Lafayette Park Apartments

Beautiful place. Living room is really small! Over all its do able. For a starter.

Looked at a studio. It was decent, but they charge an application fee, plus a $600 dollar broker fee, first month rent, month and a half security. Monthly rent was about $270 too high for the studio, imo.

Studio apartment. Pro: Good location, quiet. Interior is nice, most of apartment to my knowledge the bathrooms and kitchen are redone. (My kitchen is an older kitchen still though) Parking can be annoying limited spots close to your entrance, sometimes need to park behind building next to tracks or movie theatre, not a HUGE deal. the super is odd at times but will answer you right away and seems to want to help. See major negative below about him. Negative: No dishwasher in studio, you cannot control your heat and they call it a luxury apartment on their front sign, i complain about the heat not being on and the super tells me it is. I catch a cold every winter because of this. Apparently they can either blast the heat or keep it pseudo warm. Very annoying. Silver fish are in my apartment its gross, they are seasonal and not a huge issue but I hate them. They are harmless and I much prefer them over bed bugs and roaches! No keyless entry or ability to ring in people through front door. They will increase your rent every year I have been here 4 years now and this will be my last year not because of the issues listed above, but soley because they are running me out with the rent. My rents from start to now: $1120, $1155, $1190, $1230 The rental increases appear small, but if you add them up over time thats lots of money. They make very insignificant changes to warrant these increases. Made zero change to my apartment, and just make the outside look nice with flowers, re-cemented front of building, etc.
