In the spirit of transparency, I don't live here, but my son has lived here for two school years, and I'm a guarantor on the lease. The first year was just okay. The second year has been a nightmare. There have been two leaks in the ceiling, the second occurring tonight, Friday, December 11, 2020. My son's roommate contacted me, asking if I could help get the emergency maintenance number, but the person who recorded it apparently doesn't know how to use a phone, as the number is garbled. The roommate walked over to the ... read more

Business response:

Andy, we want to deeply apologize firstly for the inconveniences your son and his roommates had over the week/weekend concerning the roof. While we're glad to have had maintenance come by to repair the roof/leak, we understand that lingering concerns are present and want to establish a path of reconciliation together. Our general manager Alvaro has just attempted a phone call but understandably Monday mornings can be difficult to find time. He's also sent an email to you from his azaragoza@livethespoke.com email address, and... read more

We love our apartment here, very cozy and the outdoor space is amazing especially for the pup! The staff is always extremely accommodating and friendly, feels like home! Also in a great area, feels safe and close to campus/town! There was a couple issues upon move in similar to the other reviews here but it is my understanding that management switched right before I moved in and honestly they have been extremely helpful and found solutions to everything in a timely manner. The amenities are great, pools have new furniture an... read more

Business response:

From the top to the bottom, an excellent summary of your life here at The Spoke, Lainey. Thanks for detailing everything you've been able to experience here with us, from the rocky beginnings to the stellar months since.

Terrible apartment complex that preys on students. Unwilling to release students from current or future lease during Covid. Raised the rent and furniture charges for school year 2020-2021 during Covid. No ability to choose your actual apartment which bears little resemblance to the model that you are shown. Much older, dirtier, and more worn out than than pictures or model indicates. Not disclosed up front is the very deceptive and unusual way utilities are charged. Residents have no control over their utilities as the char... read more

Do not live here! RIP OFF! Let me start off by saying when my bf and I wanted to live together in 2018 they (Stephanie Fuhks) said they would charge "per bed" aka PER PERSON. So that means that we would pay extra rent because of an extra person...even though we were going to share the same bed. How ridiculous is that? I have a feeling that's how they found the loophole of not being able to raise rent a certain percentage per year. As if that wasn't enough they charge $25 per month to park in the complex, if you dont pay good... read more

Business response:

Hey Priscila, thanks for stopping by our Yelp page to leave your feedback about your Spoke experience. It's clear that the financials of The Spoke haven't been thoroughly or properly explained to you and we'd love the chance to make that right a.s.a.p. From the competitive pricing in the area, the monthly installments that are incurred from the start of your lease to the end, to the parking costs and their necessity, we want to be certain you understand the full breakdown of your charges. Stop in and ask Alvaro to chat with ... read more

WORST APARTMENT EVER....... i'D GIVE THIS PLACE NO STARS IF IT WAS POSSIBLE Honestly one of the worst places to ever decide to live at. Don't let the show room or model room fool you. I definitely do not recommend it for many reasons. From the first day, we moved in my roommate and I have been facing difficulties and issues. They charge you for the full month of September when the move-in date is September 16. ". First, the apartment was completely dirty and had so much damage. We found leftover food in the cabinets and dirt... read more

Business response:

Hey Nora, thank you for your feedback here and for illustrating what has impacted you the most here at The Spoke. Our intention is to never let stories like this go unheard, and much less to let them go unaddressed and acted upon. If you have some time this week, our general manager Alvaro would greatly appreciate the chance to review this content with you, and talk about a strategy for improving your time with us. We hope to see you soon and to accommodate a better future at The Spoke for you together.

This is possibly one of the worst places you can live. I definitely do not recommend for many reasons. From the first day we moved in my roommate and I have been facing issues here. They charge you for the full month of september when the move in date is september 16. Each person living in the apartment is supposed to receive their own set of keys but my roommate didn't get hers until about a week after we moved in because it "wasn't ready". First the apartment was completely dirty and had so much damage. We found leftover f... read more

THE SPOKE HAS NO BIKERACKS. My gf lives in the front near the leasing office and the nearest bike rack is a football field away. And if you use the rack near the leasing office you'll get a nasty letter. There's also loose cement at the top of the stares so good change this place is gonna get sued when someone slips 

Business response:

Thank you for leaving us a review about your concerns, Casper. Allow us to explain, but also feel free to stop in and we show you where we have all the bike racks located. The bike racks are located in every section of our complex, though it may not be right next to this persons unit but it will still be in their section (A if next to the office). The rack next to the office doors is for future residents to use when they visit the property, and is marked as such; we have many visitors use bikes to visit the property, so this... read more

Although I completely understand (and don't disagree) to the one-star reviews before me, I decided to give this place 3 stars. The location of the complex is conveniently located at waking distance from Downtown. Unfortunately it is also right next to the railroad tracks, which is particularly noisy if your apartment is on that side. The complex is old, but reasonably well maintained and clean. Currently they are making updates, but these are mainly cosmetic and don't improve much to the quality of the common spaces or your ... read more

Business response:

Thank you for such a concise review of your pros and cons, Sabine. We greatly appreciate the feedback, and would be more than happy to discuss it with you in office if you have some time! We know there has been some work order history with your heater, as well as your conversation with Erin regarding the renewal/fees, but we'd love the chance to provide a more thorough forum to improve your Spoke experience. Our general manager Tassion can be reached by calling our leasing office, or emailing tcallanan@livethespoke.com. Than... read more

This apartment complex is the worst place I have ever lived in. Not only is the management unorganized and chaotic, but the infrastructure of the buildings are extremely poor. Thin walls, creaky floors, and lack of updates have made this place the worst facility I have ever experienced. My roommates and I didn't have an outdoor gate and due to managements lack of care and empathy we experienced theft. This place used to be called Greenleaf and considering the name change a lawsuit must have been filed. You will not get your ... read more
