The Pavilion Apartments

I have lived at the Pavilion for a year now, and so far, I have no major complaints. I live in a one bedroom apartment, and I really enjoy that the Pavilion offers track lighting and stainless steel appliances. It seems to give the place a more high end feel. However, you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for it. The access to major highways is very convenient. You’re right next to 364 and just a hop, skip, and a jump away from 270, 40, and 141. It’s also nice being close to Creve Coeur Lake.
On the negatives, kitchen cabinet space is limited. You have to get creative here. A bachelor that doesn’t do much cooking won’t have any problems, but it can be a challenge finding a place to store your groceries, wine glasses, and that crock pot. I did experience a problem with brown recluse spiders. However, I brought it to management’s attention that day, and they sent someone out on Friday to take care of it. I haven’t seen another one since. Overall, management has been very responsive. I frequently see maintenance guys on the grounds doing repairs, and it’s obvious that they do their best to keep the place in tip top shape.
My bedroom faces the parking lot, and when I first moved in, I noticed a LOT of noise from people coming home late at night (past midnight) and making more noise than they should. I’m not sure if I’ve gotten used to this, but I haven’t noticed it as much recently. However, I have noticed that patrol cars will drive through the parking lot periodically. I assume just to make sure everything is in order.
All in all, no major complaints. This really is a safe complex to live in. Management is responsive, and the location is very convenient.

Granted our current state of affairs, I think, my term of residence here in Maryland Heights is a positive one. Everyone here is very nice and helpful. The maintenance team has been extremely courteous even and I really can’t complain much to start with.
It is very refreshing to be able to live in a strong, growing community. All the leasing consultants are more than pleasant and extremely informative. Smiles. Also, the main leasing office décor is a nice classic environment. Here’s hoping the property remains easy on construction!
The landscaping here makes for a healthy atmosphere suitable for all ages, and my compliments to the security. I have found it to be discouraging in general the percentage increase from realtors. With concern to any property damage I only know about preserving what’s good and believe in change for the better!
My thanks again to Maryland Heights and wishing for all only the very best in life and dreams.

Terrible place to live! I wish I could give it a lower score. Our apartment had two major leaks that flooded the hallway to the bathroom and it took multiple visits and over a month to fix. Called to complain and get compensated for the issues and never got calls back even tho maintenance assured us we would hear from someone. We developed black mold from all the water damage and they told us that was impossible.
Worse and worse people kept moving in too. Hoosiers fighting and screaming, people who don’t clean up after their dogs and even almost got attacked by neighbors dog when she opened her door to let it out. On top of all of that we had cracks in our walls that let cockroaches and other bugs in all the time and we were clean never left food out! They claimed they sprayed for bugs but it never helped. That place is disgusting dont live there!

If I could, I’d give this place negative stars. My neighbor screamed at her boyfriend on a daily basis like she was being murdered and I swore my upstairs neighbor was beating his girlfriend.
The maintenance was horrible. I kept having the same problem fixed multiple times and it could only be ‘fixed’ while I was at work. I seriously believe they were probably drinking my beer and watching tv. They would leave their equipment in my place for days. And the office staff was rude and never really cared to hear about your problems. Forget using their laundry room too. No offense, but it’s occupied ²⁴⁄₇ by Mexican families that have 50 loads of laundry to do. Don’t waste your time and $$

I’ve noticed that the reviews on here were slightly out-​dated, so I will take it upon myself to go ahead and update some opinions. Moving here from Houston, there are a few differences in apartments buildings that I noticed on my search. Such as enclosed buildings with only one entrance and basement storage nits. And that is definitely something I’m not used to. The Pavilion Apartments are somewhat more accustomed to what I am used to. Well, let me begin by saying that these apartments offer great amenities, from a huge laundry mat, a great clubhouse with wifi and pool tables to my favorite the free weekly yoga and Zumba classes. That was the winning factor for myself and my husband when we were deciding on which apartment to live at. They also have a very impressive theater room, a meeting room, a business center a fitness center and free wifi. I personally do no like not having a washer and dryer in the unit itself but the amenities this place offered weighed out that negative for me. The monthly rates are reasonable too, approximately $ 630 for 640 square feet and that is a one bedroom. The size is small and something that I questioned but again they make up for it with the amenities. Also, I find that they are very dog friendly with a nice sized dog park, many poop stations and a whole array of places one can walk their dog. I see so many dog walkers on a daily basis and that just makes me think that the dogs love it too. We live right next to a small grassy area that I see kids and dogs playing at. Is kind of like a mini park. They also have these picnic tables where you can ring your own chess pieces too. Back to the pet friendly issue, I don’t have a dog but I would want one yet the fat that the deposit is $ 300 and they ask for a pet rent of $ 20 was something that made me hesitant on getting a dog. When I consider how much upkeep they partake in the landscape it doesn’t seem that unreasonable but for myself it is just not the right time financially. I know they do also have two bedrooms and three bedrooms as well. The management is friendly but they seem to be always very busy and with a huge complex like this I can see why. We had some issues with our A.C. Unit, it was one of those thing were they thought they fixed it but the unit was so old that it needed to be retired so that was fixed in about a weeks time which wasn’t that bad because the weather was still cool. The maintenance crew is kind and professional, I see them around talking to other renters and they seem personable too, which is nice. My only big complaint about these apartments is that I wish they had more stricter policies when it came to access to the common areas like the pool, fitness room and laundry room. I see a lot of kids just hanging around using the wifi and al to of the fitness machines tend to break down often and I think it is caused to the kids playing around on them. They have signs posted but I realize that you can monitor every aspect All of the time but if I had to gripe about something that would be it. My suggestion wild be to have the fitness room locked and give the guest access with a key rather than leaving it open to the public. I haven’t seen anyone using the laundry room that didn’t live here, but the laundry room is so huge that I don’t think it being filled would’ve a major problem. I am doing my laundry right now actually as I review the apartments and there are only a few other people doing laundry. On the weekends like Sunday evening, especially, that is when you will see about ten to fifteen people doing their laundry. So I hope I helped showcase some of the really great things about these apartments!

