The Halston

I have lived here for almost two years now. Move in was stress-free, the office was responsive and let us see the unit before we signed (I insisted upon it) even though it was inconvenient for them. I love the floor plan (2 bed 2 bath), it is small but very homey. Lots of windows so there's lots of light during the day, which I enjoy. Storage in the kitchen is lacking, there's no pantry and the washer and dryer are in the kitchen too. We had to buy a utility shelf for the dining room to store our small appliances and food that doesn't fit in the cabinet we designated to be our makeshift pantry. The unit is very dusty, even though I keep it clean. I assume that's related to the HVAC system being very old (buildings were built in the 70s or 80s. Dust on the ceiling fans and clinging to the walls less than a week after I dust and clean. There is also mold growing in the windows because it is so humid in the apartment. When it's cold out, condensation clings to the windows, fills up the windowsill, and drips from the ceiling in places. When we moved in, we had a German roach infestation. Pest control came out before we moved in and one more time after we moved in, and we bought our own roach poison and traps, and we haven't had an issue since, thankfully. Those first few weeks were hell though. Maintenance can be slow, and things break randomly, like the dishwasher just ceasing to work every few months, or a random outlet just deciding not to work anymore out of the blue. Our AC does not work during the summer, it just can't keep up and our apartment easily reaches 80 degrees+ during hot months even though the AC is running. I asked maintenance to check on the AC and they said it was perfectly normal for it to be 80+ degrees in the apartment during summer and they did nothing to fix it or even try to remedy the situation. A friend of mine has an apartment here in another building and their AC works fine, so it's just luck of the draw, I guess. During July 2024 during a big heat wave (110+ outside) our AC completely stopped working. It was 95+ degrees in our apartment with our pets inside. It took DAYS to get maintenance to even check on it, and although they said they would bring us a window unit to get it fixed, it never happened (even though I asked them about it multiple times). One maintenance man came, looked at it, and said he would have to order a part and it would be awhile before it was fixed (still didn't bring a window unit). Thankfully another maintenance man came to take a look and the problem was actually very easy for him to fix and we had the AC working again that day. Towing is very strict and they sometimes tow residents on accident. Thankfully the one time my car was towed mistakenly, the office manager called the towing company and they waived the towing fee, but the mistake caused me to miss work. The blinds are paper thin and break easily so if you have cats, dogs, or children, good luck keeping them intact before you move out. I have never necessarily felt unsafe living here, although sometimes there are police cars driving through the parking lots and news about shootings here. The neighbors in my building at least are quiet, but I am on the second floor and I have no idea if first story units can hear the footsteps above them. Utilities are very expensive ($200+ a month year round), and I think that may be related to our AC struggling to work. It has reached the point where the cost ($1100 a month for my apartment) is not worth it when I can find a similarly priced apartment with the same amenities for the same price. I plan on updating this review after I move out to document the move out process.

Just wanted to come on here and give Maegan a shout out! She was very helpful and fast at getting my car back after it was towed. I really appreciate everything she did tonight! And made the situation 10 times less stressful :)

Every complex has their issues, but any time I’ve spoken with management, especially Maegan Buss, the problems were solved in a timely manner. Communication has been effortless, and my unit has been without issue for nearly 3 years now! Highly recommend, can’t beat the price or the location (this is not a paid ad cstat is just awful in pricing)

From the very first tour to move in day, my experience at this community has been amazing. The property manager was incredibly welcoming, professional, and responsive, which made the entire application and approval process smooth and stress free. Move in was organized and seamless, and any questions I had were answered quickly. It’s clear the team genuinely cares about residents and takes pride in the property. I’m so happy with my decision to move here and would highly recommend this community to anyone looking for a great place to call home. As someone who moved due to noisy neighbors, I will say The Halston is very quiet! So glad to live in a community that genuinely feels like home!

Maegan is truly a standout leasing agent and a perfect reflection of how amazing this apartment community is. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, professional, and well maintained, and Maegan made the experience even better. She is knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely invested in helping people find the right place to call home. The apartment complex itself is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with great amenities and a strong sense of community. The staff clearly takes pride in the property, and that shows in every detail. Maegan went above and beyond to explain everything, answer questions, and make the leasing process seamless and stress free. If you’re considering this community, you won’t be disappointed. Between the quality of the property and Maegan’s exceptional service, this is truly a place you can feel confident choosing as your home.
