I love the ivy on our apartment building! I just wonder how excited those that have windows on the top of the west side are! Oh well, they can deal. I like it too much.
Little Upkeep Maintenace but Decent Apartments at High Price

I must say that the apartments themselves are nice. You pay a price for that though. While things look good on the surface, once you live there you find out a lot of their faults…
1) crazy utility pricing. take entire bill and just divide equally between # of residents. I dont trust the cost either. Average monthly payment is $120!
2) little to no maintenance/upkeep. unfurinished basement w/ 2 washers and 2 dryers. takes forever for them to fix an issue.
3) compared to other places, with same square footing, it costs a lot more
4) parking (at my place) is a real issue.
The main issue is just they try to exude a hip/cool/fun lifestyle, and I bought into that but in reality the apartment is old and I feel they do not take care of residents like me who pay almost $10,000 annually.

When You Have Out of Town Guests
Posted by Eric Brown | Filed under Uncategorized
We understand that sometimes, when you’re out of town guests visit, there just may not be enough room at your apartment. Well, We have you covered. You, your family and or friends are welcome to use one of the Urbane Guest Suites, FREE!
Here is one Urbane Residents Experience when his Mom visited. You can see the direct thread of this conversation from facebook too
Thanks for the feedback Travis, Glad it all worked out well. A Happy Residents Mom is important! Enjoy your weekend!
Travis Brevard Hey, it was great. Easy, simple and chic (and awesome in that it’s complementary), which made it some kind of overkill for my mother. I’m sure I’ll be taking advantage of this in the future. Keep up the coolness! Thanks again

Urbane Residents Rate Their Experience
Posted by Eric Brown | Filed under Uncategorized
We started Urbane Apartments in August of 2003, with our first community, Urbane on Maple. Frankly, we had little idea what the heck we were doing, but we were passionate about our product and we set out to build a Brand. In the beginning, we dropped the ball a lot, and we sometimes still do, but we have worked hard to improve by focusing on the Residents Experience.
By that, at the end of the day, really all that matters is this; Would You Recommend Urbane to a Friend. We hope so.
We have attached below a Ratings Survey that is generated monthly through our Resident Portal on the Urbane Lobby, marked Resident Hub, and is an aggregate total as voted by Urbane Residents that live in Urbane Apartments. We cannot alter the data, or dates or filter. It is what it is, or, It Is What Urbane Residents have voted.

1) How would you rate the Urbane Leasing Experience?
