Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I have lived at the 501 for close to 2 years and I have had a great experience. The Leasing Office and maintenance teams are extremely helpful and responsive. The thing I like the most is everything is walking distance or a short uber ride. I have been thoroughly satisfied with living at the 501 and I recommend the community to my friends.

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to Jeri, the APM at The 501 for always providing excellent customer service and going above and beyond to make my residency here worthwhile. From the rapport that she’s built with my roommate and I since when we first moved here in 2019 until now. This was our first apartment and I can truly say it was a great choice.
