The real story

Strong staff experience and downtown location drive satisfaction here, with most residents praising cleanliness, amenities, and the team at the leasing desk. Recent management transition to Greystar created friction: payment system changes, reduced office hours, persistent wifi outages in common spaces, and confusion over pet documentation have frustrated long-term residents, though core building quality and services remain solid.

Praised for
  • attentive front desk staff (Miranda, Payton)
  • clean facilities and quiet community
  • excellent amenities and location near downtown
  • walkable neighborhood with nearby trails and restaurants
Watch-outs
  • management transition and operational issues under new owner Greystar
  • limited visitor parking and slow elevators
  • community wifi outages and package center delays
  • poor appointment scheduling and disorganization

  • EV charging in resident garage and guest suite available for visitors (fee-based)
  • Community wifi outages in gym and office spaces reported 10+ times in two months post-transition

Common questions

Are pets allowed?
Yes. Their website lists pet-friendly apartments as a service; reviews mention ESA approval and dog residents, though post-Greystar transition documentation processing slowed from one month to over one month.
Is there parking for visitors?
Approximately 20 visitor parking spots available; reviewers note this is limited for the building size. A guest suite is available for visitors for a fee.
Can I work remotely here?
Yes. Large communal office space with silencing pods available, though community wifi in common spaces has been unreliable post-management transition (10+ outages reported in two months).

Firestone at West 7th

Staff at Firestone turn apartment hunting into a smooth, welcoming process. Lilly, Fi, Fiorella, and other team members spend time understanding what each prospective resident needs, respond quickly to work orders, and follow through after move-in. The location near West 7th's shops and restaurants matters to residents who value walkability. One reviewer flagged clustered five-star posts and fake accounts, noting that maintenance delivers but the front office sometimes drops the ball on issue resolution. Landscaping upkeep got mixed marks. Overall, this is a genuinely strong complex held up by attentive staff and a desirable neighborhood, though the recent review surge warrants a grain of salt.

The Henderson

Strong personal connections with staff drive some residents to move in and stay, while infrastructure neglect, unprofessional management, and billing disputes push others out swiftly. Praise centers on individual staff members (Linda, Jonetta Brooks, maintenance crew), but complaint reviews detail years of deferred upkeep, water damage, mold, pest issues, and frustrating charge disputes that dwarf the friendly service experience.
