It’s super clean! Maintenance responds and works super fast! Everything is near you! Literally anything you want it’s within a 15 mile radius. It’s a safe neighrbood too and free parking! Only thing I could complain about is the outdoor stairs....

Nice place to live! Neighborhood is really nice. Maintenance is great, they were always there shortly after we call. Also, we love the fireplace in the winter, and the pool in the summer!!

It’s nice here please don’t raise the rent though inflation is killing me :”) I will be renewing my lease because it is so nice here. The free parking is cool. And I love the pool and outdoor lounging area

We enjoy living here for the most part. However, the stairs are falling apart so badly they have to be a health and safety concern. Their literally crumbling as you step and the rest is protruding from the rails so badly that you should be required t...

I toured the community this afternoon and I fell in love. The community is beautiful. Olia Lebid the leasing manager was extremely helpful and provided answers to all my questions, she followed up as promised. This may be my new home!

I just move in yesterday I never been more stressed like that before he was tortured me for 3 hours it was bad experience to get in. overall I like the place I look for word to see more good things.

Kyrra

The smoking policy is poorly enforced-if you're allergic to cigarette smoke, it's not pleasant. I can't use my patio at all because of it. There's no designated area for kids, so they're often running around the amenities area. Despite there being a ...

I love living here, but there are things that could improve. There is a huge pot hole on the road that needs to be fixed it’s been there for a year…when it snowed the stairs weren’t treated I almost hurt myself.

Emma Phillips

Loved having a tour, both the management team made me feel so welcome and were so helpful in getting me all the information i needed about the comolex. Highly recommend you check this complex out.

The apartments are nice, but the windows really need to be replaced. Staff is fantastic, and any requests I've made have been promptly responded to.

Eryn N

I had a pleasant time living there with my fiance and newborn; however, the reviews were correct about taking pictures before you move out! Management will try and keep your security deposit, and in our case, try to get us to owe them money. When we ...

Love the amenities here, neighborhood is pretty safe. Everything is good so far, just had a little weird experience while moving in a month ago.

Brenden

The area is really nice and safe. The overall atmosphere feels very comfortable. The apartment itself is pretty nice but there are some outdated parts. The apartment is also not convenient for taller people.

Lived here for going on three years. During that time, the complex has changed ownership. It’s always been a nice place to live but it’s never been better.

Crystallynn

I love living here. Management is nice and accommodating. We have food trucks from time to time. The outdoor amenity space is so beautiful and relaxing.

Water isn't very clean, but a lot in the area. Can easily walk to most places if needed. Noise is pretty low and the employees are quick to act if something is needed.

Colleen

Need to fix path behind house. New gravel or something. Overall good location. Love the pond and can't wait for the pool to open up. Easy route to a bunch of roads

Erika

Overall a great experience, but the recent package room update isn’t the best. The organization isn’t clear and carriers don’t consistently use it. I’m not sure if my packages will come to my door, be in the room, or in the mailbox. Not the b...

Pablo

This Place is great and the amenities are second to none. Would definitely recommend living here, plus everything you need is less than five minutes away.

Mark

Amazing! The staff is amazing and kind! Move-in was smooth! I highly recommend this place even tho on Google they only have 3 stars it should definitely be higher!

The renovations to the gym make me excited to work out. The new clubhouse gives me a space to relax outside of my home and to top it off the constant food trucks break up the monotony of having to always cook. The overall community make me even more ...

Arielle

Friendly staff and clean community. Maintenance is quick and efficient. Great community for dogs as well (dog park, dog walk station! The new amenity spaces are great for relaxation or for mixing up work from home location.

Verified Resident

We love the new amenities! The gym has good machines and lots of weight equipment! Also, the pool is very nice, can’t wait for it to be opened.

Quiet and safe neighborhood, in the middle of a lot of stores and places to eat. Spacious and comfortable. Can’t wait for summer when I can utilize the outdoor amenities.

Nabit

Great place to live! Love the new fitness center and club house. Management is very responsive and helpful to everything. Food trucks and community events are pretty nice too

Faryaal

We love living here! The new amenity space is amazing! Staff and management are always reliable. Our only complaint about the area is the trash bin that is now in the middle of the road for some reason and home to more and more rats 😵‍💫!

