Bridges at Citifront

The only positive comment I can give these apartments is great location and a good floor plan. Here’s the poor comments: irresponsible management, poor maintenance (trash, heavy amount of dog droppings, nothing gets fixed or maintained, dangerous, poorly lit parking garage, numerous lights out throughout property). Drug use common on property. Listed as a gated, secure community– it’s not… gate rarely works, numerous building doors broken, homeless people roam property. The property inside the common areas is dirty and embarrassing. Not worth it. Look elsewhere.

This apartment is a joke, mangers are unreasonable, once I accidentally opened their office door by the key they gave to me when i moved in, they just took my key and said: u are not freaking suppose to open this door. Oh like I wanted to open and steal your shit? Then they gave me a new one. ok, when I back my home at 9:00 pm. The key they gave me after that didn’t work!!! I’ve been waiting someone to open for me for 2 hours. They didn’t say a word they are sorry about it. As long as u move in this apartment, u are nothing but their personal ATM. They can give note for asking cash about «someone» complain about our loud voices. Yeah, fuck that, we don’t even use our tv and speakers. Oh and they are not selling parting spots for old residents. They said they don’t have it, lmao, there are at least half spots are available.

For the start of this year, buildings’ fire alarm always sound at mid of the night, lot of people have to get from their bed and go to parking garage. This is really killing everybody, but, mangers didn’t say a word when we asked them, I guess we can’t charge them for ruining our nights. Some of building are smells like shit, they got nobody to clean for us.

Hallways stink terribly, gate to garage is always broken, car got stolen from our own assigned parking, tow truck HELL, absolutely no parking ever. Management never returns pone calls or emails or wants to help out with any sort of dispute. Extremely unsatisfied with their communication and obeying lease. Horrible place to live

I don’t live at Bridges, I’m over at Citifront next door, which has the same management. I’ve really enjoyed living here the last 4 months. People talk about break ins and whatnot, but I’m a single mid-​20s woman and I’ve never had any issues on the property. I guess a lot of people who give bad reviews probably never lived too far from Utah before. I’ve lived all over (DC, Cleveland, Tulsa, Orlando, England, Palestine, and others) and I can say I’ve felt more safe on these properties than I ever did out of state. I think this kind of thing is more about perspective. The management has always been delightful with me. My friend who lives at Bridges knew he was going to be a few days late for rent, so he went down to the office a few days before it was due to let them know, and he didn’t get any late fees. Mine were waived one month when there was confusion about what had happened with my check. If you are polite with management, they will be good to you. There has also been an increase in security due to complaints (which I think mostly stem from the close proximity to the shelter) and the security guards are all very efficient. I spend a lot of time with my friends at Bridges, and none of them have ever complained, and they and I have all had great experiences. Just remember that most of the time if someone uses Unilocal to review something that provides services rather than restaurants, it’s usually going to be a negative review. You really should only take the negatives on these kind of reviews for about i out of every 5.

These apartments are a joke. They don’t provide sufficient parking for their tenants and have a contract with a towing company to tow people at any opportunity. Retail parking is 2 hours but you’ll get towed even after business hours staying more than two hours like my roommate did at 3AM parking there at 1AM. My registered vehicle, with a temporary registration tag in the back window for proof, was towed from my assigned parking space within the garage. Proof of valid registration didn’t save me from paying $ 225 to get it out two days later since they towed me on the weekend. Garbages aren’t available outside of business hours for tenants on ground level. By morning, the garbages are taken to be picked up so there are piles and piles of trash bags by the walkway until noon or later. It’s disgusting. The playground for kids is pathetic. There’s dog poop everywhere because no one keeps the grounds regularly and tenants aren’t penalized for not cleaning up after their pets. When I moved in I told management my carpets were soiled with dog urine and it stunk but they blew me off so I’ve gone 6 months here now with the most embarrassing carpet. I would not renew my contract with this place even if they lowered my rent.

