Vanguard

The nicest people work here! From the first time me walking in I just felt like this was the place, they were so helpful with all my questions and made the leasing very easy.

It is a fun place to live at the vanguard, especially with the new club house that is open it’s fun to go there and enjoy ones a while and also the events that goes on at the vanguard is fun.

Solid building, constantly improving, expanding. Thank you for the easy and seamless move-in process and the exceptional service at the leasing office

Love it here !! All the staff is amazing and very helpful!! The apartments are really nice and I’m really enjoying our new amenities. Love The Vanguard!!

This place will nickel & dime you, make up fees. Property Manager(Taylor) is rude. Find another apartment!!!!

Very nice place to stay lots of people cool place or hang out at great environment the staff are really nice good chance to meet new people and make new friends

something is always broken, and no matter how many times maintenance comes to fix things, it doesn’t fully fix it. The maintenance crew is amazing, don’t get me wrong. The problem isn’t with them, but with the building itself. It just wasn’t built well. There’s also the problem where living here feels less like an apartment complex, and more like a dorm. Either that, or it feels as though I’m living at a parent’s house. My apartment room was not trashed, or anything of the sort. There were clean dishes sitting out and drying, as well as some shoes spread around the apartment when maintenance (and the owner) came in for the inspections (which I should add does not happen at normal apartments), and my roommates and I got an email to clean the place up. I just find it ridiculous that clean dishes and shoes are enough to make management alarmed that the place was trashed.

I've visited what seems to be an endless amount of properties. I was immediately blown away as soon as I laid my eyes on this one. Head to toe, Vanguard is without a doubt top of the line. Amazing staff, arguably even better interior designers. One of the strongest buildings I've ever seen. It's a place I highly recommend. Even if only just to stop by. I promise you won't want to leave.

This property is beautiful! I really enjoyed the tour and the person working in the front was extremely nice. I have told a few of my friends about this place

Good apartment little far from campus and a little pricey but enjoy living here and not exactly in the best part of town but when I’m here it’s great

Can do better when it comes to taking resident input when it comes to projects and maintenance. Would like to see more done to engage with other residents living in the building

The maintenance team and contractors have continued to be unreliable and not show up when they tell me they will to make major repairs. Management states they will communicate with me about the timeline on the repair and fail to do so, my major repair still hasn't been completed since I moved in 2 1/2 months ago.

Living at the Vanguard is very nice. The maintenance requests get done fast and is not rushed work. Overall, this is a great place, I just wish the clubhouse was already built.

The people in the office are very kind, I'm a fan of the events and rewards, my roommates are polite, and the location is convenient for walking to work/other places.

I do like it here but my main issues have been slow responses to issues. There was a flood over winter break but we only got our flooded light fixed on the 10th of February, we've been told the gate we have to pay parking for will be up all the time but I have only ever seen it operating once, and the on site gym was supposed to be up late fall and it's already late winter without us being told anything. Staff otherwise are lovely and I like that we have events that happen, but a bit more communication would be appreciated.

None of the promised amenities are available and there are people in the building who do not know the meaning of quiet. The rooms are really nice though!

The clubhouse was supposed to built already. They opened beginning of Fall semester 2024 and now, spring semester 2025, it’s still not ready and there’s no date of when it might be ready. The management is horrible. The apartment is good. The location sucks because ther shuttle that takes you to campus is inconsistent and the want I campus is horrible and unsafe.

It’s a fun time living at the vanguard it’s a cozy and a comfortable place where they sometimes have some events and they have some great offers on the lease.

The Vanguard is the BEST student housing in Cincinnati! Between the fully furnished units and the affordable pricing I don’t know how it could get any better!!!

Love living here I love the amount of space we have in our rooms and I also love the walk in closets and having our own bathrooms in our rooms

So far so good! Every issue I have had has been immediately taken care of. The staff is very attentive to issues and very quick to respond when help is needed. Overall the price may be high, but it is worth it for how nice the apartment itself is!

My times with the vanguard haven’t been the best I have had a lot of ups and downs. The upside is that the vanguard understood my issues and have tried to work with me and help in anyway possible.

things have started to get better since the beginning of move in. there’s still some downsides, like the guest parking that needs to be paid for for a parking lot that is never really closed. hiking up the pricing for this parking for next year isn’t justifiable either. the maintenance for the place is good though. things get fixed quickly. events are hosted for vanguard residents and they’re usually pretty chill

ive been enjoying my time living here. And i really appreciate the accommodations such as gym memberships to us since the gym isnt being built yet. Everyone is beyond friendly.

Living at the Vanguard during my first semester has been an incredible experience. From day one, the community and environment have made me feel welcomed and supported, making the transition to college life seamless and enjoyable. The facilities at Vanguard are top-notch, with spacious rooms, modern amenities, and study areas that are perfect for focusing on my academics. The building is well-maintained, and there’s a real sense of comfort and security here, which has made it easy to relax after a busy day of classes. One of the highlights of living here has been the sense of community. I've had the chance to meet people from all walks of life, and everyone is friendly and eager to connect. The common areas and social events organized by the building staff have been great for meeting new friends and building a network of people to support me through the semester.