Move-in has been great so far. Was given a short tour upon arrival. The staff of Halstead has been helpful! Will keep updated, as I live here.

Carla

It have been a really good year living at this place, I have made good friends and good neighborhood environment, to grow, to be , and the most important, a peaceful place

Adrienne

Great experience so far. We hope it continues for the duration of our time living here. I wish there was less of an eyesore with the trash area.

Frank

It’s been nice so far. Was very unfortunate to be mislead about what wi-if connection we could expect to receive but it is what it is. Insulation allows leaves something to be desired by the door and windows.

Jaquaya

Great experience! Maintenance is so tentative to the issues! Community activities are great and eventful! Leasing office is respectful and diligent.

Leslie

Just a few minutes from Fair Oaks Mall. Stores are walking distance. Very diverse community .Pet friendly . The community has lost its spark and quality has declined since the “rebrand”. Hopefully just temporarily.

Lauren

Overall, I've had a good experience here. However, I am still disappointed that the stairs have not been fixed yet throughout the community. This is dangerous for the people who live here and should have been prioritized over the ongoing renovations ...

Tyler

Feels like the apartment complex focuses a lot on the forward-facing areas of our community for new residents more so than fixing issues current residents face. The stairwells and railings continue to be in terrible shape which is also a hazard. That...

Taylor Gowen

Expensive, but nice. Would refer a friend here if they were to move. I wish there was more grass for my dog and I to play in. The trash can be smelly sometimes.

Overall a pretty awesome apartment and experience. Apartments are clean, and easy to decorate. Parking is an additional fee. Trash is $25 /month but worth it because they come pick it up from your door. Maintenance is very fast to respond to emergenc...

Nice area and good maintenance. Liked the new areas, but missing the gym open. The yoga classes and outdoor activities are welcoming and nice to meet more neighbors

Laura

We have enjoyed our time here at Halstead. The amenities, food trucks, and community spaces are truly next level! If we ever have an issue in our apartment, maintenance is quick to respond. Great experience overall!

Zoe

The apartment is great and quiet. The only issue so far has been the lack of maintenance on the parking deck with the thick layers of ice. Luckily I’m working from home, otherwise I’d have to chisel my way out.

Verified Resident

My family loves the community here. The pond and the bridge in the middle are one of our favorite spots. Maintenance and staff have always been responsive and attentive. Couldn’t be happier

Pratik

I have been living here for some months now. It is a good place to live in a safe neighborhood ! Has a swimming pool and gym. Friendly staff and clean area.

A beautiful place to live but, very extravagant to call home. Close enough to walk to shopping centers, grocery store and major government buildings too.

The renovations make me excited for what is to come in the new year. I cant wait to keep experiencing all tge things Halstead has to offer. They always make this community feel like home.

Excellent community. Love the food trucks that come here. Staff and maintenance are Great! Nice outdoor area with a pond and very quiet. Excellent schools in the area too

Lauren

I’m glad to see they are working on improving outdoor spaces like the pavement and sidewalks. That really needed to be done! Also the stairs inside the apt buildings could use a redo next so they stop rusting and falling apart every time it rains.

Nice community with plenty to do for the residents, new management seems to be doing a lot of good upgrades. Staff is very helpful and reasonable

Living here has been great! Love living here because it’s so center all to everything. Me and my husband started living not to long ago after we got married.

As we've told all of our friends, this place is much nicer than our previous apartment, and for less cost. We especially enjoy walking our dogs around the pond and the outdoor grilling area.

Georgia

So far I have found my experience to be very friendly and fresh. Everyone is so nice and welcoming and I am looking forward to making this place a nice home.

Kerry

Overall, living here has been pleasant. I would have given 5 stars but the exterior hall walls between the apartments are quite dirty as well as the floor. They just need to be power washed.

April

Nice and quiet. Friendly people. Great move-in experience with great details like welcome card and gifts, like soaps, paper towels. Water bottle. The apartment was so clean I thought no one lived there before.

