  • new resident (soon)

    January 11, 2023
    I recently visited this complex and applied for a 3 bedroom. Unfortunately there is currently a waiting list. However, I am so excited to be accepted and move as soon as one is available! The manager, Stephanie, was so helpful and friendly! The second I walked in the office for my tour I felt 'at home'. Although this building is old it is SOOOO beautiful! Apartments are spacious and being downtown is a bonus!! Thank you Stephanie for being ahhhhmazzzing!!!

  • 2.5 years and more!

    January 10, 2023
    I’ve been a resident since mid 2020 and have zero plans to leave anytime soon! Friendly staff, approachable management, and easy-going neighbors make globe one of the easiest places to live. You’re close to most of the action that downtown Grand Rapids has to offer for a fraction of the cost of what you’ll pay 2 blocks north! The Globe is where it’s at!

  • Great, affordable, downtown living

    January 10, 2023
    I have lived at The Globe for almost a year and my Partner has been here for over 3! We love our apartment, the building, and the team here. Stephanie and her team are prompt, professional, and fair. When there is a problem, they are always great to work with. I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else downtown!

    May 2, 2022
    The Globe Apartments are my absolute favorite. I enjoy working with the office staff when I have questions, the maintenance crew, and my neighbors. I also value all of the small details that the staff notices. If my neighbors discover I'm gone, they'll hold my packages for me. This is a fantastic place to call home. Thank you for all of your efforts, team.
