Centerfield Flats

"Decent price, overall pleased, some annoyances. Pros: + Good cost per square foot (~1.6-1.7 $/sqf) + Clean interiors, simple design. + Decently organized package room. Carts available. + Two elevators + Digital key to the building, physical keys to apartment. + Sound isolation is good. I very rarely can hear an upstairs neighbor clomping around, and I can play my stereo up to 70-80 dBa without a single complaint issued. + 2019 construction. + Neighborhood is actively developing, decently safe, good foot traffic. We did have a car break in this summer, but no grand theft auto. + Fiber internet, 1 gigabit for $75. Meh: = Parking is decent, $50-$75 assigned through Parkade, surface lot. = Choose between a view of the baseball field (with all the noise) or a view of the parking lot + radio tower (with no sound except the occasional train). = Club house with a view of the baseball field if you're a Dragon's fan. Bad: - Man, they don't take out garbage frequently enough. There is no chute, just one room per floor with large trash cans. These are supposed to be emptied at least 5 days per week, but there are days that you will smell the reek of rotting garbage. There's a vent in the garbage room but it doesn't negatively pressurize the room, so smell leaks out. I feel for the tenants located near the garbage room, it's unbearably foul smelling in the hallway half of the days of the week. - Drains for bathroom sinks are incorrectly designed. The PVC pipe is too narrow and the height between the drain opening and where the PVC meets the wall is not high enough to motivate drainage (potential energy = force of gravity * height). Consequently the bathroom sinks drain more slowly than they fill and you will have a nasty basin of toothpaste and whatever else you blow into the sink that will slowly drain and coat the sink. This is a design flaw and cannot be fixed without breaking open the wall. - No gym. - No pool."

"Honestly , it’s a great place to live . You’re truly paying for the privacy , security, & peace. Outside of the extra amenities charges ( that you probably won’t ever use ) and price for parking….. YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOUR PAYING FOR . HOWEVER , I can say that for the price being paid to live here a pool , gym , and free parking should definitely be added for residents. They do offer complimentary Dragons tickets sometimes but if you’re not looking at your email on that exact day , you’ll miss the opportunity…… or you may not even enjoy baseball like myself. They do tend to change staff a lot ( not sure why).& There is quite a bit of car break ins every here and there but that isn’t Centerfields fault . You’re directly downtown ….. so a lot of outsiders for games , restaurants, etc ! Neighbors don’t bother you at all . Very very FEW children in the building which is a PLUS !! If anything they may be 5+ and well mannered . Your neighbors will be mostly people who are doctors , lawyers , police officers , or nurses with a dog or two ."

"This is truly a terrible place to live. They treat their tenants terribly. Do NOT live here. 99% of the time the community room didn't even have the amenities working. Elevators been broken for months, security with elevators is broken. Please don’t live here. Raising prices on parking at random. Lying management. Prices are way to high for them to be treating tenants the way they do. For real the parking is a nightmare for such an affluent property and area. Almost seems as if they’re just money hungry."

"Great place to live, very friendly staff. Residents are very diverse and friendly. Parking is sparse if you have guest. The Local Cantina can get loud at time, but nothing too bad if you close the windows. They do have a bit of a dog poop problem because people are not picking up after their pets. There doesn't seem to be a weight or breed restriction. There are some amenities I wish the building had, but overall I like the community and feel safe on the property. Now if they would just put in a dog wash station and visitor parking or enforce the parking rules period that would be great. There is no one monitoring parking after hours. No maintenance on the weekends which means no one takes out the trash and it tends to overflow. Despite all I would still recommend the property."

"Eric and all the staff at Centerfield Flats make apartment living in downtown Dayton a GREAT experience. Centerfield is brand new with modern EVERYTHING! The restaurant on the first floor is a real perk, as well. The welcoming vibe and location can not be beat.......LOVE it here and proud to call it "HOME"!"
