Capitol Village - Lansing, MI Apartments

This is me and my parenters first apartment and we love it! Lots of room and incredibly spacious. If you can get past the front desk this place is a good place to live, surprisingly quite for the location and proximity to other renters. One weird thing about this place is every room has a slidding glass door.

Pros: Price. Maintenance guys are nice & try to fix things when they are allowed to. Secured laundry room.
Cons: Bad area, horrible management company, the woman who manages the property now is a horrible witch who doesn't care at all & is seriously rude, maintenence requests are sometimes fixed & sometimes not, pest problems including spiders, ants, & mice in the apartments and skunks in the neighborhood and they refuse to keep a steady pest control service, the buildings have been red tagged... by the city for eviction for more than a year, water heaters that they refuse to replace until they break all over your unit then take months to replace, cars broken into. Overall, a horrible place & not worth the price, hassle or horrible rude people in the leasing office. Read More

The good reviews, are probably from friends of the staff or people that work there....of course they are going to leave good reviews (don't believe them) Trouble started even before I moved in, and that should have been my clue to stay away. Didn't get the apartment originally promised, then someone else moved out unexpectably (wonder why) and then I got their apartment. The Lights flickered all the time, they moved it to a new breaker worked for a couple of months and then it was worse than... before. I would sit in the dark, as I thought the flickering would cause a fire. Was advised it would require the whole apartment to be rewired, which they were not about to do as it was too expensive. Ants live in the bottom of the kitchen cabinets, just disgusting. I'm a clean freak, so the fact that any ants or any type of rodents was just disgusting. Yeah, they require a deposit immediately but it's been over 6 weeks and still have not received any portion of my security deposit back. Staff was horrible to work with, but then they don't like when people complain about their service! Read More
