August 30, 2021The Square is by far the nicest place I've ever lived since moving out of my parents' house. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. Everyone has a positive attitude and says Hello. I'm living in a single apartment with a balcony looking down on W Grace St. I love sitting outside and drinking coffee in the morning.Property Manager Responded

Great Staff and Location
June 30, 2021I've lived here for two years and am very happy here. As all the other reviews mention, the staff in the leasing office and maintenance are super sweet! The prices are pretty high but I would say worth it due to the really convenient location as a VCU student and all the amenities, especially the gym. I would say parking is really expensive, it's cheaper to get a spot close by elsewhere. The apartment itself is gorgeous, great views especially if you get one with a balcony!Property Manager Responded

Great All Around
June 25, 2021I have lived at The Square for almost 4 years now. The only reason why I didn’t renew my lease for next year is because I’m moving out of state. The staff at The Square go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for you. Maintenance gets completed promptly. The views from the higher up apartments are fantastic (Full view of the sunrise if you face Shafer St!!!) and you can see an unreal view of the sunset from the roof. Everyone who works there truly is fantastic! Extra shoutout to ...Miss Vickie and Kevin- they always say hi to me when they see me and even ask how my cat is doing. 10/10, would recommend living here.Property Manager Responded

March 30, 2021The Square is much more like a home than I had expected out of an apartment complex. The office and maintenance staff are what really make The Square go above and beyond compared to other living options.Review from Apartments.com

March 16, 2021You will be hard pressed to fine staff that genuinely cares about their residents more than those at The Square. By far the friendliest, most accommodating group of professionals I have ever had the pleasure of leasing from.Property Manager Responded
