I really enjoy my studio apartment and you cannot ask for a better location. Convenient location to my place of work.

Nice enough apartments, but new property management is AWFUL. They have not responded to maintenance requests and they are somehow both in your business and unhelpful.They do not seem to understand how to send people in the building emails. They also went door-to-door to check to see if people had pets during a PANDEMIC (despite also sending out surveys).Other gripes: building runs out of heat in winter, in-unit dryer is awful, package area not secure.Find somewhere else to live. There is better for cheaper.

Great location. Studio decent size able to separate kitchen area, living space and bed area. Bathroom floor & shower tile could have been redone doesn’t add “character”. Noise/music from restaurant/club next door is a downside. Maintenance responds quickly! Staff are nice & helpful. Good communication. Under Essential ManagementPLOT TWIST Within the last few months of my lease the management got extremely unorganized! Constantly changing team members and was unresponsive. I have since moved out and despite leaving my unit spotless they have YET to return my security deposit. It has been 2 months and I have received no emails or calls back. I have multiple emails to Briggs stating my forwarding address and I gave it to the staff prior to moving out so that is simply false.

I have to agree with the other reviewers: the new property management company (JSD Associates?) that took over in February 2020 is an absolute disaster. Clueless. Unprofessional. Seem like they’re used to being slumlords. At this price point in a building of professionals who can afford to move to greener pastures, they are NOT a good fit. They’re:- Surly to residents.- Incompetent at simple record keeping (where is my money?!).- Unable to organize and execute maintenance requests (despite a professional maintenance crew).Briggs should bring back Essential (we all miss you!) or this building is going to soon be a ghost town or something worse given their utter incompetence.

The management keeps up on things and are very friendly. I appreciated the cement walls and the fact that the building is not on a boiler system. The gated and attached parking lot was convenient. They seem like they are continuing to invest in the property. The only downside for me was the restaurant in the building because they share a back hallway with residents. Also, it just created for more traffic.

Great security manager and staff are seriously awesome. Very organized and amazing communication. I love living here. This is only time I have lived in a place where the rent was exactly worth the value.There’s a historic yet upscale vibe and every interior part of this building maintains its identity. It boosts my mood. The location is great, walking distance to downtown Detroit. I love that the building is always locked, security is huge for me. High quality appliances, good quality kitchen, and in unit washer/dryer! The shower head makes me feel rich it is one of those full body stream shower heads, with many settings.

Modern amenities, clean apartments, good location and nice gym. The leasing office is a pleasure to work with. Any maintenance requests Ive had have been resolved quickly. If you are working downtown Detroit, Id recommend living here.

EDIT: It took 39 days and me emailing the Principal & President, Principle VP, and Regional Property Manager of the former Briggs Houze management company in order to get my security deposit back. The Principal & President of Essential PM (the previous property manager) put me in touch with the owner of the new property manager company. After talking with the owner, this was resolved in around three business hours. Living at Briggs Houze under Essential PM was great. Id watch out for the new management company as getting my refund was a disaster.Lived at Briggs Houze for 2 years and loved it! Its maybe a bit pricey for the location but its a great place to live and would recommend it to anyone!

I lived at Briggs Houze for just a little over year. Really loved living here and had a great experience. Great location, nice apartment, and great staff who plan awesome events for residents. The only reason I didnt renew my lease was because I got a new job in a different city and needed to relocate. I will miss living here!

Great location, WAY too pricey, very poor management.

Great place! I love my apartment. The views and proximity to all things Detroit is amazing. The staff is super helpful and polite.

Awesome place with tons of character! The apartments are newly renovated with high end features but through the renovation they kept a lot of the historical character. Particularly like the original subway tile in the bathrooms and high ceilings!

Had no heat the entire winter, was barely compensated for an apartment that reached as low as 48°. The HVAC system is horrible, even right now and summer it does not get to the temperature it says it supposed to. The elevators are slow and you cannot fit anything into them if they work. Considering the price they charge to live here underwhelming

Amazing Location. Awesome building, very beautiful and historic feel. Units are very nice, all new appliances and windows. Rocket Fiber internet available.

Friendly staff, apartments are in good condition. One of few places in area that offer studio size apartments if looking for something small.

Don’t trust anything anyone from this company says. They will continue to charge for things that make no sense. They have no value for money and think it grows on trees. If you don’t feel like having to spend (waste) another couple hundred dollars a month on fees and penalties for nothing then this is your place!
