Onsite management doesn't take care of issues. Additional charges on utilities bill without previous notice. I have been waiting for 13 months for mgmt to fixed kitchen drawers. Gym ceiling fans and lights are out. Cleaning is awful, hallways and elevators are filthy. Onsite management doesn't reply to emails. Stay away from this bldg. BTW the mgmt only replies to good reviews the bad ones are ignored.

Fantastic Place to Live, Wonderful Front Office Team
I would highly recommend living at The Desota! The units are bright, spacious, and modern, the amenities are fantastic, the maintenance team is professional and prompt, and the entire building is clean and beautiful. More than anything, the management team is just wonderful. They are warm, kind, and helpful, and they ensure that everyone living here feels at-home. This is all-around a wonderful community!

Lovely, but rents went up 20-30% this year.
A 2-bedroom now costs the same as a $1,250,000 mortgage.
They don’t give you the option of taking out a long lease to keep your rent stable, so it’s impossible to make this place your long-term home.
Most people can’t afford huge rent increases each year, so everyone is dreading having to go through the hassle and expense of moving out when their current lease expires, which makes it hard to enjoy the place while you are here.
Consequently, it now seems to be mostly used by people who only... need somewhere short-term until they find a permanent home. Unfortunately, that means it feels more like a hotel than a residential building, with people partying like they are on vacation and not respecting the facilities or other residents.
It's such a shame, because the apartments are great, the facilities are good, the location can’t be beaten, and all the on-site management and staff are brilliant.

A wonderful welcoming and caring downtown place to live.
Congratulations are due to the new owners and new management of the DeSota apartments. Prior to their acquisition the only nice thing to be heard about the DeSota was that it was close to Whole Foods. Now, people who have lived their under both owners and management including myself and my wife speak highly of the DeSota as the New management Realizes that rental tenants want to feel good about where they live and that any concerns they might have will be dealt with. The DeSota is now living... up to its potential and has become a wonderful downtown place to call home.

Rules are NOT Enforced!
I have been living at the DeSOTA for a year and I can't wait to get out of this place! Massive amount of "BIG" dogs living in an apartment setting peeing and pooping EVERYWHERE! I feel sorry for the dogs! NO Guest parking. Really?? Was told by management at move in that they would work it out when I originally moved in. LIARS! Rules are not enforced and everybody does whatever they what! Don't expect to get any sleep living in this building! OH, did I mention that dogs and people with... bare sweaty feet (working out)are allowed in the gym! How sanitary is that??