This is my fair and honest review of Bridges at Citifront. I was looking for an apartment downtown. So I found this one and I stopped by their office. I was shown a nice one bedroom apartment. It seemed to fit all my needs. I was NOT TOLD about the damn train that goes on all day and night. It was a true nightmare. I started moving in my stuff the day I signed the lease. And as I was moving in, I can hear the train being EXTREMELY LOUD!!! So I thought o well it probably runs throughout the day time only which I’m not home during the day anyways. I WAS WRONG!!! I came from work the following day and I was so tired. Went to bed and started having ANXIETY and absolutely no chance of falling a sleep at all. Specially being sensitive sleeper anyways. The damn train makes all kinds of noises at 2 am 3 am 4 am etc. it was just unbelievable. The management never informed about the train and yet she was telling me how wonderful that particular apartment was and that it’s the best out of all the available ones. So after not being able to sleep for basically 2 nights, I went and talked to them. And it was «not their fault» and the only solution I had was to find another person to takeover my lease. I was seriously in a bad position. I didn’t know anyone who would want to move in there. So I explained to them my whole story. Finally they decided that I can transfer to a different apartment and hopefully the noise was not so bad. They transferred me to the other side which was a lot better but it was basically facing the free way. So you hear free way cars all the time. I mean who on earth builds a freakin apartment complex, facing a damn train from one side, a trax from the other side and a freeway from another side. It’s the worst location for a residential area. Horrible location. Then they started charging for parking. It was free and then became $ 50 freakin bucks a month for one spot. Visitor parking was also a nightmare. Every time I had a visitor they had to spend about 20 – 30 minutes till they could find a spot. Sometimes they couldn’t find a spot at all. So bottom line is, the actual apartment is decent. The location is horrible. And the management was not the best at all. Stay away and good luck.

Management: I lived here in 2013 and now I’ve moved back in. The old management was horrible (as you can see in the below reviews). But this new management really is amazing. Taylor and Summer in the office are really helpful!
Th apartments: the open kitchen/​living room style is the main reason I chose bridges. The floor plan is wonderful for entertaining guests as you cook. The overall design is modern and comfortable.
The amenities: the guy is a little small (but I hear there are rumors to expand it out, here is me praying for a yoga room too). There is an out door pool and the hot tub is open year round. The parking garage is nice and very secure. Plus no cleaning off your car in the winter!
Overall if find bridges to be a nice community to live in, with its close proximity to downtown and the friendliness of the tenants. 5 stars.

Good apartments. Great price.

This is the most poorly run apartment complex I’ve ever lived in. The location is in such a bad spot, my unit was constantly getting shaken by the highway or the train that blocks you in at least 10 times a day. For a 3 bed apartment you get 1 parking spot per unit otherwise you have street parking under the overpass where our cars have broken into numerous times and bums are passed out all over the grass in the morning. There is no guest parking which is probably best because you can not have more than 2 people in these units at the same time because the walls and floors are so thin that you get a 250 $ notice for noise past 10 pm on weekends for walking in your own unit (don’t rent on the top floor or you’ll pay) addressing issues with the leasing office is about as amazing as talking to a brick wall, the young man working in the main office made us feel bad about getting off his cell phone to «deal with a tenant» and has quoted himself as «heartless» summer is the only one keeping this management terable. There are no washer and dryers for tenants, you can’t pick up packages past 6, the elevators are typically broke, maintenance is non existent, leaky ceilings, moldy showers… ext. Also if you take over a lease on here BEWARE!!! They chose not to address the fact of the revolving door which is most units and charge you out the ass for issues 9 months prior?! Long story short if you like paying useless fines, dealing with the worst management company on earth, and notes on your door weekly about fines they have no proof for… this is a great place. My only advice is STAY AWAY THEY ARE THEVES!!!

