Property Ratings at Downing Apartments
READ THE REVIEWS AND DON'T LIVE HERE. While the paint may appear nice, all of the apartments have a lot of issues with heating, cooling, pest control, plumbing, lighting, etc. Rushmore Management notoriously does not communicate about anything, maintain their properties nor resolve any issues. For the rent, there are better options.
Property Manager at Downing Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hi, we are sorry to see your review of our community and read of your concerns. We'd like to reach out to you and do whatever we can to assist, but are unable to locate your name and contact information on our resident list. If you do reside at Downing Apartments, please don't hesitate to reach out to our on-site team who will be happy to help. Wishing you well! The Downing Apartments Management Team
I never lived where roaches or mice reside. Someone told me if you see 1 that means there’s more and they were right. The leasing manager sends out pest control emails occasionally but using the service is useless if ALL tenants aren’t using it which is the case with the building I live in. Unfortunately, I’m planning to move when I can because of the roaches. I will say that I live in a renovated unit and I haven’t seen any mice.
Property Manager at Downing Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hi, we are sorry to see that your experience has not been more positive. Per our record, we regularly communicate with residents regarding pest control services. We will be sending out another email to all residents, emphasizing the importance of notifying us about any pest issues so that we can address them promptly. We look forward to restoring your confidence in Downing Apartments! The Downing Apartments Management Team
Numerous attempts to communicate with the management and maintenance teams, all of which have been met with disappointing silence. The lack of responsiveness and disregard for resident concerns is truly disheartening. Despite multiple emails detailing problems, there has been no acknowledgement or action taken. This lack of communication and inaction is unacceptable and shows a clear disregard for the well-being of the residents. Move out of here and stay away from this place.
Property Manager at Downing Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hi, we sincerely apologize for the communication challenges you faced. Resident satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to enhancing our responsiveness. Your valuable feedback will help us make improvements. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Wishing you well! The Downing Apartments Management Team
I couldn’t wait to move out! Property managers never handled any concerns. They don’t care about tenants. Renovated every apartment that was vacant but those of us who chose to stay lived in unrenovated apartments. So don’t be fooled by the pics. I’m sure whoever will live in my old apartment will find pay more than I did without the amenities! Mice living rent free; pest control is a joke they leave sticky pads throughout the apartment. Mouse caught on pad in bedroom and living room on the weekend at that (they don’t provide emergency services). I told management in Monday they said maintenance does not remove them. Neighbors are easily heard all times of the night, and those who own homes in the neighborhood are rude and snobby about street parking, which sucked because parking lots are small. My car was swiped numerous times. FYI don’t be late on rent past 12 days or you will be put on eviction notice, but don’t worry once you pay legal fees they might let you stay. Good luck.

Hi, we are truly sorry that your experience at our community has been less than positive. Our management and maintenance staff work hard to ensure that all issues brought to their attention are addressed immediately. We apologize again, and wish you much luck in your new home. The Downing Apartments Management Team
I do not recommend this place at all. Since I moved i had problem after problem. Dryer broke, air broke, bathroom faucet was clogged with old debris, boiler steaming and making horrible sounds. Management is the worst and maintenance is not great. You will be lucky if you end up next to a good neighbor.
Property Manager at Downing Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hi, we apologize for the issues you've experienced. Per our records, our maintenance team has come down to address all of your concerns. If there is anything further we can do to improve your stay, please don't hesitate to reach out. All the best. The Downing Apartments Management Team
Scheduled an appointment for 6/26 @ 1:30 PM. The leasing agents never showed up. I called the office and someone said they would be there in 10 minutes, they also never showed. Sat there for 2 hrs.
Property Manager at Downing Apartments, Responded To This Review
We truly apologize for your unpleasant experience. We are unclear as to how this mix-up happened, because 6/26 was a Monday and we do not schedule tours at this property for Mondays. It is certainly frustrating, and we wish there is something we can do to restore your confidence in our community. If you are willing to give us another chance, please reach out and we will be glad to assist you. We wish you all the best. The Downing Apartments Management Team
If you wanna get apartment from this property you will wait a lot. They always promise call you back, but you get nothing. This is the one of the bad experiences I have ever had with rent of apartments.??????
My boyfriend and I moved in the beginning of April. While we did have some complications at first, management was able to fix them within the first three days and everything has been great ever since.
Property Manager at Downing Apartments, Responded To This Review
Our apologies while we strive to make every move-in hiccup free. We are so happy to have made the appropriate repairs in a timely manner.
Nice, clean, spacious and newly renovated apartments in a quiet beautiful area. The Property Management (Romelis) is respectful and professional. She is doing such a great job, always available, quick to reply, and get things fixed and done in timely manner. I will recommend it. 5 stars.

I lived in a Rushmore Apartment for over a year, and it’s Maintenance is great from trash to lawn Care. Also their Customer Service is Top Notch! I never had a problem under this Ownership and to be honest don’t plan on having none! I recommend Downing to anyone. Kenny G

Thank you for the compliments. Our staff work really hard to make current & new Residents to feel at home.
The apartments are newly renovated, clean, and nice. The Property Management is always quick to reply and get things fixed/corrected in a timely manner. The application process was easy and I got approved in seconds. She was also very respectful and professional. The location is quiet which is a plus. I was so happy to find an apartment that takes pets, I was able to keep my two furbabies. 10/10 would recommend.

Thank you for your review. We pride ourselves on providing great customer service and are so happy that was the experience you received! Welcome to Downing Apartments.
The Leasing Manager at Downing is professional and very efficient. I contacted the office in search of a 2 BDR, her demeanor was so welcoming and so inviting; unlike several other places in the area I had contacted. Obviously the end result was a rental. Excellent front office!
