Mansion House Apartments

The roof top pool has one of the best viewing areas of St Louis right along with the Arch. Nice. Great place to have a party no doubt.

I lived here for a year can’t say it’s been great but it hasn’t been completely terrible. They are a nice staff but kind of noisy. And the parking garage situation is what is the worst thing. Very unorganized and paying a pretty penny for service and can’t even get a parking spot available! The building is older but the view on the rooftop is the best thing and the pool is fun and clean. It’s ok but I’ve seen better apartments!

Highly recommend! Very clean and reasonability priced. My boyfriend and I recently moved here from Southern California to attend graduate school. We found this place last minute online while driving across the country in a Uhaul without ever seeing it in person.
The unit itself is clean, the air works wonderfully (you chose between warmer, normal, and coolest which has not been a problem at all), our unit includes stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage, hardwood floors, the shower pressure is great, and the views are wonderful. You pay for electric & cable/​internet — everything else is covered by the Mansion House.
The apartment building has been updated, there is free laundry (and plenty of machines), plenty of amenities (rooftop pool, sauna, gym, library and an outdoor area), there is an efficient package delivery service run by the lobby attendants, the mail is conveniently located, you have to have a key fob to enter the building which makes it feel very safe, and the elevators have worked fine for us (we’ve only run into traffic a few times which is to be expected in a 29 story building). The only downside we’ve encountered is the additional $ 90 a month for parking which can only be paid with check or cashiers check. The garage is open to the public.
The staff here are so professional and friendly. Leah and Eileen in the leasing office were so helpful and made the transition to Saint Louis a pleasant one. The lobby attendants are all very friendly and helpful as well. We asked maintenance to check our door (it stuck a bit when opening it) and they arrived promptly and fixed the problem without any hesitation.
We are both very glad we chose the Mansion House Apartments as our first home away from home!

The word «Mansion» definitely fits the description of these apartments. The amenities alone provide luxury style living. I’m a gym fanatic and I loved the 24 hour Fitness Center as well as semi-​weekly fitness trainer, which is the icing on the cake. In addition to this the onsite laundry and rooftop pool also free amenities that are included. When you walk into the building there is a 24 hour lobby attendant, which provides a sense of security in such as luxurious place. There is secure covered garage parking that is also included as well. These apartments are located near all the fabulous places you don’t want to miss in St. Louis, such as the Busch Stadium and The Arch Gardens, right in the center of downtown. So you’re probably thinking the rent is an insane amount, but these start as low as $ 599 and go up to $ 1499! I enjoyed my apartment that included views of the city for a little over $ 700 a month. You can even pay your rent online! These apartments are amazing, and I only left them due to relocating to be closer to my mother to take care of her. Otherwise, I would be still enjoying these amazing apartments. The rental staff is awesome to work with and very kind and considerate. If you live in the area, definitely add these to your apartment hunting list to check them out!

I moved in with in July of 2013 and the day before I moved in the water in the pool from up above overflowed and leaked into everybody’s apartment in the management never told me so when I moved in I had mold in my apartment and had holes in my apartment in the bedroom. On a very busy street like Washington Avenue. Directly next door to all the hotels and directly next door to the Busch Stadium just it’s not where all the action happens which is on Washington Avenue and the management was not straightforward with me and that was rude but it’s great views of Missouri from the top deck and maybe that’s all you’ll get I moved in one day I moved out the next day

Nice place to stay, my fiends rent there their second year already, and for the time I lived with them it was a nice experience. I love all the free stuff they offer for the residents — the giant pool, the laundry, the gym. It’s located kinda far from all the night life, but that is not a big problem, if you want to live in a quiet place.

I stayed with Mansion House as a business traveler. They offer furnished corporate apartments through a partnership with VIP Corporate Housing. I expected to be spending my time in St. Louis in a hotel and was very pleasantly surprised when I ended up at Mansion House instead. It really combined the benefits of a hotel and apartment into one — I had a real residence, with kitchen, a fitness center, but also had an attendant on call in the lobby at all hours, and free laundry, which I thought was a really nice addition. I wasn’t there in the summer so couldn’t spend much time outdoors, but I did check out the roof and view — both fantastic. It would have been an awesome summer pool spot. All in all, definitely not a bad place to stay while I was out there, and if work took me back, I’d try to stay there again.

