Excellent Maintenance Staff

Writing this review to thank Dale for his excellent service to our apartment. He always completes our maintenance requests efficiently and helps out when we have issues. We've had several issues that he's helped out with including a broken fridge, faulty drains, AC, ventilation issues, and he's been great.

Unhappy with Theory

They don't have enough staff to deliver the mail, or to fulfill maintenance requests and they don't have enough visitor parking passes, yet they can find the time to put a boot on a visitor that stayed one night when there were ample parking spaces and no offsite parking anywhere. Nice little 80 dollar fee.

It's Fine...

There are some positives to living in Theory, but I would definitely consider drawbacks before signing a lease. On the positive, the pool and gym areas are pretty nice, guest parking is available, and the beds are big. However, the staff is extremely slow to get to any maintenance requests, if at all. There is an AI chatbot that answers the phone and replies to texts most of the time. It's honestly extremely frustrating. I would not tell you not to live here necessarily, but if I could pick again, I would move literally anywhere else in the area. Otherwise, the place is nice, although there are some bugs, especially on the lower floors. I also did not realize the trash policy when I moved in. The hallways smell like garbage. This is probably my least favorite thing about living here. If they change the trash policy (keeping your garbage cans in the hallways every evening), maybe it would be better. If not, you will definitely need something strongly scented for your apartment.
