500 Station Apartments

I've lived here about 17 months now and while I love my apartment and the communities location to plenty of green space (especially for walking my dog), it has become expensive to live here now. My renewal letter came and not only was I given only 10 days to decide or the offer would expire and increase BUT the property still retained their legal 60 day notice to vacate, I saw my rent go up 10.5%. Add on that the parking space I first got as FREE I am now being charged $125/mo, but they have tacked on a mandatory $89 technology fee. (Won't get into how properties now charge you for trash pick up per month which I alway think should just be a part of the rent). Granted, I was given a $1500 concession because I argued it was cheaper not to resign for my current apt and just apply for another apt in the community because it was cheaper... odd how a LOYAL tenant is penalized to stay by higher rates but a new tenant not only gets LOWER monthly rents but other incentives, like FREE month. So, basically the concession pays for my parking and my rent still went up 10.5%. Now the TECHNOLOGY FEE of $89 is for 1G/1000Mpbs of internet via Xfinity. You can't get a lower package (I pay $55 for AT&T because its just me for 500Mpbs). THE KICKER is that if I went to Xfinity directly (I can't) that same 1000Mpbs plan is $65/month PLUS you get PEACOCK PREMIUM free. For the property it equals out to almost $120,000 of pure profit AND I still have to deal with Xfinity if there is an issue with my internet! In a nutshell, great apartment. Great location. Awesome neighbors. Cool Management. BUT if you think its a deal, wait til you renew. Its sad, because they've done nothing to the property since I moved here, havent changed anything in my apartment other than filters YET a 10% increase. Doubt management or staff saw even that much in an increase in their pay.

Let me start out by saying how we were attached to this property because of a shuttle to downtown on the weekends and another shuttle on weekdays to the train station. Both of these are now gone. The elevators are broken more than I can count, at least one of the garage doors are always down, and one of the elevators has missing pieces out of the floor. All of happening sometimes and getting fixed relatively fast wouldn't be a problem, if that were the case. Pray a light doesn't go out on your floor as they don't keep something like this in stock, very odd with 5 buildings each having 5 floors, that's a lot of lights. There was a front door out of service for about 4 months too. Putting all of those maintenance issues to the side and you will also have TERRIBLE management staff. Asked for a 2nd parking spot during a holiday special, and I was told they would get back to you, didn't get back to me but did email the entire building saying they in fact lost all data where we had assigned locations and we needed to tell them where we were original assigned. Do yourself a huge favor and look at the many, many other options. Would have been zero stars if that was an option.

NOTHING is Luxury about staying at 500 Station Blvd, they feed you a bunch of lies to get you to sign the lease and then the minute you move in any issues you have will not be resolved. The walls are very thin and you keep hear your neighbors making every type of noise. The maintenance of the building and apartments are terrible, they do the bare minimum to your unit before your move in and don't resolve any issues that you advise of that may be going on in your unit. The carpet in the hallways of every building is beyond dirty. Some renters allow there dogs to urinate in the elevators and stairways. There are kids constantly running in the hallways of the building. I would not recommend this property to anyone, I cant wait until my lease IS up, if it didn't cost so much to break your lease I would do so NOW.

The apartments appear nice and have some luxeries but once you live in them be ready to deal with a lot of frustration. It’s evident that they built the place extremely quick, and cut a lot of corners. Things were constantly breaking and the mantainance was slow to fix problems or would just say “that’s just the way it was built” with things like the carpet regularly coming up, exposing the misaligned nails to your feet. There were multiple times when the key fobs to the doors wouldn’t work and they didn’t fix them for over a week, and so you would have to try to either wait for the garage to open or hope that someone would be walking but who could let you in! The elevators were also constantly breaking down and they weren’t quick to fix those either and wouldn’t give us an exact date when they things would be fixed, so we’d end up having to carry all our groceries up 3 flights of stairs. The counter tops were uneven and things would roll off. The cabinets would have issues opening all the way and would rub against each other making a horrible noise, and the parking garage and hall ways would sometimes smell like sewage. We had some friends who also lived there who once had the sewage back up into their apartment (on the second floor) and it ruined a lot of their stuff. Management did the bare minimum to keep them and the rest of us quiet when problems would come up because they knew we wouldn’t have the time to try to fight it with them. Once we moved out we found out we found out that they weren’t forwarding any of our mail and it cause huge problems. When we contacted them to try to figure out where it was, they would just keep telling us they would look into it and call us back. I get that every place has its issues, but this place is excessive to say the least, and the management is only after signing new leases, nothing more.

First class facilities and amenities. Staff is 2nd to none! Great location with tons of shopping, easy access to Route 59 train station, and easy interstate access.

The apartment is great, all renovated. The community is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and willing to help out! The management desk is always trying to organize events each week for community members to meet each other.

