Living at The Hive was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with housing. They took $136 from my security deposit to replace a smoke detector battery—yes, a battery. After arguing for months without resolution, I can confidently say this place is a scam. Good luck reaching them, too—call right now, I dare you. No one will pick up. The cockroach infestation was unbearable, and management couldn’t care less. They have the nerve to charge over $1300 per person for double rooms. Charging that much for a single room is reasonable, but for doubles? It’s outrageous. When our oven shattered out of nowhere, there was broken glass everywhere that we constantly tried to clean, but even after continual communication with management, it took them nearly a month to replace it. Their washers and dryers even burned my clothes—yes, you’re paying luxury prices to have your things ruined. Overall, The Hive is a nightmare with incompetent management, absurd prices, and an attitude that screams they don’t care about their residents. Save your money and your sanity. DO NOT LIVE HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. There is a reason management has changed 3 times over the past few years. Hive management, if you’re reading this, don’t even bother responding with your cookie cutter “thank you for sharing your feedback” and telling me to call your number. I’m not calling your number, I want nothing to do with you, and even if I did, you wouldn’t pick up.

This apartment was charged 950 and they wanted to increase it about 200-300 dollars the rent for the next year when renewing. You share space with people and my roommate in this case was a really dirty and disorganized person. Who left the toilet black and water everywhere (he cleans himself with water after using the toilet) there were tissues all over the apartment and after some roports and a fine that he got the problem was still the same until I leftt . Not with the price. There is better near by cheaper and nicer