Mansion House is a gorgeous place to live. Remodeled from an old hotel, these apartments offer a unique living space with a range of amenities that you don’t often find from and apartment leasing location. The most obvious claim to fame for Mansion House is the awesome rooftop pool and observation deck, both of which overlook downtown St. Louis and offer a breathtaking view of the St. Louis Arch. When you’re at the pool, you will truly feel like you are on a luxurious vacation, not at an affordable apartment complex.
Other positive amenities include a fitness center (with a resident exercise trainer), on-​site laundry options, and a ²⁴⁄₇ lobby attendant. There is also garage parking, but you have to pay a fair amount extra each month to park your car there. I sort of understand the logic behind that decision, since the apartment complex is right downtown and public transportation is easy enough to walk to, but coming from less populated areas where parking is ALWAYS included with the rent bill, that was an unpleasant surprise for me.
Rent is totally affordable, whether you want to live with a roommate or on your own. Rates generally range from $ 599 to $ 1499, depending on the floor plan, the number of rooms, the window views, etc. Both young professionals and students will find a lot to love about those prices and the amenities they include. In addition, Mansion House offers some nicely flexible leasing options. Through college, I lived at a number of apartment complexes that required you to sign a one-​year lease, even though I only ever stuck around for the eight months of the school year. Mansion House is more accommodating. For example, if you have to have an extended business stay in the area, it’s the perfect place to go, as furnished apartments are offered for stays longer than 30 days.
The cons are few, but may be deal breakers for some. The area is a little detached from central downtown, and the neighborhood, therefore, can be a little sketchy, especially at night. The internet service needs a major overhaul: you pay $ 100 a month for it through Mansion House, connections are slow and spotty, and you can’t set up your own Cable account. And the air conditioning/​heat issue is just strange, more like a college dorm or a hotel (obviously) than an apartment. They turn on the heat in the winter and the air in the summer, and you don’t really get a choice as far as temperature is concerned. With that said, it’s really not that big of a deal unless you need the temperature set at a certain level.
Overall, I was satisfied with my experience at Mansion House. The views are second to none, the location is decent, the apartments are nice, and the amenities are amazing. I would certainly recommend this apartment complex to a friend.

I wish I had taken the negative reviews seriously before I moved in here. First, let me say that the apartments are decent and mostly remodeled. I have not had any issues with management and my maintenance requests have both been completed very timely with no issues. The building also feels pretty safe for downtown and you can setup your monthly rent payment through your credit card, so you can earn a lot of points that way.
However, the negatives definitely outweigh the positives. First, the heat/​air situation is a lot worse then I expected. I’m currently sitting in an apartment that is more humid than sitting outside. Sometimes I leave my apartment just to go outside and get some air. Don’t live here if you prefer your apartment to be cold during the summer because you won’t get it without buying a bunch of fans. There are days I get to work early because I can’t wait to feel an air conditioner! Next, the entry process to the building is a joke. They use swipe cards like at hotels but the doors you swipe to get in take 5 – 10 swipe attempts before they will open, if you’re lucky.
Yes the laundry is free, which is great. However, expect people to be letting in their friends and family who live nearby in to use the facility. Also, there is always a few washing machines that don’t work. Speaking of not working, there always seems to be 1 – 2 elevators that are broken and under maintenance. This leaves two elevators at some times for a 30 story building. I have waited over ten minutes to get an elevator on some occasions. Also, expect people to bring their dogs on the elevator and not control them so you’ll have dogs jumping on you in your work clothes.
Don’t take the rooftop pool as a positive. It is very nice and if you can go during the week then you don’t have to worry about crowds. However, there are never any chairs available during the weekends as it just gets way too crowded up there.
So I would recommend Mansion House based on safety, friendliness of staff, and fast and efficient maintenance for your apartment issues. I would not recommend Mansion House if you don’t have the patience to deal with broken elevators and long waits, people using the laundry facility who shouldn’t causing delays for everyone else to access a washing machine, and horrible heating and air that just makes you miserable during the summer.

The person doing these ridiculous bad reviews obviously has issues as they’ve been making the rounds with the same rhetoric. I’ve lived here for years, have many friends here. If you actually clean your place it won’t look like that. The cable works fine, they even have DirecTV if that’s more what you need. Location is good and parking is very plentiful. If there is an event, they hold back enough spots for long term parkers. You might have to go down in the garage a bit, but no big deal. As far as heat, the building has floor to ceiling windows. Last summer was extraordinarily hot. Close the blinds on rough days and it makes all the difference. If the heat went out, it was quickly rectified. Heat and air are centrally controlled and included, so if you want a giant heating or cooling bill, move somewhere with a thermostat. Maintenance is great. Views, security, nice people. What more can you ask.

