Affordable Nice Safe

Pick one

I currently live at 800 South with Elevate student living. It's been one of my worst experiences living with an apartment my whole life. The management can be passive aggressive, they often don't pick up the phone, they're not very helpful and they can be dismissive of concerns. Also the street that 800 South is on is not a safe street. This is my 3rd school year living at this location and there have been 4 shootings so far. Last summer, I went home to visit family. I came back to Springfield and found bullets in my living room floor. We called the cops and the officer who came by told us that Elevate does not work with SPD and that there's even a detective who is assigned to "monitor" what's happening on Robberson Ave.

This past Christmas and New Years, I was gone again. I came back and found out there was another shooting on the same street. Elevate did not notify their residents, because they thought that since everyone is gone, they wouldn't want us to know that it had happened!

Another complaint I have is regarding package delivery, etc. I've had packages delivered by Amazon, UPS, USPS and FedEx stolen. A lot of my neighbors have also complained that their packages get stolen too. I've also 2 bikes stolen, which is even more infuriating, because the bike rack is behind the gated area and somehow they were still stolen. (the two bikes were worth around $300 each)

Anyway, OP, if you want to chat more, feel free to DM me.

I'm Asian too. I only get my hair done anytime my bf and I go visit his family in Chicago. So i hear you, OP.
