CMB Management

I got transferred to Ann Arbor and needed housing for 3 months while I looked for a new house and lived in Corner House. The management was terrific; kind and accommodating and helpful. They did everything they promised and more. They actually seemed to care that I had a good experience in their building.

Still awesome as ever. This company is efficient. They do a great job of informing us of time frame and troubles they are having. Just this morning they had a water heater go out. We received an email and were told they hoped to have it fixed by 1.30. It’s 11.30 now so that means they are getting on it straight away. Also, it’s the middle of the day so I doubt too many tenants are home and will probably not affect anyone. Never the less they are working quickly to get things back to normal.

I had an apartment with CMB several years ago, and worked with them again this year apartment hunting (it didn’t work out). I’ll say this: every time I move in to or out of another apartment, I recall with honest fondness the ease and clarity of communicating with CMB. They’re simply delightful people, and very good at what they do. While I perhaps wouldn’t have rated my apartment itself so highly, the management and office staff is by far the most pleasant and competent I’ve worked with in 5 years-​worth of Ann Arbor living.

I’ve lived at the Corner House apartments for 2 years now and I’d live here for another year if I wasn’t moving cities!
The management has been great. Every time I’ve emailed with a repair request, it’s been fixed within 1 – 2 days. CMB is very responsive. Another plus is that FedEx and UPS have keys to the outer apartment door, so even though there’s no one around to sign for packages, they will leave them in the lobby or outside your door — very convenient!
The building is fairly new and still feels nice. The carpet and furniture is «college friendly» — pretty nondescript, but in Ann Arbor it’s hard to expect otherwise.
One potential downside is that the rent seems to have been raised quite a bit. I renewed my lease at my initial rental price, but I think they’re charging $ 200 – 300 more a unit now, which seems a bit overpriced for what they’re providing. The tenants are mostly young college kids, so it can get a little rowdy, but I’ve rarely had trouble with noise. Sometimes on Saturday and Sunday mornings there’s evidence of undergrads in the form of trash in the common areas, but it’s always cleaned up quickly.
Overall, I’ve really enjoyed my time here. The management is nice and responsive, and you do feel like they care about the building and tenants. And the location is great!

I have consistently experienced the best residential support services of my life with CMB Property Management. The staff are friendly and helpful, and when my stove stopped working properly, they replaced it with a brand new one (rather than makin nickel and dime repairs). Anytime I have submitted a maintenance request I have received a prompt response. Whether it was changing light bulbs, replacing/​removing furniture, or servicing the plumbing and electricity, maintence quickly and thoroughly ensured that I have an optimal living environment. I intend to continue renting from CMB for the remainder of my years in Ann Arbor, and I strongly recommend their properties to all of the incoming graduate students looking for housing. In some ways, your property management company can make or break your living experience and with CMB, it’s all in the service. I couldn’t be happier!
