42 West Apartments

Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
The management is completely awful. I mean downright awful. The walls are so thin that you can hear full conversations happening. Packages get lost and or stolen all the time. Not to mention, I've talked to several other residents, former and current, who say they were either tricked into signing or just given a really bad deal overall. Look around and you will find things that are a lot more affordable for better quality and run by people who actually... care. When I moved here, I spent a lot of nights crying over the bad decision I made. Thankfully, it's no longer an issue for me. Don't be fooled. It's not a nice place to live and the people behind it will absolutely leave you hanging. Not disgruntled or angry, I just want to warn people in the way I wish someone had warned me. Don't move here. Good luck. Read More

This complex is branded is if its a luxury spot, but is anything, but. It's extremely overpriced for what you get and aesthetically, it leaves a ton to be desired. Parking is a disaster. There's limited space, then expensive garages are blocked by people who don't follow the rules, which aren't enforced. The walls are paper thin. You can hear phone calls, conversation, etc. from your neighbors unit. Trash is often left to pile up along the dumpsters.
They will only be nice to you when you are... going through the onboarding process. Once you make the mistake of signing on, you are given the cold shoulder and avoided. The package system is chaotic, and on top of that, there's a real problem when it comes to maintaining a sense of class or any kind of standard within the property community. You will be rushed into signing a lease and won't be able to think clearly, but I admonish you to do your research and find something else. The price for what you get, is nothing short of an insult.

I rented here because I liked the location and apartment unit, but I have found the people are the best part of living here. My neighbors are friendly and the staff is cheerful and helpful, going out of their way to make the place home. I highly recommend 42 West.

We recently moved out and thankfully we did. We hated every minute of living there. You can hear everything that goes on in the other apartments, and I mean everything. It's never quiet, between hearing doors slamming, cabinets slamming, pounding on walls, neighbors stomping around, people yelling in the hallways, kids screaming, late night parties, and everything else.... Living there was a total nightmare! The hallways are filthy dirty and constantly smell like smoke. Neighbors are always... smoking cigarettes and pot, which blew right into our unit and filled our apartment with smoke. My husband and I were constantly getting dizzy and headaches from all the pot and cigarette smoke. They moved us into a unit with pretty much everything already broken. Management is the worst, they didn't even respond to complaints. Village Green doesn't care about their tenants at all. In fact, my husband called corporate multiple times and they never even responded. They couldn't keep an employee in the office for more than a few weeks it seemed, there are always new property managers coming and going. There was some super shady characters that were always driving driving through the parking lot, I didn't feel safe going outside by myself at night. And seriously, who builds a new building without an elevator, or at least a freight elevator? We had family in from out of town a few times who couldn't even visit, because they couldn't walk all the stairs. Way overpriced, severely mismanaged, loud, smoky, and not worth the money at all.

The management here is very friendly and the amenities are amazing! Apartment is very good looking as well. Unfortunately my roommate and I have to leave early due to a job relocation. Very disappointing because this place has ideal location to downtown Detroit, Royal Oak or other surrounding cities. LOVE the kitchen and tall ceilings, plus a heated garage for the Michigan winters, 10/10 would recommend.
