    5/5 O. O. on Mar 22, 2024

    The apartment is nice, clean, well-sized and the gated entry is a nice bonus for extra security. I would highly recommend this apartment if you're moving to the Memphis area.

    My initial correspondence was with Sarah who is the On-Site Manager. She was more than responsive, she had remembered the type of apartment I was looking for and worked hard to make that happen for me. She has a very apparent commitment to excellence. Alexa is the Leasing Professional there. She gave me a tour and answered an annoying amount of questions of mine with a lot of patience and tact. The bldg maintenance engineer there is named Chris. He is friendly and clean cut. Only one of the two elevators was working when I moved in but they got that fixed quickly. My unit was clean with a new paint job. Absolutely great location with wonderful views of the captial or sounds stadium/views of the hill country north of town, depending which side of the bldg you're on. Better than the average apartment gym and laundry room. I do a lot of online shopping and have had issues with apartments misplacing my deliveries before but haven't had that issue here. I don't pay extra for parking and haven't had any issues finding parking so far.

    5/5 Lashonia H. on Apr 1, 2024

    Renewing my lease at 500 Fifth Apartments marks not just a continuation of residency but a celebration of the positive transformations and improvements that have unfolded over the past year. As I reflect on my decision to extend my stay, it’s evident that the changes implemented by the management team have significantly contributed to enhancing the overall living experience within the community. One of the most noticeable improvements since my initial move-in is the management team’s heightened responsiveness and dedication to addressing the needs of residents. Whether it’s a minor maintenance issue or a more significant concern, the management at 500 Fifth Apartments has consistently demonstrated a commitment to prompt resolution, ensuring that the living environment remains comfortable and well-maintained. I would love for management to organize regular social events and activities, providing opportunities for residents to connect, engage, and build meaningful relationships with one another. These gatherings have not only enriched my social life but have also contributed to a sense of belonging and connectedness within the community. As I look ahead to another year at 500 Fifth Apartments, I do so with excitement and confidence, knowing that I am part of a vibrant and thriving community that prioritizes the well-being and satisfaction of its residents. The decision to renew my lease was an easy one, as the positive changes and improvements made by the management team have truly enhanced my living experience. Thanks to Sarah, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue calling 500 Fifth Apartments my home and look forward to the experiences and memories that lie ahead.

    I have lived here for 15 years. The apartments have been well kept even with the different management changes during the years. I like the location and that it is a peaceful place.

    Office is very friendly and personable. They get back to you in a timely manner. Maintenance is great. Id recommend living here to any of my friends.

    coming upon 3 years. The apartments have seen better days. Its not well kept or maintained. Building need gutters replacing and vinyl siding is disgusting. mold covering entire stair case, and back building being ignore entirly! NOISE is a PROBLEM!!! Kids outside at really late,and really early mornings. NO PARKING due to multiple extra parked cars. I was givin a broke refridge when I transfer apartments and STILL have not had it adressed or changed out. Thats a really long back order.