The Pavilion. Lived here for one year my junior year of college. Lemme break it down for ya.
+ :
1) Nice, new renovated apartment. Did not need to call maintainence for anything the entire time I lived there
2) New carpet, stainless steel appliances, track lighting
3) Balcony, nice sized storage unit
4) A big dog park! Too bad I didn’t have a dog. Volleyball court (with a league that plays every Fri in the summer), tennis court, pool — all very nice.
5) Pretty landscaping. Nice playground for kids.
6) Their clubhouse is very cool, even though I never used it. Movie theater you can rent out! Can you say AWESOME?
8) Good location for West Co. Easy access to Page, Olive, and 270. Dierberg’s, my bank, and most other things people need in day-​to-​day life just one minute shot down on Dorsett. Westport Plaza another minute shot down Marine/​Westport Plz Dr.
9) Good price. My new one bedroom — $ 590 (with student discount — otherwise $ 600), which was the best price I could find in West Co for something as nice as what I was getting
+/​-​:
The management is generally nice, but ran into a bit of a kerfuffle when a friend of mine signed a lease. Their promotion going on was refer someone and if they sign a lease your rent for the next month is only $ 300 or something like that. Well, a friend of mine asked how I liked living here, and recommended it to her. She checked it out, got a tour, waited on it for a little while, and signed the lease later. Apparently she told them when she was signing the lease that I was the one that referred her. They would not give me the discount because «she was supposed to write down your name when she toured.» I thought what mattered is that they signed the lease? Don’t give me that shit to try to get out of what you promised in the fliers you’ve been spamming my door with every month. She was refered by me, wouldn’t even know about this place if it wasn’t for me, and now she’s signing the lease, so give me my damn discount. I argued, she said she’d call her boss. Never did. I’d call back and was always told this girl was busy or not working and she’d call me back. Never did. After about a week and three phone calls, I called upper management. Luckily, it didn’t take much explanation and Boss Lady took care of it, and I got my discount. It was pretty lame it had to go to that though. This was my only issue with management. They were otherwise pretty okay as far as apartment management goes.
— :
1) Better have your own computer because their computer room is always full of teenagers surfing the internet. I was excited about this feature because I don’t own a printer, but I always had to go to my school to print because I could never get a computer in their computer room.
2) Coin laundry, and not in your building (in the main building, so you have to walk or drive over there)
3) Douchebags using the coin laundry. You have to stay down there and watch your damn clothes because some of the classier people that live here will take your clothes out and use your dryer time.
4) The workout room is decent but some residents (probably the same as mentioned above) sit on the stationary bikes just to watch the television, and are just generally creepy
5) Speaking of generally creepy, had an interesting run in when I was sitting in the grassy area playing with my pet rat Cheerio one day (not that that’s relevant to the story, but that’s why I was randomly sitting in the middle of a grassy area). Shriveled old man suddenly comes limping over, speaking to me completely in Spanish. Using my limited Spanish skills, I was able to figure out that his name was Rodolfo and he wanted to know if he could come to my apartment and watch my television because he doesn’t have one, or listen to my radio because he loves music. He started hugging me and begging me to come over. I think he was harmless, but WHAT EL FUCK-​O. «No…no, lo siento… ADIOS!» *run* I was kind of afraid to leave my apartment for a couple days, but nothing like that ever happened again.
So. In conclusion. Despite all that the only reason I moved was the coin laundry reason. Hate hate hate coin laundry. Must have my own washer and dryer. I could print at school and I worked out at Creve Coeur Club Fitness (hm, I need to write a review on that) and Creepy Rodolfo never showed up again (I alerted management about him and they said they’ve had complaints about him before because he’d stand at the pool and stare at the women, and I’m pretty sure he got evicted). I really liked the apartment and the area was nice, and most the residents seemed like pretty decent people — young professionals and families. If I had my own washer/​dryer and I needed to stay in West Co for whatever reason, I would have stayed. I was generally pretty happy there. Even though I pretty much got felt up by a 70+ old Peruvian man who complimented me on my «little dog» («actualmente, es una rata» «NOOO! Verdad??»)
