Water Street Apartments

"Unpleasant Apartment and Unhelpful Office Staff I currently have the unfortunate experience of residing in Water Street Apartments, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts on the dismal living conditions and the unprofessional behavior of the office staff. From the moment I moved into the apartment, it was clear that maintenance and cleanliness were not a priority (Side note: the building the office is in will have you fooled because it is clean and smells good. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THAT). The apartment was filthy upon arrival, with visible signs of neglect in every corner. Despite multiple complaints, the issues were never adequately addressed, leaving me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied with the living environment. Moreover, the office staff exhibited a consistently bad attitude and lack of professionalism. They were dismissive of residents' concerns and unresponsive to requests for assistance. It was disheartening to encounter such apathy and disregard for customer service in a place that should be focused on ensuring the well-being and satisfaction of its residents. Overall, my experience at Water Street was nothing short of disappointing. The combination of subpar living conditions and unhelpful office staff made it clear that this is not a place I would recommend to anyone seeking a comfortable and welcoming living environment. In conclusion, I urge prospective tenants to look elsewhere for accommodation, as Water Street falls far short of expectations in both quality of living and customer service. If I could I would give this place a -10 star."

"Molly and co. are super friendly and attentive. The maintenance crew takes excellent care or the property. The location is central to dining, recreation, and nightlife. Great views of the skyline an river."

"Place looks nice from the outside but is actually dangerous and ghetto. Homeless people and criminals sleep on people’s balconies and try to break into units. Criminals and delinquents break into the pool and start fights. If you park in the garage, your car will be broken into and you may get robbed. Management inside the building does not seem to care. Police respond to the building in groups, as even they consider it to be a danger to their safety. Please be very careful."

"For the amount of money we pay for unit you would think the fix would have been spotless. You can tell where the repair was done and it looks unprofessional. I’ve seen better work done by professionals. Overall just not impressed the paint job upon move in looks as if a child painted the unit as well as the repair. I regret the move to the property."

"Amazing apartments. I've lived in two different layouts, and they are brand new. Pricing is good for the quality you're getting as well. Nice wood floors and new appliances. Every time my husband and I have an issue, we put in a request, and it's fixed the next morning by the staff. They are so helpful. These are definitely the nicest apartments in Dayton. The staff also puts on alot of events for the tenants, which is awesome. Another bonus is that there are fireworks right across the river on the fourth, and they rope off our apartments so no outsiders can get in. You have a front row seat, it's great. Atmosphere is really quiet as well. It's definitely not run down by loud college kids. There has been some construction which is annoying. However, they are just making it look nicer, so I'm okay with it. Plus, other than the hammering, it hasn't affected me at all. Great pool, lobby with starbucks, movie theater, grills, fire pits, and scenic walk on the river right next to the bike path. I love love love living here! It's a luxury apartment without the feeling like you're living in a hotel. The only worry I would have is with the amount of new apartments going up at this location, I wish they would add more grills or increase the size of the pool area. But I haven't had an issue with it, yet. Someone below gave a poor review for lack of parking for visitors. That is frustrating, however, that is not water street's fault. The city of dayton owns those lots, so tenants pay ABM parking services to park there as well. It's not like the front office lines their pockets with what ABM parking charges. Also, what do you expect for a downtown city apartment? There is an open lot across the street that you put like a dollar in the box, and street parking is free on nights and weekends. Lots of restaurants and bars have been going up around the area which is awesome. It's a short walk from Riverscape. It's right across the street from the Dragons stadium, but the games are never so loud that you can even hear them from water street. Plus, you get the downtown feel without it being super loud and crammed with traffic. It's super easy to navigate. HIGHLY recommend living here. My husband and I are going on starting our second year here in January, and we have no plans to leave yet:)"
