Metropolis

"Awful experience! If you’re thinking about renting an apartment here, make yourself a favor and don’t! The building smells, the elevators are always dirty. It’s not safe and packages are always stolen, even the couch in the lobby was stolen. Once a homeless was sleeping inside the building. The management changed 3x in less than 6 months. Nobody knows what happens here nor get anything done. With this mess about the management, I’m being obligated to stay longer than I had to, because they couldn’t handle the leasing renewals during all the changes. Awful place, even worse management!"

"Absolute Nightmare: Avoid Metropolis Building Under Laramar Management! Where do I even begin with the disaster that is the Metropolis building managed by Laramar? Let's start with the abysmal management, or should I say mismanagement, that has plagued this place. The transition from Laramar to Cornerstone was an absolute mess, leaving residents feeling unsafe and insecure. First off, security is a joke here. Packages go missing regularly, and the elevators are a canvas for explicit graffiti, making them downright disgusting. The stench that permeates the building is nauseating, and the lockers on the main door might as well be decorative since they offer zero security for families residing here. Speaking of security, the number of break-ins I've witnessed during my brief one-year stint here is appalling. It's like living in a crime hotspot rather than a residential building. And don't get me started on the laundry room – it's a breeding ground for filth, with machines that barely function, if at all. As if the appalling living conditions weren't enough, the rent they demand for this cesspool of incompetence is downright ludicrous. And good luck getting anything fixed in a timely manner. Maintenance requests seem to disappear into a black hole, never to be heard from again. Oh, and let's not forget the revolving door of management. It's like playing a game of musical chairs, except instead of music, it's the sound of residents' complaints falling on deaf ears. And don't even think about relying on security cameras for peace of mind – they're about as rare as a unicorn around here. But the cherry on top of this dumpster fire? The audacity to try and charge me for leaving when my lease is up. Despite informing the previous management of my intentions, the new (or should I say, old) Laramar management conveniently blames me for their own incompetence. Save yourself the headache and heartache – steer clear of the Metropolis building managed by Laramar. It's a living nightmare that no one should have to endure. And with reports of car thefts, bug infestations, and neglected common areas, it's a disaster waiting to happen."

"Lived here for 3 years and since Cornerstone took over the building it went from bad to worse. Car thefts, bugs, section 8 mess. It turned into the ghetto literally overnight. Check with District 2 police they'll verify how many calls to the building in the past 6 months. Very Sad!"

"Lived here for 5 years and now we have no on site staff, no cameras anywhere for protection, our call box has been offline for months, and the worst part is that management controls the AC/Heat. We are all burning up and they don’t care. They have had heat on us all month while it’s hot outside. Avoid Cornerstone at all cost it’s a hell here."

"The staff was the best part about the entire experience. Chery and Aumbree both are so respectful and respond to residents in a timely manner. The apartment itself is clean and well kept. With new appliances and beautiful hard wood flooring. The only reason I might had put 4 starts is because some of the community washers and dryers are not in the best condition, but that’s how it usually is."
