Studios @ 270 Apartments - Hartford, Connecticut

Kiedra T.

I lived in one of the spacious Studios @ 270 for two years. It was definitely cost effective for me since I'm a student trying to stretch her dollar. The walls are a bit thin and I did have a 20 to 25 minute drive to school in the mornings--it's only 15 minutes outside of rush hour traffic. However, I didn't mind the few extra minutes drive to the UConn Storrs campus because I was saving money by living here. The rent includes heat, parking, and wifi--which I didn't have a problem with. These are all amenities that cost extra in other places that I considered. There's onsite laundry, a small gym, and a meditation room, all of which were clean every time I used them. The building manager was always respectful and responded to my maintenance requests the same day.She was very accommodating. From the day the building opened, Laura worked to keep the building safe while adding conveniences that made this a great bargain for me. Since my unit faced the street, I could look forward to a beautiful sunset. And It was fun to decorate! If not for my needing a bigger place because my parter is moving in, I most likely would have stayed a little longer.

Its really hard to get in touch with someone regarding leasing. They were quick to show the units but slow to respond after taking my money. This place took my $50 and said they'd get back to me and I'm still waiting, going on 2 weeks. No calls or emails, very unprofessional. I'm not even interesting in leasing with this place anymore.

The place has so much potential but it was nice while it lasted. The tenants are able to leave their TRASH BAGS anywhere with no reprimand and starting to see vermin from the laundry rooms to the halls. The vermin is fairly recent but not a shock with the way things are running now. Since the old property manager left, the place has gone completely downhill. I can’t even get packages here anymore because they are being stolen before I can make it down the stairs.

Thin walls. Originally, there was a parking bar gating entry to the parking lot but it isn't there anymore. Quite a lot of people like to smoke in their apartments and play their music loudly all day. While I lived there, the elevator constantly broke down. The neighborhood is pretty bad as well.

Ultimately, I think it was okay to live short term, but I can only call it a starter apartment until you find something better. Too difficult to call it a home in any sense.

Taking all that into account, my review would have been higher if something tangible could have been down about package thieves. The amount of items I had stolen while I lived here was substantial and yet the situation never seemed to improve. I was forced to get a PO box for my packages instead.

i currently live here and this management is horrendous. literally no one ever answers calls nor gets back to your messages. MULTIPLE packages of mine have been stolen, multiple! even calling in regards to those to get some help you get no response. I even tried to call to get my wifi which was claimed to be an amenity but you guessed it, NO response!!

but oh how responsive they were and quick to get me a lease and tour within a week because i desperately needed to find a space for school.

if i could give -5 five stars i would.

Unprofessional property management company. They do not respond to phone calls or emails. Most tenants are respectful of the property others leave BAGS of trash in the halls way & it will not be removed for DAYS! Tenants would leave trash outside the dumpster, in the parking spaces. The cleaning team are polite but is understaffed for this size properly.(it’s 2 ppl)
This is a very urban area and the building is not secure. Cameras are installed but when there was an incident that happens early 2023; a tenant was told the cameras weren’t recording. There is theft in this building from other tenants & from individuals that do not live in the building & entered unauthorized & stole.
There is no sense of community or appreciation from the management company. The entrance gate is nonfunctional half of the time, the elevator is out of service at lest 3 times EACH MONTH.
The cost of the units do not reflect the neighborhood it’s in. If you need something quick; this property may work for you

Have lived here for a year. The building is well maintained, the apartments are basically new. No bugs, or mice or anything weird you might get at other places. Besides our neighbor who was loud. (They moved out) the building is pretty quiet for the most part! Secure entry and your mail will never get stolen or packages, all go things! Would recommend.

Beautiful studios but the property manager didn't even attempt to work with me, I have at least three emails where she would disregard my questions and when I initially sent my application I went from being denied in only three minutes to I need to fix something on my application. I wrote reviews on other platforms but they seemed to "spontaneously" disappear. She would tell me one thing then the next time we talked it was completely different, wish there was someone else I could talk to for clarification.
update- Thanks for never answering my questions Laura please don't try to flip it. Have a blessed day.
