The Deco

"I have lived in The Deco for about 2.5 years. Overall I found it a wonderful place to live and have no complaints. My apartment gets a lot of light, has modern amenities, and overlooks the pool. I have not had any issues with noisy neighbors, and in fact the neighbors I have met are lovely. The management replies promptly to maintenance and other requests and clearly communicates cleaning. Two perks are the valet trash service which comes the night before every weekday to pick your trash up from your apartment door, and the pool, which is never too crowded. I love Clintonville as a neighborhood (very green and friendly) and there are many restaurants and services nearby, including a vet, waffle/coffee food truck, several supermarkets, and more. I would (and have) recommend this place to anyone moving to the area."

"First let me say this the apartments are clean. Residents are quiet. Amenities are poorly lacking and not maintained. The rent doesn’t match other properties especially with the lack of service and amenities you get. This place is entirely mismanaged. They share a maintenance person with the tennis club behind them and this creates a lot of excuses as to why they can’t get things done in a timely manner. I was sold on three amenities. The pool, gas grill and the gas fire pit. It was only after I moved in the fire pit hadn’t been operational in over a year. The gas grill extra propane has been out on multiple occasions. When we had a huge windstorm a bunch of dead branches and even a tree fell on the south side of the lot. Luckily no one was hurt. I notified them there were a lot more dead branches that needed removed or this would happen again. My request was ignored and it happened two other times. Each time they left the dead branches in the parking lot for weeks which I complained about. The last time the branches had been there for almost two weeks and I submitted a work request to have them removed. It was at this time I received a call from Kristen the property manager that began with I see you complain a lot. When I explained that someone could get hurt or a car damaged due to the dead trees that keep falling her response was well no one’s been hurt yet. I responded by asking her is that how you address safety concerns by waiting until someone gets hurt? Then I asked her what else I had complained about and she said is submitted requests to have the dog waste containers emptied on two different occasions. I explained to her I wouldn’t have to complain if their staff did their job. These containers were overflowing and dog wastes was being left on the ground for days. Meanwhile the north cans were always emptied. Management blames everyone else and says owners don’t want to put any more money into dealing with issues that involve safety. When I checked out I asked if they wanted to review it with me before I left and was told no need because I had moved once before to a larger apt and it was fine. Well two months later and after they sent my security deposit to the wrong address twice I finally find out that I was charged a cleaning bill despite leaving the apartment clean and being told they didn’t check it. I should have insisted they walk through instead of taking them for their word. One last thing is the noise coming from outside the apartments is extremely loud. There are train tracks, the vet kennels, and the 4:30 am dumpster pick up we’re all reasons enough to leave alone."

"We lived in the Deco for a year and loved our time there! We liked that the building was quiet, well-kept, and the management was always quick to respond to maintenance needs. The location is great, just across the street from a park and walking distance from Weilands. We felt so lucky to have found such a warm community to live in!"

"The Deco is wonderful! 1) Nicely laid out floorplan, walls are thick and the entire complex is very quiet, everything works well! 2) I really like the security of the building - a key fob is necessary to enter at all hours of the day. 3) Management - Stephanie and Kristin have been very communicative and helpful. 4) Location! Loved the residential feel of Clintonville (so easy to walk to High St) while also have easy access to Weiland's, Studio 35, great shopping, and the interstate. Lived here for about a year, and would have stayed longer if I wasn't trying to buy a house."

"We recently moved into The Deco and couldn’t be happier!! We had been looking for quite awhile for a new community and happened by this charming place and we are so happy we did!! The very first encounter we had was Amazing, Stephanie showed us around like we were family and she was genuine and wanted us to be part of the Deco not just wanting another resident. The apartments are beautifully laid out and as a woman (no offense guys) , you can really tell a woman designed the apartments. The apartments floor plans make sense and they are highly functional as well as beautiful. The maintenance staff is a highly competent group of professionals who have worked with the owner for years and they care about the apartments, which is rare in a lot of communities. The apartments are quiet and the residents and staff are friendly and welcoming!!! If you are looking for a new move the I urge you to check out The Deco!"