Have lived in Mansion House apartments for 7 months. Price is good and location is nice if you work downtown. Easy access to interstate. Would I pick it again? Probably not.
Positives:
–Free laundry (though there are times when the wait for a machine can be awhile)
–Can pay rent with American Express and payment can be automatically deducted.
–Great views of downtown/​Mississippi/​Arch
–Rooftop pool is great in the summer and is a good place to meet neighbors.
–Decent fitness center that’s open ²⁴⁄₇
–They are pet friendly and seem to accept most breeds.
–24 hour doorman that will sign for packages.
–Secure building. Key card necessary to get inside and to elevators.
–Free heat/​air conditioning. Only pay electric.
Negatives:
–Only one option for internet provider and the service through that provider is AWFUL! Internet goes out for days at a time.
–The heat has gone out a few times this winter and the only response is «Sorry. We’re working on it.»
–Water temp changes constantly throughout taking a shower.
–People’s dogs pee in the elevators and it can take awhile for anyone to clean it up.
–Parking is $ 90/​month per car in the garage underneath the building and they don’t take credit cards.
–Neighborhood is definitely sketchy.
–Only close bars/​restaurants are generally located in hotel lobbies and are quite expensive.
–The windows are very old and VERY drafty in the winter.
–Very LOUD from traffic outside. We are up on a high floor and can easily hear interstate traffic and loud bass from cars outside.
One of the most obnoxious things about living here is the heat/​AC situation. This is a remodeled hotel and the heat and air come out of large vents on the floor that take up a lot of room and cannot be shut off. You just have a dial that reads «Warmer — Normal — Colder» So basically, they turn the heat on late fall and turn the air on in the spring. You do not get to control the exact temperature of your apartment. The heat has gone out a couple times this winter and the vents blow out cold air. They cannot be turned off so you’re left to cover the vents with blankets to prevent having the apartment filled with cold air.
If you want to live downtown, I would suggest the Loft District on Washington Ave. Much more nightlife/​restaurants. There is a grocery store about 5 or 6 blocks away but if you need something quickly, there’s a convenience store down the block. Watch out for weirdos there. Definitely a weird crowd. Especially at night.

This place is truly one of a kind when it comes to living in St Louis.
A very good starter place for transplants new to the city for students and those who come to work in downtown. Off the bat, they have great leasing options, 6 months is avaliable. The rent is very fair, and you can score an amazing view of the city, and or arch if you get to live in the upper floors. Units are remodeled nicely, water is nice and warm and efficient in the bathrooms, kitchen is modern and fun to cook in, and heating, and air conditioning are provided for free, and do the job in both seasons, in these real cold winters, im finding that the heating is superb, never was cold once here! The best deal is that they include heating, water, air condition, and trash desposal free within the rent, all you pay is a small electricty bill. So you end up saving big when you consider it. Everything is very convenient for the tenants. And in the summertime, the pool is out of this world! Parking is accesable and is connected with the unit, and is underground, keeping you car away from the elements, car garage is monitored by security (but be smart and hide your valuables anyway, this is St Louis). Parking is $ 90.00 a month, but saves you a headache, well worth it. There is good mix of tenants, namely, retirees, young students and professionals. This place according to some folks was the living quarters for all the famous news casters in the neighboring Television and Radio buildings on Market Street. Yes, Ron Burgendy used to live here, so it gives you the kind of idea, that this place catered to some pretty prominent people. As for you dog lovers, and pet owners, the mansion house is pet friendly, and very convenient for pet owners, even for those with more than 1 dog. They have a prominant (A outside section that connects up the three towers, for you to walk your dog) There you can meet other dog owners, and it serves as a kind of dog park. Very convenient, and eases you the headache of owning dogs in the city. They have a great Workout area, quite extended, and robust with machines, with TVs in each room. In the summertime, the pool is out of this world. The view from the top floor over the whole city, and then you jump into the pool and it’s like heaven! I have found it to be very convenient here. The staff is very friendly and nice.
The only drawback, is that it is downtown, and though St Louis is really really trying hard to build up downtown, you will most likely be apprehensive to be out after 6PM. Not trying to scare anyone, it just that downtown becomes a desert at 6PM, and you probably dont want to be walking anywhere (not that there is anything to walk to) at that time. As far being close to any markets, you really only have Culunaria’s 6 blocks west, which is very expensive, though gourmet. You will have to drive out to the county for shopping. I see mansion house as a good base for people that are in transition, studying, or getting settled into st louis. Personally, if you are from out of state, and not familiar with St Louis, i think this place is pefect. Gives you time to study the areas to make your next move. There are a lot of seedy and scary areas in st louis, and this apartment avoids all that. It’s worth it, rent today!

I have lived in Mansion House for over 3 months now and I have to say, I am impressed. As far as the unit goes, everything has been nicely remodeled. There are new appliances that work great and most things are in good working order.
The building itself provides a lot of amenities, including: a rooftop swimming pool, free laundry with brand new machines, a pool table, fitness center (one of the treadmills is in rough shape though), a sauna, security cameras, and a ²⁴⁄₇ lobby attendant. On top of that everyone I have met in the building has been pretty friendly.
I have also been very pleased with the buildings management. The landlords are very friendly and actually live in the building. There always seems to be some work going on to improve the apartments and keep things in good shape. If you have any problems with your apartment, maintenance is even here on Saturdays!
My one gripe with living here is the location. There really is nothing going on in terms of restaurants and night life this far downtown. You don’t start to find people at night until you get to Washington, and even then you have to go up to 8^th st and higher for the real crowds. This lack of people at night makes things a little sketchy if you’re alone. There are also a lot of panhandlers around the area and they can get pretty aggressive at times.
Overall, Mansion House is a great place to live if you work downtown like I do. It is a well run apartment building with a good sense of security. They offer short term leases so it is also a great place to live if you are just getting used to the city!
