All of our... floorplans offer high-end features and sleek finishes, such as sliding barn doors, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom glass tile backsplashes, 42” custom cabinets, and glass showers with rainfall showerheads. At Met on 7th Apartments, you’ll experience an array of upscale amenities focused on comfort and luxury.

Residents will also enjoy our bark park and pet pampering spa, Connect Bar cyber cafe workspace with 24/7 unlimited WiFi, MetMart resident cafe, and resident lounge with a kitchen, billiards, and TVs. Met on 7th Apartments is community-driven with an ample amount of common space that builds friendships, not just neighbors.
I lived at Met on 7th for over two years and while the apartment itself, location, and maintenance team were excellent, the management experience was consistently disorganized and frustrating.
After a simple banking mistake on my end (after a perfect 2+ year payment history), I was told late fees would be removed—but that never happened in a timely manner. My online payment access was then permanently restricted despite providing proof and attempting to resolve the issue. Communication from the office was inconsistent, and at times difficult or impossible.
I received conflicting balances and even multiple eviction notices with different amounts after being instructed to pay a specific total. Billing errors, lack of clarity, and poor communication became a recurring issue throughout my lease and move-out process, including disputed final charges and changing refund amounts.
While individual staff members like maintenance (especially Mr. Ken and team) and a few office employees were professional and helpful, upper management decisions and communication practices were unreliable and stressful.
Overall, the property itself has strong potential, but management performance does not match the standard expected for a “luxury” apartment community. I would not recommend leasing here unless major improvements are made in communication, consistency, and accountability.
Property Manager Responded: ""Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recognizing the efforts of our staff members who were able to assist you throughout your residency. We are especially glad to hear that you enjoyed the apartment itself, the location, and the service provided by Ken and the maintenance team. We understand how frustrating payment-related concerns can feel, particularly after a long residency. While certain payment restrictions and notice processes are system-driven and required as part of company policy, we do recognize that the overall experience can still feel stressful when communication is not as clear as it should be. Our goal is always to provide accurate information, and a professional experience for our residents, and we are disappointed to hear that your experience did not consistently reflect those standards. Feedback like yours is important and helps us identify opportunities to improve. We appreciate the time you spent as a resident at Met on 7th and wish you the very best in your next home." "

Beware before moving!
Hi, I just want to leave this review to warn people before moving into the Met. I have lived here for 3 years & the first 2 years I had a wonderful experience aside from a couple of things but they were always open to listening & addressing the concerns. However, we have had several changes in management & it keeps going downhill.
1) The gates are broken 80% of the time.
2) String of thefts & cars being broken into & management never communicates on a wide spread level addressing the concerns. My car was broken into as well & had my belongings stolen out of it.
3) Courtesy officer is rarely on property as promised. Keep your expectations low.
4) Pool is not maintained consistently. It often turns swamp green & grows algae. Residents also trash the property.
5) Doors are left propped open for anyone on the street (homeless surround the area) for anyone to just walk in. This issue has picked up over the last couple of weeks & I was told by management that it is my responsibility to communicate to other residents to keep it closed & when I asked if the front office could at least do the bare minimum of sending an email out to everyone about this I was told “It could still happen” so basically there’s nothing they can do about it because they “can’t control what other people do.”
6) Trash valet has been a recent issue of it not being picked up
7) There are claims the complex is doing things to have a solution to these issues but again there’s no communication of solutions to residents or a timeline.
8) If you enjoy sitting on your balcony or leaving the screen door open be prepared to have cigarette & weed smoke enter into your apartment even though the property is “smoke free” but again I guess the management can’t control what people do so it is what it is.
Property Manager Responded: Madison, we are disappointed to see your time with us has not been more positive. We are disappointed to learn that our service and maintenance efforts in our community have not been up to your standards. We understand that management changes can pose frustrations for residents and we appreciate you giving us your honest feedback about what changes to the property have not been to your liking. Crime has no address and we encourage you to report to the local authorities if you see something suspicious. Our maintenance team works hard to keep our property in the best condition possible and the team members in our office want to provide residents with top-notch service. It's disheartening that our efforts have fallen short in your eyes, and we’d welcome you to come to our office to speak with us so we can address your concerns and help restore your faith in us. Thank you.

Once you get past the gunfire
Near to nightlife so random gunfire a normal thing around Saturday night 2am. Building has gone through several different managers and staff. Most of the staff try hard but it is a losing battle. Cost me hundreds to move out.
Property Manager Responded: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're disheartened to see that your experiences were anything less than exemplary. Rest assured that although our team has changed hands, we are proud that our group of professionals has stepped in to pave the way for our manager, Scott, who comes to Met on 7th with several years of experience with Maxus. As your review is anonymous we invite you to reach out to residents@maxusprop.com with any additional details that might help us serve our community better.

Hope you like alarms
Prepare to deal with more middle of the night fire alarms than the average college dorm, at least once a month you’ll be rudely awakened to the piercing sound of the apparently very sensitive fire alarm- nothing like getting to know your neighbors on the sidewalk at 3am-, and if you’re lucky you might get to experience an actual fire where they kick you out for multiple months while leading you on to think that you’ll be back in any week now
Property Manager Responded: Thank you for sharing your review of Met on 7th. We are unable to determine which current or previous resident shared this feedback, but are still disheartened to know that we haven't earned your satisfaction. Please reach out to residents@maxusprop.com to share details of your experience.
