and by the time we turned to LaMatto we were afraid all the apartments for the beginning of the month were going to be taken, since it was just a week away!

Misha walked with us to several different apartments, and helped us figure out what we were really looking for. He showed us a few really great options within our price range, and was totally willing to go back with us over and over again when we were indecisive. He was also really great about us calling/texting him last minute and asking if we could meet up and 'look at that one apartment just one more time'! In the end they helped us find a place in a great location, near the subway, for a price that we were really excited about.

Sutter House Review

My husband and I have lived at Sutter House almost one year. It is our first place together, and we've loved how clean and safe it is. Nothing goes by unnoticed by the apartment manager, which is a truly wonderful thing. Laundry in the building is a nice luxury. The elevator is great, especially when we first moved in, as it is not your typical San Francisco 100-year-old-building kind of elevator, but a  nice large-sized modern elevator that could fit our bookshelves, bed, etc. Once again, the upkeep by the apartment manager is great, and response time to any problems has been immediate! The neighborhood is also nice, as it is right at the corner edge of both Nob Hill and Russian Hill. Just a block or two walk and you are surrounded by many cute shops and cafes.  We are quite close to the Academy of Art as well. Prices are good for the area (being so centrally located) and it was the biggest kitchen we could find in a studio in this area! We can actually fit a small dining table and three chairs in our kitchen. When we were apartment hunting last  year we couldn't believe how many studios in the Nob Hill area had ridiculously small kitchens or efficiency kitchens. Sutter House Apartments are nice, clean, and have been a great first home for us!

Argenta Apartments Review

We lived in a shoebox over at Fox Plaza (across the street) for 9 months upon moving to San Francisco and anxiously awaited the opening of Argenta. I saw the sign go up on the door and called that very day. We had our pick of apartments and moved in a month later. I've been in real estate and property management for most of my career, and I can say that I've never encountered more professional and accommodating staff, or a more beautiful building and apartment. The units are beautifully appointed, with awesome kitchens and views, the on-site gym can't be beat...nor can the location Right on Market steps from Muni and a few blocks from Bart!  Yes, it's expensive. But, you get what you pay for. We've now moved back to Phoenix, and we'd love to be able to just pick up the building and move it back with us!  We're going to miss Argenta.
