The View on Fifth

Renter beware. The property manager we met was extraordinarily condescending and clearly more interested in her breakfast sandwich than talking to us. Glad we dodged a bullet here; we were down to this location and one other. This snarky and rude interaction helped us make our decision. For that we are grateful

All in all, this is a lovely apartment complex, but admittedly, not without its problems. My initial impression was good, though the sales rep came off somewhat overzealous. (That is understandable, but somewhere along, there was a miscommunication, and the address number was mixed up as if via dyslexia ("1050 W. 5th" as opposed to 1005), causing no end of initial inconvenience... OOPS!) Anyhow, once settled in, I found my apartment to be acceptable. Clean, comfortable, cozy, with some nice amenities. I am unable to comment on the exercise facilities, as I never used them during my brief stay, but the courtyard pool facilities were decent. It is unfortunate that for a significant portion of the duration of my stay, the pool was closed for maintenance/construction. My greatest remaining qualm is that some of the construction within the apartment units is a bit sloppy. I suppose this is an issue common to the trendy new luxury apartments. Construction is often rushed and/or drastic cost-cutting measures are taken. My specific issues were with the hardwood flooring, the trim, and poorly assembled sliding glass shower doors. At least the apartment was responsive in fixing that latter issue. While there are plenty of minor issues to complain about, on balance, my stay (August 2020 - March 2022) was a pleasant one. Location is their greatest strength, being right in the middle of everything on Fifth Avenue. The easily affordable rent for relatively luxurious accommodations was also a virtue, though it helps that Columbus, OH enjoys such a low cost of living.

This is a wonderful property. There are technically two sides to it one or your standard apartments the other ones the big building that has more of a city feel. The View On Fifth lives up to its name the matter where you live you have a good view of something some units have views of downtown skyline others have a few of the Ohio State football stadium there's even one where you can see most of the seats in the stadium. This property also has several restaurants built underneath it as well as beauty shops and more.Located in between the two properties is a decent size dog park with dog wash station I'm not kidding this is like a car wash with the dogs. There is also a parking garage that is very reasonably priced however you can get your ticket validated at the store or shop you were going to which makes it free within a certain amount of time

This place is only getting worse. I second everything everyone says about the walls being thin. My upstairs neighbors footsteps are heard throughout the day and night. I have no idea how they can charge so much for such poorly constructed apartments. The paint is literally falling off of my walls. The ceiling is not straight. The wood floors are already coming up. There was black and brown mold in my closet. That was/is the biggest hassle of my life. They still will not give me proper repayment. DO NOT GET TRICKED INTO LIVING HERE!

This management is poor. The guy called james is terrible. Doing all the document in a mess.

Been living here for a few months, so I'll start from the beginning. I made the initial call to make an appointment with the office and they were extremely flexible, given it was within their hours. I get there, the woman shows me the place, we tour it, I was impressed (It was a model unit, though, so go figure). It was toward the end of the work day so she didn't say much of anything during the tour, giving any information, or anything like that. However, she did have an answer to every question I asked. We like it. We move in. On move in day, I walk into the unit and it wasn't cleaned, and there was a few very minor things wrong. We made a complaint, and continued moving in. The office was always prompt in communication, always answered the phone, and remembered people by name - so that is nice. The cleaning was as simple as a dirty floor and other spot cleaning, so I didn't think much of it and did it myself. They were nice enough to give me a few dollars on my rent back, so no hard feelings. Since moving in, the walls are quite thin, as well as the floors. I hear foot steps constantly and apparently my neighbors can hear my music from time to time. Parking is tough if you want to have people over, but there are many ways around it. I chose to live in an urban area so I understand that parking will be sparse, and so do my guests. Not living a pipe dream over here.So, there are a few hiccups, but overall I am quite happy. The apartments are open and spacious. The appliances are new. The decor is modern. Maintenance requests are completed within 48 hours, at most. The office always picks up and is quite friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic for someone who frequents Grandview, DT, short north, German village, etc. Access to 315 is very easy so getting to work is no problem.Besides a annoyance here or there, which were easily resolved, this place is sweet. That's all.

If I could give this place 0 stars that would still be too many. I can not say enough how much I do not recommend living here. It has been NOTHING but issues since the day my roommates and I moved in.

Was sold on this as a building for young professionals...it is anything but that. Walls are thin and neighbors are constantly having parties with thumping bass and yelling. There was a security guard that used to deal with these types of things, but per the property manager "due to some contractual items," that guard no longer exists. This noise presents a problem because my fiancee is a resident physician and has to get to sleep early to be at the hospital at some insanely early hour.It seems that since the guard left, things have gone downhill quickly. The stairwells are full of empty beer cans and dog feces...and I can tell you that the same cans and dog crap have been there for weeks.Management was responsive initially to requests with our unit, likely due to the hurried construction, but the responsiveness has cooled significantly. Parking is priced outrageously at $100 per month PER CAR. The only reason for this is for the property owner to line his/her pockets. You are forced into using Time Warner for your cable/internet and NEP for water/sewer/electric. The gym and common areas are very nice, don't get me wrong....but the pool does get packed on nice days with bros drinking poolside. The washer/dryers in the unit are also full size and very nice.If you are looking for a more young professional environment, you could do a lot better for your money. If you are looking to continue your college years and don't mind the situation outlined above because of the location, this is the place for you.

DO NOT LIVE HERE. The worst place to live in Columbus!! Walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors conversation. Several of the apartments are rented out as Airbnb's. The people who rent these apartments throw parties constantly during their stay. I have called the Columbus non emergency number several times now because the noise has been so bad during the week. Even better, these apartments are being rented out for $69 a night. Doesn't really seem right when my roommate and I are paying $1600+ to live here.... Management has done nothing about this issue. They claimed they had "no idea" these apartments were on Airbnb. I feel like I'm living on fraternity row....

Fantastic place to live with great location, staff and amenities! I've been at the view for over 4 years and love it!
