Dearborn West Apartments

I lived here for 2 years and I enjoyed every minute of it, I wasn’t familiar with the area when I moved here but quickly grew to love it! Very convenient to stores/businesses, the people around were friendly, the office staff/maintenance was attentive & made sure to get things done. I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait longer than a day after putting a request in. The outside at night is very well lit and it’s a safe environment, I’ve never had any issues with car break ins or neighbors etc. There’s only two cons I’ve had with this place, I lived in an upstairs unit and in the summer the bedroom does get insanely hot. If you move here having a portable ac unit is a MUST. The other con is the apartments are a bit outdated, not super outdated though, all my appliances worked very well but

Extremely Unprofessional and Disrespectful of Tenant Privacy Today, someone unannounced and unauthorized unlocked and entered our apartment while I was inside with my wife and kids. We were given no notice, no phone call, no text—nothing. It was shocking, unsafe, and completely unacceptable. When I called the management, they casually said it was an “emergency for water leaks”—but no one in the building even knew about it, and there was no sign of any real emergency. They violated our privacy and entered our home without consent, which is a serious breach of tenant rights. We no longer feel safe or respected in this place. If you’re thinking of living here, be very careful about how they treat your privacy and basic rights.

No central AC but central heat..really bites. Bedrooms get HOT during the summers due to this. There are unit specific washer and dryers on site. I need to add they’re raising rent as of May ‘24. I see others saying their place has been remodeled, mine has not and is from the 70s at least. Can’t help but wonder if myself and the newly remodeled people are paying the same…

Not a great place to stay, staff is friendly....but if you are a little late with rent they will charge you 160 ASAP to go to court you could only owe 20 or 40 bucks an they will still put you out. Also rent is high maintenance is late. I have to turn my heat up all the way to 80 degrees just so my apartment can get warm Because it’s cold then summer time burn up because of one room air conditioner. For the amount they are charging for the apartments and two bedroom townhome they could At least put in Central air units to the apartments and townhomes.

I have an ant problem and it seems like the contractor comes on his own time or a timeframe so I have to sit and waste my day or not if he comes earlier than expected and the apartment complex didn’t tell me until 15 mins after I emailed them as I was grocery shopping
