“We have really enjoyed living at Metro Place! Ellen, Lindi, and Julio are always there to help with anything we need. This has been one of the best experiences we have had with any apartment complex. You’ll love it here!”
“I’ve had a fantastic experience living here so far! The management team is top-notch—super friendly, responsive, and genuinely care about residents. They made the whole move-in process incredibly smooth, providing clear communication every step of the way. The facilities are always spotless and well-maintained, which really makes a difference in the overall living experience. It’s clear that they take pride in creating a comfortable, clean, and welcoming environment. I’m really happy with my choice to live here and would highly recommend it to anyone!”
“Working with Julie and Ben over the last year of my stay at okemos station has been nothing but wonderful. Incredibly communicative and compassionate, and super clear in direction, and quick to work.”
“I've lived here six months...Nothing but good things to say about this complex. The manager and maintenance people are friendly and helpful. Unit's are clean and well maintained.”
“Elsa Property Manager is Fabulous and she is always available to help with questions and is ALWAYS Courteous and willing to help us with all issues..she goes above and beyond..she is Far better than others that have had her position ..she is Loved And Respected by all here.”
“The place is nice , the apartments are big . The security is basic. But my mom lost lots of memories from a thief in her storage unit. No security measures there either. Could do better. All in all it's not totally a totally bad place to be. They do have activities for the residents and a veggie truck that comes once in a while..”
“Three months post move-in.
A really well-rounded place. There are a few cons, but these are outweighed by the many pros imo. By reading the other reviews,, it seems some people had specific issues with the place, so reading those too might be beneficial. When I first moved in, I wasn't super sure it was as good as was promised, given many different parts of the building were broken or in need of repair (doors and garage stuff, not stuff actually in the apartment). Gradually, these were repaired, including the broken parking garage gate. Below is a general list of notable things I think possible future tenants might want to know:
Pros:
- The cheapest single apartments in the region by FAR, at least as of December 2024. Surprising given the quality.
- Great quality appliances, haven't needed any repairs yet
- Utilities are actually reasonably priced. Like less than $50 a month if you have even a minimal level of power saving effort
- Quiet. Sometimes people in the hallways are loud, but never more than a minute or two.
- Great workout room, like seriously.
- This might be weird to some, but the tap water tastes REALLY good. Something I found a good silver lining
- The key fobs are pretty reliable once you double-tap them.
Neutral:
- Parking garage. The parking is cheap per month, and you get your own spot and everything. However, the garage is narrow and you have to get good at carefully driving in it if you live higher than like the 3rd floor. Heaven forbid you have a large truck.
Cons:
- Garbage chutes are always clogged from dumb people just cramming stuff in and leaving it (at least on the third floor, maybe the upper levels are better). Seriously, screw yall. The maintainance people are decent at clearing them out, but its just easier to use one of the dumpsters behind he building, which I have no issue with.
-My bike was stolen. It was locked up in the external bike area (the lock to that area was broken so I kinda knew what I was getting into) but was stolen after around a month of being locked up in there. Not a huge deal but definitely something to note if you use your bike a lot.
This place has its faults, but remains consistent enough that I would eagerly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable apartment.”
“Eric from maintenance is amazing!! He came very quick and repaired a number of things in our apartment. He’s very knowledgeable and gets the jobs done quickly and efficiently!!!”
