Property Ratings at MoDE
Just wanted to share some thoughts about Mode Apartments – you know, the good, the bad, and the straight-up real. When you take a tour of Mode Apartments, they dangle carrots in front of you to get you to bite – amenities, community events, technology and other perks. But the truth is, the hype doesn't match the reality. Amenities are often out of order or broken for multiple months without any update from management. In truth, Mode's management team is probably one of the worst experiences in the building. The management isn't proactive and waits for issues to arise before doing anything. I don't know what kind of "luxury living" management neglects residents' requests and concerns as much as Mode's. Yet this same management threatens to tow residents' cars if they park in the wrong spots - completely ignoring the fact that the building's garage barely works correctly. As other reviewers have mentioned, the building's retention rate is less than 50% which is terrible for a new-build. More than half of the residents have moved out after their lease or broken their lease. What's worse is that management had the gull to RAISE RENT 5% for all units. The building is a complete mess shortly after a fire that flooded all floors, and yet management believes it's entitled to even more compensation. Absolutely mind blowing. Don't be hypnotized by your building tour. Talk to the actual residents. I have not met a single resident in the building (including myself) that feels they're getting their money's worth in this building. Keep looking.

Hello, thank you for sharing your positive experience! Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you. Sincerely, Robert Ketchum Community Manager
The building and amenities are top-notch! Everything is brand new, incredibly clean and the quality is super high. The management team truly desires to provide the best experience for residents. They're all super friendly, incredibly helpful and they're focused building a warm, friendly community. I love the location, the vibe and my unit is absolutely stunning. I did experience some minor hiccups / slips in communication during the leasing process. I think this simply because I was dealing w a new team just starting to lease in a brand new building. I was able to work through this with the team and they made it right. To me, 'making a situation right' is always what matters the most when it comes to customer service. Because of all these reasons, I highly recommend Mode!

I took a tour of Mode today and the views from the rooftop are stunning. Thank you Donald for the tour and for being so friendly.

Hi there, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! We hope to be of service to you again in the future. Sincerely, Robert Ketchum Community Manager
Overall not the best experience. Actually moving in was smooth, the after was not so much. However, Donald and Walker have been absolutely AMAZING. AC not working for a week and not being able to get in and out of the garage was not any one person’s fault. And they made it better by providing a portable AC unit and replaced my RFID reader sticker 3 times after not being able to get out to go to work. But, there seems to be a huge lack of communication between them and Robert. Who offered me a free dinner delivered and one month garage fee credit.

Hi, we regret to hear that you had a negative experience with us, but appreciated the chance to turn your experience around. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we can improve. We hope to exceed your expectations in the future. Sincerely, Robert Ketchum Community Manager
Mode is beyond apartment living - from numerous concierge services to smart home technology within the apartment integrated with super fast building wide wifi. It’s located within walking distance of great restaurants, grocery stores, etc. As a previous homeowner, I am looking forward to leaving the yard work and maintenance headaches to someone else and enjoying the extra free time.