The staff is so lovely and so helpful! I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I moved in, the experience has been exceptional. The apartment itself is spacious, modern, and well-maintained, with high-quality finishes and plenty of natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped with updated appliances, and the bathroom feels like a spa with its sleek design and ample storage. I truly enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the sense of community here. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and luxury. I highly recommend The Vanguard to anyone looking for a place to call home.

Honestly, my room is gorgeous and so is the apartment, but I really haven’t been satisfied. It’s been problem after problem and we still have zero amenities or an elevator over two months in. Not to mention the parking situation for visitors is really not great. I know this place is new which I understand, but I don’t think it’s fair to charge a price when we’re not getting what was advertised almost halfway into the academic year.

Amazing place to live, currently still under construction but the amenities offered are great, private parking, only thing is it’s down hill and there’s no way around it. Community is amazing and all of the workers are super nice

a lot of the actual building part was rushed and you can definitely tell. in addition, we don’t have the amenities that we were supposed to have since they aren’t even complete yet (e.g. clubhouse, guest parking). Specifically, we don’t have guest parking. What are we supposed to do for guests?

We have no amenities our neighbors above us are ridiculously loud. The staff is nice and I understand there trying to be fair and make it fun but it’ll be the same comments and reviews until it gets fixed. I also was placed in the wrong room for almost 2 months because no one would listen to my grandma when she called about the matter

Very accommodating for moving in process. Can sometimes hear the neighbors moving around other than that no issues. The highway is sometimes a little loud and it is far from campus, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. I think it’s very affordable and clean.

I really love the vanguard so far. The building is very clean and quiet and my apartment is amazing. My apartment is everything I imagined it to be and more.

Very clean, and peaceful, and everybody is very friendly. The leasing office staff is very thoughtful, thorough, and very friendly with everything.

The Vanguard is very nice! Maintenance is fast and the staff is very informed! The only thing that I would critique is that the elevators still don’t work neither does the gate to parking!

it has been amazing and the vanguard has been very welcoming and helpful. I believe i got really lucky finding this apartment and i enjoy staying here a lot.

It is quite disappointing that amenities are unavailable to residents, and was not disclosed to tenants until near move in day. The elevators being unaccessible and non-working and living on the top floor (also paying an additional $10 a month for "top floor premium"), whilst having medical issues that make it very difficult to climb up flights of stairs everyday is very inconvenient and straining. Management has not mentioned any type of stipend for lack of amenities being available and lack completely in communication. Very disappointed.

The Vanguard is a nice place you stay for students. I do feel that they can be more organized when it comes to answering questions. Sometimes the leasing office doesn’t give the correct information

The apartment complex has been very underwhelming and not complete by any means. I pay for amenities that are not here and a bunch of unfinished work that makes the apartment look bad. Lack of communication through the entire place!

They have honestly been very untruthful about a lot of things. Barely any movers provided on move in day after being promised help because we were accommodated since our room wasn’t ready on time. We are now 2 months into school and still no working elevator in our building either.

I love the building and my room very modern and clean and updated. I like how there are three buildings like a community, just waiting on the club house !

I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the Vanguard. I am disappointed with the lack of communication, as well as the rudeness that I experience from the staff. MOST of them; with the exception of two guys (i don’t know their names) always seem to be irritated and are overall rude. Other problems: We’ve been here for a month and there has been update on the clubhouse and I don’t even believe it’s even been started, and the elevators STILL don’t work.

I love living here it’s nice and the actual apartment is really nice too. I just wish we had our amenities. Another thing is that our elevators don’t work yet and that would be nice if they did.

It has been very inconvenient not having the amenities we were promised when we signed for example when we want to have guests over we have to pick them up or tell them to park far away and walk which is not plausible when it involves parents visiting or trying to move more stuff in. The staff is really nice but the lack of amenities is the draw back. I’m sure when the club house is built this place will be worth the price but currently it feels way too expensive for what we are provided.

My experience with the Vanguard hasn’t been great but I believe they are working to fix the problems that have been happening. We had a leak in one of our pipes that was flooding our kitchen and it took over two weeks to get fixed. When we brought up the issues we were having the Vanguard took accountability and agreed their communication needs to be better!

Smooth move in with minor maintenance issues that were addressed! Love the kitchen and the walk in closets. The parking lot is good. Would refer to a friend!

No amenities. They messed up my rent. Each bedroom is a different price depending on how big it is. I switched and they said they’d update my lease but it never happened. So now I’m paying more than I should. These people have no clue what they’re doing. Do not live here.

i love my studio. its perfect space. I am excited for the amenities to be done as well which is the main reason i signed my lease for the vanguard.

The amount of times we have had to call maintenance since moving in is ridiculous. The elevator still doesn’t work. And the lack of empathy about the clubhouse not being done is disheartening!

elevators are broken so it makes moving things in really difficult, especially when living on an upper level. and the building is really finished so thats kind of annoying

The actual apartment complex is nice in itself, but falls short of having amenities ready by the move-in date. For a better experience, reducing rent would’ve helped offset the lack of amenities residents were promised at the start of the semester
