I've been a resident for nearly two years, and from a cleanliness standpoint, this apartment is literally the most disgusting I've experienced. On an average day, housing projects are cleaner than the Glenwood. Management is typically dismissive and seems to want to do as little as possible, which I understand is common with profit-driven apartment companies. But they have a cleaning crew, or at least I see them sometimes, and mopping occasionally. It's hard to tell if they don't really clean, lack proper oversight, or just don't clean often enough. The lobby has mail strewn across the entrance table, and the trash can is always full. The doors are constantly dirty and grimy, and when they're mopped it's as though they use the dirt already there as the cleaning solution. The elevator is a stinky nightmare. I feel like I need to stay in one corner because all kinds of fluid and black globs of stuff litter the floor. Half the time, the walls look smeared with cooking grease. The carpets are so dirty they're discolored. I hear a vacuum now and then, but I've seen particles in my hallway both before and after vacuuming. The mail room looks like a home invasion, and again, the floors never get mopped. The apartment feels like a slum, and it really shouldn't. I'd rather they lower our rent and stop cleaning altogether than pretend to clean by smearing dirt around the complex. I think the main issue is that property management isn't holding janitorial services accountable. This definitely doesn't feel like Brewerytown. This is my review for now. If things change, I can change it.

I recommended this place to a close relative and regret it immensely. They were SO strange, and I have no idea why. They seemed nice, but I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone else. Quite a few of the units are definitely Airbnbs, if that bothers you. As we were leaving, we asked several strangers passing through whether they lived there, and they all said no.
The building is nice, clean, and safe. The management team was a pleasure to deal with, responsive and competent.
We’re extending our lease because this is a nice place in a decent neighborhood for a great price. The apartment looked brand new when we moved in, and the roof deck has a great view. A few months later we had a small plumbing issue, and management took care of it quickly.
The apartment and gym were both great once we could get into them. We were fortunate that our entry codes worked, but we saw other people stuck outside the locked door waiting for help four times in two days. It seemed to happen pretty often. Our key fob also wouldn’t open the gym, and we couldn’t get a replacement during our stay. Really disappointing.
