    I love the location and how the staff/the management values the needs of the tenants. Underground plus plenty of street parking.

    I love it here the staff is great

    4.5/5 Leslie on Jan 4, 2023

    I moved in three months ago. I am very comfortable with the place. It suits my needs perfectly. I need a quiet place to sleep as I have insomnia. Even the street noise is easily cut down with an air purifier turned up to high. The residents and staff are friendly, but not intrusive. Gossipy troublemakers have been a common problem in some apartments I have fled before. These people all seem to be about their lives and business and goals. There is a healthy vibe to living here. The units are on the small side, but very well designed. I have been able to arrange my small space into a functional sleeping/working space. And that is a good thing because we have had a lot of snow days this winter. There is an indoor package delivery and mailbox area so packages are secured from box thieves. I did a lot of reconnaissance work and found a hidden gem in these troubled times. It was one of the smartest moves I have ever made.

    5/5 Gerry M. on Dec 16, 2024

    I have lived her 14 months and do not have any complaints. I grew up in this neighborhood and love it. This is a very clean building with a great property manager in Kelli and Ciprion (?sp) the maintenance person, Deloris and Tommy the cleaning staff. A lot if not most of the residents are from the West End and we really do have a community feeling here. I highly recommend Osceola Place.

    The place is only as good as its tenants, and maintenance staff. Both are good enough, but the age of the building will only present more challenges. Raising rent rates and laundry might seem like a good idea, given the economic climate, but it also comes across as a bit tone def to your tenants. I expect that you will keep pushing that boundary in the name of profits. We'll see how that works out for everyone. Kudos for the low electric bills, though, for the time being. Overall it is great place to live, and I, for one, will continue to keep it that way.
