Deming Manor Apartments

I resided in this building in the mid-​late 1980’s while attending Columbia for my Masters. What time I did spend there during my 3yrs there I remember the address fondly for the value for such a convenient and cosmopolitan neighborhood. Sure the walls were fairly thin and one could wonder and marvel at what might be happening on the other side (also wondering what others though of me) and the wafting scents of various foods being prepared. It’s sad to think the building not still being as I remember.

Been here for 6 months, haven’t seen a cockroach yet. It is definitely an old building, but my apartment has a new kitchen and bathroom. You get what you pay for. It’s a cheaper option in an expensive neighborhood. Mickey, the building manager, has been very helpful and has followed through with everything he said he would fix.

I live on the top floor, so perhaps that’s why I haven’t had problems with rats, millipedes, or cockroaches. I looked pretty thoroughly through the area before committing to live here, and find it to be the best value I could find. The building is steps from every possible restaurant on Clark St. It’s less than a half-​mile from the lake and train, and the Clark St. bus goes straight downtown. I’ve found my apartment to be very clean, and the building engineer (Miki) is possibly the nicest person I’ve ever met. The only negatives I can come up with are that the doors tend to stick because everything has been painted and re-​painted a thousand times. Oh, and the elevator is the old cage-​style so it’s slightly scary. No surprise for any of you who have lived in apartments, the walls are thin and I often hear stuff going on in the apartments around me. And lastly, since all of the apartments are so small, you can smell cooked food around dinner time if you walk through the hallway. These are all issues that would be present with any apartment (or condo, for that matter), so they only account for 1 star being removed. I would recommend this place to all of my friends, and you too.

Mickey was one of the nicest property managers I’ve ever seen. Older building, many repainted surfaces and moldings (sometimes so much so that doors can have a difficult time opening and closing), in window AC and register heating… the trade off is price and convenience (location wise). Would recommend to friends.
