To whom it concern, I viewed an apartment today at 2108 W Millard today at 10:45am. I would like to say the process in which you showed the apartment felt uncomfortable and a little bit unprofessional. I'm accustomed to viewing an apartment alone not with another potential tenant and to my surprise ...

I have rented from Urban Alternatives for 3 1/2 years. Any time I have an issue I can count on them to quickly answer and take care of the problem. The property manager to my building, Monique, is wonderful to work with. She is always easy to get a hold of and is extremely helpful with any concerns ...

Seems like a very honest company. Providing apartments and homes for lease. They've been up front with me and provided several options. The screening process was a tad tedious but I get it. They are a business, and want to insure they get quality renters that will pay their rent. Everyone has been g...

I had such a poor experience dealing with the staff. To start things off, they didn't even want to show me the apartment I was interested in because I have "a too common name" and they want to make sure I'm not "that one guy" who has been evicted or has a criminal background (I get why they would wa...

EXTREMELY rude staff in the leasing office was condescending and acted as if i should have been aware of their policies ahead of time ... and my rental application was a waste of her time before she even knew my name. Eye rolling, insulting...just d...

I called in to make an appointment. I was told 4:30pm is the last viewing of the day. I knew that from where we were that it was almost impossible to reach that destination by that time as my wife gets out at about 3:30pm every day and she works near the Indiana border. I was informed that it was ok...

Please dont waste your time. I called to view a 2br apartment and was rejected due to someone with my name having an eviction. I informed the rep that I have never been evicted. She said I would have to complete a full background check. I told her just to view an apartment, she stated they dont want...

So far so good. Reps assisting over the phone, every time I called has been no hassle. Getting to view one apartment was understandable. In depth application process for approval. After getting approved saw the apartment I wanted and paid on it same day. Decent neighborhood & building we choose. Cal...

Wish I could give them zero stars, don t even waste your time. Completely unprofessional and not worthy of your business. Tanya, one of their employees, isn t qualified to work a lemonade stand, let alone an actual customer service position.

I wanna give a big thanks to Tanya for helping me and my family when we was almost to the end. Urban Alternatives have some very nice and comfortable apartments. Me and my kids feel safer and living better then we was. So glad I chose them instead of Pangea. Thanks Tanya good job.

Called from southern illinois to visit an apartment in Chicago for my son who is about to go away to college. They said he had to fill out an application and prove his identity because he had an eviction from an apartment he and some woman were sharing...he's 17!
