Overpriced with horrible management
These apartments are over priced with horrible management. A new management company took over and they are just as bad if not worse than the previous management company.

Pleasant Service!
Loved the marble lobby! My tour was great and as a huge history lover, it was amazing to see the architecture of this place. They also have an on site cafe that delivers to your door. The coffee and customer service during my tour was amazing!

We appreciate your kind feedback, and we look forward to assisting you with more stellar service in the future! We're happy to help with any questions you may have in the future. Have a nice day!

not worth the rent.
Poor management. Get everything in writing. Not worth the hassle or rent.

We want to share that management has recently changed at The Flats at Professional Arts Building, and with that change comes a renewed commitment to better communication, responsiveness, and overall resident satisfaction.

Worst management I have ever seen
Packages disappear many times; Full of mice (and even rat) in some floors; Front gate and back door of the apartment were under repair for months and never got fixed completely. Anyone can walk in the building; Most of time there was no one sitting in the on-site office; If you finally found someone in the management team, they could not offer help in almost everything.
Property Manager Responded: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We truly regret that you encountered these issues, and we understand how disappointing and disruptive they must have been. We want to let you know that management at The Flats at Professional Arts Building has recently changed, and with that change comes a strong commitment to addressing the very concerns you've mentioned—from building access and maintenance to communication and overall resident support. We're actively working to improve service, and provide a better living environment for our residents. We hope you'll begin to see the difference as these changes take effect. — The Flats at Professional Arts Building Management Team

Awful management
We had a huge concern for personal safety living in this apartment complex. 1. The lock system for the front door has been down intermittently in the past 6 months. When it is down, everyone from outside has access to the building. 2. We had packages and personal belongings stolen. 3. Security and management staff are often absent at the front desk.
