I've been living at The Versailles Apts for almost 19 years. And I'm a satisfied resident. I have a good rapport with the staff. And Hyde Park is a convenient community to live in. I would definitely recommend The Versailles Apts as a good place to live.

I've been here 2.5 years and, if it wasn't a great location for my work, I probably wouldn't be here. I had 3 different incidents where my ceiling flooded in my first unit in the building and it took a month of talking to multiple property managers (there have been 4+ since I've been here) to finally get me moved into a new unit. I even had to fight to get free movers and ensure my rent would not go up for moving in a new unit. I also had to reapply just to live in my current unit - there was no guarantee they would save a unit for me despite having multiple plumbing issues that were not my fault. This was also after I showed pictures of mold growing in the bad plaster patch jobs and being told that it was common for that to happen. Additionally, both elevators were broken for a few months and there were not regular updates on when they would be fixed. One is still broken over half a year later and there's no update on when that will be accessible to tenants either. The building is very old and it shows that TLC has not put a lot of care in trying to update reoccurring issues - it's only patch jobs. I know landlords are what they are - good luck finding a real gem - but this has been ridiculous at times.

Next year will be my 19th year residing at the Versailles. I'm a satisfied tenant and would recommend the Versailles to my family and friends to live.
