I have very much enjoyed living in this apartment for the last 3 years. Every time I needed something, help was there by the next business day. The neighborhood of Sedgefield is so quite and cute! I would highly recommend to anyone. :)

The management company does not return calls. They are beyond rude in every interaction, especially Alexis who told me no one worked last week for the holiday. I moved out in July and still have yet to have my issue resolved.

I am writing this review based off an experience I had speaking with a Marsh Property office manager by the name of Candus. My vehicle was hit by a rock projected from one of their workers driving a riding lawn mower. I was given her contact information by the worker who was very pleasant and apologetic. My initial conversation advising her of the incident she was extremely rude and nasty. Every conversation after that was the same, her disposition is not customer friendly or professional. Candus gave me misleading information about how the damages to my vehicle would be taken care of. I had to

I had an absolutely wonderful experience during my time at the Elmhurst townhomes. The neighborhood is very family friendly, the property is in walking distance of restaurants in South End, and is in view of Uptown. The units are well-kept and if you happen to experience any issues, maintenance is highly responsive and prompt. On top of everything, the staff goes above and beyond for you. Everyone I worked with in the office was extremely kind and helpful. I highly recommend the Elmhurst townhomes to anyone looking in the area!
