Cedar Heights

Water temperature is awful entire time it’s being used. Concrete flooring with wood-themed wallpaper. Outdated refrigerators and dishwashers. Not worth the money!

We have lived here for the past year, and it has been the best apartment we have ever had! The people who work here are so kind and willing to help with anything. The neighbors are awesome! It definitely feels like home! And we are excited to sign another year lease!

This place was built in the 70s and it shows, but management puts a lot of effort into keeping it maintained. As you can tell from the photos most units are updated. Though not every unit is updated at the same time or in the same way. We ended up in one of the units with older kitchen appliances (25+ years old) and had vinyl flooring not wood or tile like some others. However at the first sign of our dishwasher and fridge not working well, management replaced them quickly no questions asked and no raise of rent. If someone is moving out that owned a cat, they replace the carpet and repaint everything before new tenants move in. They always do a good job clearing snow and landscaping. They respond to tenant requests quickly and communicate very well, but aren’t nosey or overbearing. They inspect the apartments once a year and change the air filters twice a year (though will do so more often if you ask) I would not call the property “gated” even though it is listed as such here. Every building entrance has its own key and each tenant only gets the key for the entrance near them. The pool is fenced in. But anyone can walk around the property right up to the buildings. I haven’t experienced any crime in my 2 years here so I am not worried, but it is worth mention. The buildings are not handicap accessible except for units on the ground floor. There are no elevators or ramps. Every unit is shaped different in some way. Some units have high ceilings, some don’t. Some units have washers/dryers, some don’t (but there are public washers/dryers on every floor). Only balconies on the top floor have a built-in light. I dig it, but all I am saying is definitely tour the unit you want to stay in before committing. The balcony is massive and all wood, so no grilling and you can’t have too much weight out there, but I still have space for a hammock, bike, side table, and some plants. I turned one of the spare closets into a little craft room since it was so spacious. The fireplaces are gas but I have never used it. There is a storage closet for each apartment in the public hallway on your floor that you get a key for. There is a dumpster by each building, but there are only 2 recycling bins on the property, one on each end, so you have to walk further to take out the recycle. Recycling accepts paper, cardboard, hard plastics, and tin cans/foil. It does not accept glass, plastic bags or films. I have to take glass to a place on 60th St.

We love the floor plan and the apartment loft. The office staff is very polite, and willing to help. Maintenance is a bit slow. We turned in a paper of issues for maintenance to fix when we moved in, and it took them a month to get to our list. Otherwise ever time was have had an issue maintenance has been there that day.

I rent a one bedroom on the second floor with a nice view of the surrounding area. Living Room, bedroom, and eat-in kitchen are all larger than expected. HUGE deck. W/D require a lot of quarters but conveniently located on each floor. (Some units have W/D.) Rent is reasonable for the area. Location is central to the city. Close to neighborhood grocery stores and restaurants. Close but not too close to interstate. Landscape is lush and green with lots of mature trees. I love seeing trees out my windows and sliders. Only negative comment I have is that there could be better soundproofing to soften the sounds of my upstairs neighbor walking.