So this has been a great experience. The neighbors have been very welcoming and the events have been a great opportunity to meet new people.

yes

The only negative of this apartment is the lack of insulation. We can hear every movement from the people above us, we can hear when their water is running, etc. It is noisy and poorly insulated.

The apartment is quiet for the most part and the garage parking is very nice.

I just moved in on Saturday. There are too many things to love about this apartment complex. To start with, the leasing office staff are very friendly, and do a good job walking you through everything you need to know prior and during your move-in. The parking garage is spacious, they even have carts next to the elevator you can use to help bring up groceries and heavy objects. They have a bike room in each building where you can store bikes. The apartment is beautiful, and as modern as you can get. I can nitpick a few things that could be better about the unit, but there are very minor. I have met a good amount of the residence already, and everyone has been extremely friendly, making you feel very much at home. Also, you can't go wrong with the location. You have a super Target, Meyer and Marianos within a mile away. You also have Fox Valley Mall across the street, and downtown Naperville 10 minutes away. Oh yea, the apartment complex has a shuttle that takes you to and from downtown Naperville from 6:30 PM to 12:30 AM on the weekends!

From the moment I walked into the leasing office, I knew this place would be at the top of my list. I fell in love with the community from the pictures online and the actual property did not disappoint. It was everything I was looking for in an apartment. The look and feel when we walked in was exactly what I wanted when I would come home.

I would totally recommend this apartment community. Tara ,Hailey ,Allison .. is the best. I love those ladies. They are Amazing and I love working with them. So easy to speak with. Our maintenance guys are the best. Because of all these guys and girls I will be resigning my lease for another year. Customer service going a long way. They give 101 percent❤️

I love that each building has a theme and there is lots to do. The staff are amazing and helpful whenever I interact with them. It is a great place to live.

Close to Fox Vally Mall and various other strip malls. The train station is 5 minutes away plus there is a shuttle for residents which is free, a awesome benefit. I-88 and route 59 are a few minutes away. Downtown Aurora or Naperville is a easy drive. Rush Copley Medical Center is 4 miles way. Plus a outstanding school district for the kids, and various universities and colleges in metro Chicago area.

Communication between website and community needs to be addressed. Sent in correspondence via community website and never received response. Completed rental application nearly 24hrs ago and no response yet on status. If I didn?t like the property so much this would be a huge red flag on professionalism IMO.

It?s new, clean, efficient, modern yet cozy. Overall, it appears to be a very place to live.

The finishes and amenities are superior to every other property I visited before moving here, with competitive rates.

I?m concerned about the leniency for residents that continue to break rules by smoking , noise , failure to dispose of trash and pet waste and the cleanliness of the parking garage.

I would definitely recommend this community to others! Everyone is friendly and it?s a great location!

This is the most beautiful apartment/home in a 10 mile radius (I visited a lot of them). I was the first renter and love it hear. I signed on over 1 year before completion. The staff is wonderful and I plan on staying for quite a while.

There are many plus factors about recommending this community. Firstly, the employees at 500 Station are always friendly and go above and beyond to ensure our needs have been met. Secondly, the apartment, amenities and general experience of this complex exceed expectations. Thirdly, the location is spectacular. The location is near the train, grocery stores, shopping, highway and everything in general.

I would recommend this apartment community because they are brand new and the location is convenient to everything. The amenities and upgrades are nice and the price points are fair.

On the surface the property looks very upscale, but once you start looking at the details you realize that the fit and finish isn't really there. Cabinets bump appliances, lights. Sinks not installed correctly; closet hanging rods were not correct height or had the correct space in between; lack of closet space for general storage. Probably a one year deal for me.

I'm very happy with our decision to move here. However in hindsight moving into a brand new building before construction is done and all the kinks worked out may be not such a good idea.

I tell everyone that I know and even those that I have just met that this is by far the best place to live. PERIOD...

Apartment is nice it just needs better quality doors and the quality of paint you use is not good also my intercom is still not working and that is an amenity I need to let my guests in and I should have a reduction in rent based on it not working for over 30 days. Also my thermostat was not fully explained how I need to set it up or I was not help to get it working on my Wi-Fi

One minus, after all the many pluses: lack of storage space. Why wasn't the water heater put in the same space as the HVAC? That would have left half the laundry closet available for storage. As it is, there's barely a space other than on top of the water heater or on the floor for detergent, bleach, softener, etc. It would also have provided space for a mop, vacuum, and other upright items. I have an ironing board squeezed in between W/D and water heater, along with a folding stepstool, but the vacuum is taking up space in the closet, which is packed to the gills. Poor design, and space is wasted.

Beautiful community. Met all my requirements to call a home. Leasing professional was very friendly and answered all our questions to our satisfaction.

The apartments are really nice .. shahid the leasing officer who explained everything .. he is professional,personable and sweet .. cannot wait to live there
