Reviews of Columbia Uptown
"Trust me, avoid Columbia Uptown and all other properties managed by Van Metre *at all costs.* Columbia Uptown is a horrible place to live. The building is plagued by constant theft, with packages, bikes, and bike wheels being constantly stolen and management doing virtually nothing about it. You simply cannot have packages reliably delivered to you at Columbia Uptown. I know tenants who have lost *hundreds and hundreds of dollars* worth of stolen packages. Don't let them tell you the "package machine" will protect your packages. It does not, because even when the machine is working, your packages very rarely will make it into the machine in the first place. You also simply cannot use the bike storage room, as theft is virtually guaranteed. Van Metre management is also terribly unresponsive and unhelpful to many tenants and their concerns. They also very frequently close the front office at random times or on random days throughout the week, with no notice to tenants. Tenants are therefore often unable to effectively communicate with management about their concerns. Believe me, you can find a much better place to live than Columbia Uptown. Avoid it and all other Van Metre properties like the plague."
"Before applying to this place, be 100% sure you want to live here because they make you pay a $350 fee on top of a $50 application fee. Before applying, I called to ensure this extra fee would be refundable if we ended up choosing another apartment which I was assured it was. It only became a "move-in fee" if you signed the lease. Well, after continuing to call them over the course of 2 weeks to see if we were approved, we went with another apartment and surprise, they said I was told wrong information and pocketed my $350 "move-in fee" even though I am not moving in. I will also note that on top of being mislead over the phone as to what their policy was, the application includes a fee agreement that only mentions "Application and Reservation Fees". There is no mention of a "pick-and-go-fee" which is what I paid or a "move-in fee" which is apparently what it would have become. The fee structure for this apartment company is misleading in writing and over the phone and it cost me $350 to learn this."
"Moved here a few months ago and so far it has been a great experience. It's truly a gem since it's near two metro stations on either side of 14th St., it's always kept clean, there's a laundry room and gym on site, and any kind of shopping is within a 15 minute walk. The people who live here seem to be families, students and young professionals. Recently had issues with our AC unit and the staff and maintenance was highly responsive and communicative and got it fixed before the hotter days of summer. Their help is greatly appreciated and I want to give a shout-out to Vanessa and the maintenance crew!"
"My AC, dishwasher and hot water heater were all broken upon move-in. Over a month later we STILL have no working AC and our unit is 75-80 degrees at night. The dishwasher was finally repaired after a month. Living here has been miserable so far. Nothing went smoothly - my lease was written up wrong, parking spot double booked, and maintenance doesn’t comply with the law. Do not live here!!!"
"I moved to this complex on July 13th, I have only been here for about two weeks and I am already extremely disappointed with management. On Saturday 20th, my boyfriend locked his bike in the bike storage room, on Sunday 21st, when we went downstairs to pick it up, the bike was not there, all that was left was his front wheel chained to the rack. We noticed that there were 4 chained bike wheels left in the rack, so it was a total of 4 bikes missing. I immediately contacted management and authorities, we then proceeded to file a police report. The police officer informed us that this is not the first time she has been called in for theft in the bike storage room at Columbia Uptown. On Sunday, I emailed Saray asking her what my options were and what the building intended to do to make this right, my email was ignored. On Monday, July 22nd, I took a day off from work to deal with this issue in person, when I went to the leasing office I was met with a rude attitude and unwillingness to help from Ayah and Saray, they told me it was my responsibility to lock my bike, as previously mentioned, my boyfriend did indeed lock his bike. Am I supposed to accept that I am out of $650 and that it is my fault? I did not expect them to victim blame us when we reported the theft. I chose to live in Columbia Uptown and pay more than I was paying for at my previous residence because I thought this was a safe environment, but in less than a month it has been proven otherwise. I would think that for the amount of rent we pay, we would receive a better service and be able to feel secure. The bike storage room, laundry services, and gym are all located in the basement which is an enclosed space but still accessible to anyone who is outdoors because of the open doors in the back, which makes it dangerous for everyone, particularly for women. Needing a fob to get in and out of an apartment building does not make it secure when the backdoors are wide open and strangers are able to get in and out as they please. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone who appreciates safety or wants to know their valuables will still be there when they wake up."
