Ion at the Ballpark Apartments

Thursday night trivia games, and the monthly food trucks. Oh and there are always opportunities to get free food delivered right to your door. The staff has had pizza, Chick-fil-A, and even cheeseburgers delivered right to our doorstep. Who doesn’t love free food? The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Maintenance requests are fulfilled in a timely manner. And I’ve never felt threatened by the maintenance crew. Also if you work downtown, your commute is a gift. I love being only 2 minutes from the hospital. I sometimes even walk to work, and it takes about 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend living here. You get what you pay for. Might as well treat yourself to the best. We only live and die once anyway!

was highly unethical. They’re honestly quite selfish and it’s clear they don’t care about their tenants, just the money. Also, I had a neighbor who’s dog peed/ pooped In front of my door all the time and it was just disgusting. The move out fees were almost as much as a months rent which is ridiculous. They charged me for weird things such as wall paint and cleaning when I cleaned the unit before I left ? This place is weird and not a regular apartment complex. It’s not very quiet either. I wouldn’t recommend living here.

terrible and management puts more effort into sweeping problems under the rug instead of trying to fix things. The apartment is overpriced, unkept, and loaded with college students since the apartment was unable to fill units with young professionals as advertised. The Venue is now a glorified dormitory where the halls are one big trash can. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a living situation. The location is enticing but it is not worth the constant migraine or hole burned in your wallet.

the list. "Billed as "Premier Downtown Apartments," they're anything but. There are two "security gates" on the parking deck. One worked for about three weeks last summer. The other has been broken since January, which leads to a full parking deck, especially on game days, even though renters pay $40 a month to park there. The elevators are perpetually breaking down and take weeks to repair. The latest elevator outage has lasted three weeks. Repairs to your apartment take multiple requests and can go for weeks without being addressed. Security is about as lax as it can be. Weekends and holidays the place turns into an open party for what seems like every college student in Birmingham whether they know someone who lives at The Venue or not, making it next to impossible for actual paying residents to enjoy the amenities that the apartment complex does offer. The office staff is incompetent and fails to address even the most easily addressed concerns. In short--YOU DONT WANT TO LIVE HERE. They charge for the view but fail to keep the place livable."