Living here has been a great experience. The community is clean and friendly and I love how everything is very close and central. Definitely recommend for people to live here.

I feel like communication isn’t always the best from management we have had several occasions where they have scheduled loud work I.e. carpet replacement in the unit above us at 8 am or tree trimming at 8 am

I have been a Wheelhouse resident for three years, and Stacy and Crystal and their colleagues have been fantastic to work with! The property has always been quiet and clean and managed with professionalism.

Moving in was a breeze and the place is beautiful! My roommate and I could not be more excited to have our first apartment here at Wheelhouse

We really love out new home and the neighborhood. We think that the living room is not properly arranged, because we are very limited about TV installation. And we hoped the principal room could be a little bigger to have a desk inside.

Lanaea

I have had a great time here. The only down side is the stealing of tires in the parking lots and I have to keep resigning new leases which is making me suspicious. I am on my 3rd lease in 3 months and am being asked to sign a new one again.

So far it’s been great! I wish we had a schedule with the timing to expect the trash pickups, I work a bit later than others and think I miss it often. Otherwise we love the community, amenities, food trucks, and how quiet it is here

People reply quickly. Parking is annoying but not too bad I like that they have food trucks. I feel like the price is good it is strange that I pay directly from my bank account and still have to pay $.95

Lauren

Overall, it's been a great value for the money, and the staff are usually nice and helpful to us. Neighbors are also friendly. I have had my complaints here and there, mostly related to the building and maintenance. Things I've complained about in th...

Please open the pool this summer! Pretty please!!! Other than that we love the community and it’s ideally located for the fair oaks mall, a ton of restaurants, and our work.

Lyndsey

Great location, nice apartments, friendly staff. Most amenities are closed due to covid or have restricted hours yet we still pay for those amenities? Yikes. Parking is also difficult if it’s a weekend because we have a lot of guests that take up t...

I would say I’m pretty happy with the new management with only a few issues including the new array of processing fees for rent payments but other than that I have enjoyed my stay here.

Kara

Overall, the quality of the apartments for the price in our area is really great! Very few issues, and planning to resign our lease for the third year soon!

Katelyn

Been here over two years and am very happy. Great location, lovely apartments, and timely maintenance services when needed. Would recommend Wheelhouse to a friend!

Jayson

Its perfectly fine. Nice area, nice apartment, management has been fine so far, the walls are kinda thin however so if you don't like hearing your neighbors you might wanna look somewhere else.

So far, we have had an amazing experience within the Wheelhouse community. It’s a very quiet and luxurious area. We never run out of places to eat or things to do!

Overpriced for the size/quality. Appliances are either old or break regularly. Maintenance is always helpful & friendly when coming to fix. Safe & clean environment.

Amazing management. Great apartments and great community. Recently renovated apartments. Maintenance people respond very fast. Community feels safe and clean.

The bathrooms suck especially flushing the toilet. Someone hit my car and didn’t pay for it so now I have to pay to fix it. Do not make your residents pay for the trash service what if I wanted to save money and throw out my trash myself.

Great neighborhood for families. A lot of places within walkable distance. Helpful staff. The only downside is the cost of rent for the size of the apartments.

Honestly, have loved the first 2 weeks here. Very quiet, safe neighborhood and neighbors seem respectful of one another. Only ask would be that the gym be accessible outside of office hours.

I love the location of the Hermitage apartments and I,ve lived here for number of years, the apartment grounds are kept up very well. I feel the rental office needs to work on noise coming from other apartments. This noise can be distributing at time...

The complex has good days and bad days. The bad: Snow removal is non existant. When it snows the place is a disaster the garage fills up and the rest are out of luck. Someone answering the phone at the rental office is rare. A courteous rental rep i...

I find it hard to believe that so many people are "getting kicked to the backside" and The Hermitage are "scam artists". Most of the reviews are complaining about move out nightmares. Most about getting new carpeting, I bet most of those reviews are ...

Do not live here. Besides the entire place being infested with ants the management there will rip you off. My wife and I lived there for two and a half years without any major problems (except the ants). When we purchased a home and decided to move ...
