Avenue5 Residential

I'm writing from an experience as a former serious potential customer who almost moved there. My kids and I first looked at Farmstead soon after they finished phase 1 cottages. We met with one of the leasing agents who showed us the cottages. She was very nice the first time and management appeared accommodating. The rent was $1750 for the 1 bed cottage. The timing didn't work out, so we re-visited again this year. We were told multiple times that the rent would stay the same for phase 1 until 2025. Then the rent would go up when Phase 2 came along. At the end of the summer, we looked again and decided we'd move forward and see about applying. The rent was still $1750. 2 weeks later, The rent went up $75, then again a couple weeks later, went up another $75. ($150 total) I asked about it and they said because the cottages were sooooo popular, the owners raised the rent. This is the first hint at what kind of money hungry ownership you will deal with. They would not honor the fact that we were long time interested clients and were originally guaranteed by leasing agent multiple times that the rent was not going up. They were very dismissive, stopped returning emails with questions we had and were not as friendly the 2nd time we viewed the cottage. As you can see now, the rent is back to $1750 because people are leaving in droves after seeing the true picture. $1750 is overpriced for what you get. We thankfully did not give up our fabulous apartment where they do have cameras on the parking spaces. There were a couple of car break ins, but management took it seriously and kindly informed all residents, and asked for ring doorbell footage as well. No break ins in a couple years thanks to a landlord who cares about the residents. Farmstead has typical management who does not keep their word and blames it on ownership. Words of advise- find a rental where you are treated like a valuable asset, and not a pesky fly who gets treated shabbily when management is under pressure. Amenities like a pool and hot tub and a postage stamp fenced back yard where the neighbors can see right in your window and not worth all that. Stone Bridge is the best apartment complex in town!

Pros:
The gym and outdoor facilities are nice
Good security
Ample guest parking
Responsive staff
Being next to a metro stop is awesome

Cons:
The neighborhood is dirty and dangerous
Lots of homeless and people actively taking drugs next door
Pet owners here are not great. Lots of loud animals and accidents in public areas.

There are good, inexpensive apartments available if you are willing to put up with a short commute.
I initially applied to Verano Place and Palo Verde, but didn't find out the results until just before school started. I had a small child and decided not to wait for the results to find a home. At first I was looking for a house in Irvine near the school, but the rent was quite expensive. So I decided to look for a house, allowing 20-25 minutes each way to get to school, and found an apartment that was new and not expensive!
The apartment is new and very clean and comfortable. It is also very secure and safe.

Close to 101

The maintenance team is great but the leasing office is very hard to reach. There are a lot of things that need fixing, and the security is not good which is a concern for downtown residence.

Overall great experience. Management is easy to work with and I've had no issues while living here.

Very clean and modern feeling. There is a heated outdoor pool on the fifth floor. I wish there was a grill on the fifth floor. It's across the street from DU.

Lots of friendly residents, lots of pets in the apartment, close to bars and restaurants and freeway onramps. Easy to navigate but management is a bit slow in responding. Maintenance is only run by one guy so it is difficult to get a fast response or quick fix, but super friendly.

Every time i leave a review it gets removed. They must really not like the truth getting posted. We have a right to share our experience for any future people looking in. This place is HORRIBLE ! They have been through at least 7 Managers/Owners in the last 3 years. They had no maintence for 3 years, weren't doing repairs. They have rat, squirrel, & bed bug problems. There is trash everywhere, kids not attended by any adults resulting in damages to cars, apartment windows, etc. If you think you will get in contact with management you wont, I'm pretty sure they screen calls because they never pick-up, they don't return voice messages or emails when sent repeatedly. They don't hold themselves accountable for the repeated over charges on accounts, promises to update & reach back.. they don't but put letters on doors about money issues when its already been talked about. They have zero follow through. Neighbors are childish, like to fight and threaten other residents. I am pretty sure there is mold in my walls. Parking is rough, many people will just block your car in your spot. Dog poop all over kids can't play in grass without dragging in on their shoes. Residents play loud music (in the parking lot) well into 1-4am on weekdays, doing burn outs in the parking lot. The "clubhouse" in the office stated on their site (utilize for party etc) you must pay a non refundable ridiculous cleaning deposit. The pool was closed for 3 years, this year only open during office hours (whenever the allowed). "playground" is a joke. They switched to a new payment site that charges us $10 each payment. Out of control!! run right past this listing & don't look back. (I have videos & photos to back up everything posted)

Overall my experience at The Quinn has been good. Downsides are the office was hard to reach when I was signing my lease and they pulled my lease on a cheaper unit putting me in a more expensive one. The management team is very nice when you can reach them. The price is comparable or lower than similar apartments in the same area. It is close to Henderson and not to far from campus. The gym is nice but small and the pool looks nice but I have not used it or seen other people using it. There are also dog parks on property. The property is relatively small and has a lot of families and older adults, but not many college age/young adults. Some of the people seem a bit sketchy, but I have felt safe. The property is gated and the gate has been functioning properly since I have been there. You can tell some of the units are not well kept from the look of the windows as you drive around the property, but my unit was in good condition at move in.

Ok for price

These apartments were built last November so they are brand new. It is gated with security. I’ve seen no roaches/bugs in my apartment which is rare in Vegas. Crime rates are low in this area as well so as a single small women, I feel so safe.

Overall a very nice living experience, the building is new and well managed.

Great location, about an 8 minute drive from campus. Access to riverfront walking path. Complex is clean and wesll run.

Don't be fooled by the beautiful building. This management company, Avenue5, is the worst I've ever dealt with, by far. Staff are entirely unresponsive to maintenance requests and smoke right at the front door below tenants' open windows. The building is constantly too hot, too loud, or both. Good luck getting any sleep here. Cars have been stolen out of the garage and staff have called the police on tenants. This place is a nightmare.
