3949 Lindell

I love living here as a student at Saint Louis University. The apartments a very luxurious with great amenities. I love that they are relatively new and they have things such as granite countertops, wood floors, and in unit laundry. It is a bit more expensive than other student housing in the area and it is a farther walk than those places as well, however, that’s what you pay for a nicer and newer place. It is very peaceful as well and sounds is almost never an issue… especially compared to most student housing complexes. I wish the gym was a bit larger, but the free tanning and beautiful courtyard makeup for it.

good location, which is close to campus and supermarket. Room is big and clean. However, the elevator is not convenient, it takes me a long walk from the elevator to my apartment.

Living here is a bad experience. I am a graduate student in saint louis university. I choose this place mainly because it is close to the university. I am working hard with my tough program and spending the most of my time outside this apartment.
I can’t sleep well at night because of the noise that neighbors make almost every night. Dancing, music and screaming. This affects my grades and makes my bad days. The cost to live in this apartment is high comparing to other places in the area but the quality is poor. I went to the office and talked about this. They said «give us call at the moment of noise». I did but it is useless. I can’t wait to leave this place.
The whole floor is smelly because the trash in that floor is not isolated in a professional way. I can tolerate anything except having no sleep at night. I really can’t wait to leave this shit.
While I am writing this, I am trying to sleep and I couldn’t because of loud music and screaming.

This place is okay. The apartments are new since they rebuilt from the fire recently so thats a big plus. Built in appliances, water, cable, building wide wifi, hard wood floors and granite counter tops. Only extra things you have to pay for are parking, which they have a huge garage, and electricity. Something I recommend is to get on budget billing so you don’t get a surprise $ 120 electric bill in the summer. My only complaints are that the trash room is completely uninsulated, so that whole quarter of the building just reeks and the Kitebridge people they are hosting. Expect to hear loud discussions, music at random hours, lots of disruptive behavior in the apartment gym when they visit, and randomly having large crowds of 10 – 15 people every so often. However, the staff members are awesome, kind, and helpful. I recommend it if you have the budget for it.

If you are thinking of renting in this part of STL, you can’t go wrong. It is essentially student housing, if that works for you. The place is brand new after a fire about a year ago. Amenities are plenty and you’ll be the first tenant in a room at this point. Two blocks from SLU. Ask for Brad the property manager.

3949 Lindell is a relatively new apartment building, having been built only about 2 years ago. Along with its close proximity to the SLU campus and CWE, the «newness» of the building is its biggest selling point. It is advertised as a luxury apartment; however, within days of moving in, I’ve noticed that the construction work was incredibly sloppy — misaligned cabinet doors, misaligned drawers, crooked shower doors, unfinished walls, really poor insulation, and doors that get caught on the frame, are only just a sampling of the poor work that was put into getting this place up and running. I’ve taken to calling it «faux luxury»
All of that is by no means the fault of the current management company, which took over only recently. A big reason why I’m still here is because it is relatively new (my roommate and I are the second inhabitants of this unit) and the management are great people who will work with you and take your suggestions, complaints, and opinions into consideration.
pros:
— gym (2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, a few machines, free weights, and tanning booths)
— swimming pool (oddly shaped — not for lap swimming, more for splashing) w/​outdoor lounge chairs
— covered parking
— excellent office staff!
— signed packages
— modern, new apartment
— in-​unit washer/​dryer
— good natural lighting
— across the street from McDonald’s
cons:
— we can hear the elephants upstairs and can track their moves with each step (they are very heavy walkers in addition to poor vertical insulation)
— poor wall/​window insulation (it gets either really hot in the summer or really cold in the winter — to save on electricity, my roommate and I have space heaters and standing fans)
— a lot of neighbors who don’t understand the meaning of a trash chute
— across the street from McDonald’s
