Amazing front desk staff!
Recently I was in a real bind and needed to find a place to live quickly. Where I had set up to live is a new build and my apartment wasn't ready on the day my lease was supposed to start.
I was feeling very anxious about this so I contacted Michelle at Inspire and she was super kind. She listened to my story and she was very helpful in finding me a great apartment at an excellent rent. Inspire is one of the only places downtown that has a hot tub and the square footage of their places is amazing.
While I didn't end up renting at Inspire, knowing that I had a 2nd choice made me feel safe and calm. Also, it gave me the ammunition I needed to be able to go back to the first place and tell them that if they didn't give me what I wanted, I wasn't going to move in there. Michelle set me up for success and I just wanted her to know that I really appreciated everything she did for me.

Recently I encountered a snafu with the online payment of rent. This caused several miscommunications, mostly on my part
I didn't handle the situation as well as I should have and caused some bad feelings. Luckily for me the entire staff handled the situation with poise, politeness and professionalism. All this to say many thanks from an apologetic and grateful tenant.

I toured Inspire Downtown with Michelle…and it was wonderful! She is professional, knowledgeable, and warm…that had me submit an application within one (1) day. The move was seamless for me and the moving crew. Inspire Downtown is home now, and the decision to be a part of this community was because of Michelle and Inspire staff.

My experience apartment shopping here was extremely disappointing, primarily due to the leasing manager, Michelle. It's baffling how someone with such a lack of professionalism holds a management position. She was consistently disrespectful, unkind, and spoke to customers in a rude and snarky manner. Each interaction left me feeling belittled by her arrogant and condescending attitude. Despite my love for the location, I ultimately decided to choose a different property downtown because I couldn’t imagine dealing with her any longer.

I have lived here for 1 years.
Overall a great apartment for the price and location.
Good things:
High rise apartment means concrete walls and floors. I can't hear my neighbors.
The pool and espresso machine are great.
Lots of elevators. When they break, they are fixed by the end of the day.
Great location. Walking distance from everything or a quick Uber.
Friendly neighbors.
Maintenance responds to requests in a day or 2.
Lots of police patrolling the area.
The apartment is high quality and not cheaply put together.
Social events planned by the apartment every other month or so.
They shampoo the hallway carpets regularly. Theu maintain the building well.
Cons:
The move in can be a pain. You have to reserve the freight elevator well in advance .
Don't answer the phone reliably. You'll need to walk to the office or send an email.
Parking can be confusing for guests.
There was a package thief that was caught by the police.
Homeless people in the neighboring park and on the sidewalk. They have never given me any problems, but they can be intimidating. There is usually police in the area. I called them once and they responded within 1 minute.
The dog run is small and gross. I don't know how people let there dogs go there.
Gym is too small for more than 2 people. I go to Gold's gym.

Briefly had a lease from Jan until April in 2023.
The apartment was a 2 bedroom 2 baths facing the hospital. It was very spacious around 1300-1400 SQ ft, concrete floors, highly insulated from noises. Management was up to date with maintenance. I'm giving it a 3 for a couple of reasons, I felt that the appliances could be updated. They would make random rules such as not having a rug on the outside, but then when my roommate stayed after I left they allowed it. One time someone was parked in my spot, I asked them to remove the person and they didn't do anything since I was moving out. Then they had put a random fee on my account. I had to finished my lease early due to some unfortunate events and then their system placed me as if I had stopped paying and was trying to charge me 32k. Although this mistake was later sorted out.

I love living at Inspire Downtown! It is so convenient having everything right here at the tip of my fingers. There is always something to do downtown. My apartment is so unique and I love my view. The management is so nice and helpful. Tammie and Michelle are so understanding and make you feel like you matter! Parking garage is a plus and free coffee!

I toured the Inspire Downtown apartments the other day with Michelle! Her and the entire Inspire Team were so welcoming and very knowledgeable over the area at Inspire Downtown! Overall the apartment was perfect for what I was looking for and the grounds are so well kept. Highly recommend this place! Looking forward to moving in!

The Inspire costs more than what it’s worth. The amenities are excellent but the management is looking to get every penny out of you. It has especially gone downhill under Grey Star management.The late fees are the max they are legally allowed to be (10% of your rent), so expect a $200+ late fee if you happen to be late that month.

You have to accept several caveats living in any apartment complex and especially downtown in pretty much any American city, so there are several caveats that apply and I'm not judging Inspire based on those factors since they apply to all of the options a person might consider in the area.Check reviews for other apartment complexes in the area and you'll see numerous horror stories, constant car thefts and such. While there's really no 100% perfect solution to this problem, I believe Inspire's parking garage is the most secure of the options: since it's also public parking it requires payment to leave the garage or you're gated in, making actual car thefts very difficult. Reserved parking is behind another gate on the 5th floor that requires fob access for an extra level of security--thought this is pretty easy to bypass if someone is determined, like most security.Cops won't care about your car break-in if it happens anywhere, even if you have proof or security camera footage, that's just not how the system works; they have bigger fish to fry, or not fry as it were. Break-ins and thefts of items from inside your car are still possible of course but even full-time security presence doesn't really deter this in my experience.Don't leave anything of value where you can see it through your car windows. It's just the nature of downtown living in a country that doesn't provide safety nets for mental illness, addiction, and the unhoused population but makes guns cheap and plentiful for all. Yeehaw.The leasing office people are professional and quick to resolve issues. Maintenance is wonderful and fast.Street noise is pretty chill for a downtown but it's there. People are going to have fun at the roof-deck pool and play music. Anyone complaining about noise but chooses to live downtown should probably re-evaluate living anywhere downtown.Location is great, especially with the recently finished improvements to the San Pedro Creek Linear Park and with the Alameda Theater soon to re-open. Highly walkable.The downsides essentially are stuff the complex and staff can't do much about and will be just as bad or worse in other downtown apartment complexes. The rest is good and pretty high quality across the board.If you have realistic expectations, this is a solid choice.

the only reason for the 1 star is the fee-scamming host KrashzLLC terrible that the apartment complex is affiliated with this scamming Airbnb host.
