The new management team is very friendly and helpful and made me feel welcomed when I moved in. My apartment was clean and ready. This is my first apartment and they made it easy for me.

I wished somebody warned me what a disgusting, filthy place this was so I could run away. The management is full of lazy liars who are never in the office during hours. Good luck trying to reach them if you need help. The building has a million problems. They only have ONE working elevator that constantly breaks and is extremely slow. The stairways are full of trash and dog poop. If it rains the parking garage and basement, including the laundry room FLOOD. I have had to walk through inches deep... of dirty water to get to my car in the parking garage. ROACHES infested in the whole building, you will get them no matter what because they don’t treat the problem. you have to pay $75 a month for parking in the garage since there is no street parking and they will TOW your car if you park outside. The parking lot dumpster also overflows with piles of trash and it smells absolutely terrible which is probably the reason they have roaches. The whole building is falling apart and disgusting and old and smells bad. Just stay away!!!

I have been living at Monroe Park towers for 2 years now. I think the building itself is amazing and I probably would live here again. the only issues I have are mostly with maintenance/office. Make sure to always check to see if you're being charged correctly for rent and maintenance to always be sure your at the house.. sometimes maintenance don't do their job correctly. The building does have cockroaches depending on the floor you're at and how well you clean your apartment. I think... maintenance does a good job at getting rid of them because I haven't had an issue with roaches for a year now. Other than that, I think this is a good place to stay with roommates or by yourself ??

The leasing office is totally unresponsive to issues. They all act like the don’t even want to be there. Lots of times they aren’t. Maintience is too slow. One guy comes in to fix things, then the issue is not fixed. Gotta wait a week for the next person to come up and fix the issue. So sick of the neighbors being loud and the smell of weed constantly. Management does nothing when I call them. Elevator is always down, walking up and down dozens of flights is not fun at all.

This place is a roach infested mess. Management is useless and is always gone. Just take the reviews seriously