I lived at Bridges from May 2013 through November 2013. The location isn’t the best and yes –that’s why the place is locked down like a prison, but I really enjoyed my unit. This is not City Creek –the finishes are very contractor stock and the floors are not real hardwood, but they are clean and well kept. The common areas are cleaned regularly (hallways, gym, pool, clubhouse) and management makes it a point to plan community events (Come down to the pool for free food/​drinks for National Pizza Day!” etc) which is fun for families or those who are new to town.
I had a problem with a neighbor, who was clearly a drunk college student throwing a move-​in party at 3 AM on a Wednesday. I reported her to management the next day, who issued a 3 day pay or vacate fine for yelling expletives from her balcony. That’s the type of response I really appreciate as a young professional who needs to get up for work in the mornings.
Parking used to be included in rent, but is now a separate fee. It’s set at $ 50/​month at present. The gate in the garage is not always 100% operational, which bothered me bc of the number of car break-​ins in that area. In any case, I recommend getting a parking spot on a higher level in the garage. On the occassions I parked on the street, once there was broken glass EVERYWHERE the next morning. The second time, there was a homeless person smoking crack under the bridge a dozen yards away. That being said, as a single woman in her 20s living alone, there was never really a time when I felt unsafe living there.
From what I can gather, there’s a variety of tenants… there are units with maybe 8 – 10 people stuffed into a 3 bedroom (younger people in the service industry who can’t afford to buy extra key tags to get into the building). There are young families who frequent the pool in the summers –I invited a friend & her daughter over to the pool and she was able to make friends with other kids playing. There are 2 bed units that 4 college students live in, and a number of young professional couples. It’s down the street from the Trapp and not too far from Jamm as well, so there’s a gay crowd presence.
The on-​site coffee shop is actually kind of delightful, and definitely convenient. It’s beyond easy to get to I-​15 and the airport is a 10 minute drive even if you follow the speed limit. I never made a habit out of driving too far west… but Bridges is convenient to a number of grocery stores and drive thru’s to the west and higher end businesses to the east.

These apartments are nice, but the place is locked down like a prison. You have to have a card to scan to get through every door, to get into the elevator. The big heavy doors are unlabeled very confusing to get around here.
Given the area, I appreciate added security, but it’s a little overkill if you ask me.

I used to love living here, but in the last 6 months there has been a terrible change in management. As the review below me suggests, there are hidden fees for everything. Bridges at Citifront are solely in the business to screw young people who have nowhere else to go. Many of us tenants who were there before the management change have decided to move out. The prices have risen, and frankly the apartments are not that nice. They try to tell you that they change their rent rates daily with «the market» but that is not true. The prices continually go up, and never down. The worst problem of all is the management. They are unwilling to try and work problems out with the tenants. I received several letters saying that they were fining me and it was non-​negotiable. The problem is that they never gave warnings or even a comprehensive statement of what the rules are. I would highly recommend that if you are looking for an apartment in Salt Lake City, look elsewhere.

Well, it’s not the worst place I’ve ever lived. I moved to Salt Lake recently go to grad school at the U and signed the lease sight unseen. Yeah, I know, bad idea, but I was out of options and time. There are plenty of good things about this place which I’ll start with, but don’t be duped by the pretty pictures on their website. For every upside, there is a hidden downside. The verdict? Not terrible, but you can probably do better.
The good: The buildings at Bridges are brand new. Built in 2009 or 2010 I think. Since the land must have been free (I’ll explain this later), they spent some money on the décor, which is pretty nice. Granite counter tops in the kitchen, decent wood cabinets, birch plyco flooring in the living area, and large printed tiles in the bathroom (these actually look good). A parking space is included with the rent. Pets are allowed, but a pet deposit, only half refundable, AND pet rent is required. They charge $ 25 per pet per month so it does add up. There is a nice and well maintained pool and hot tub. However, don’t think of entertaining friends there because you’re not allowed food or drink or more than one guest per unit. Also if you like going to the mall, the Gateway is a 10 minute walk. Downtown is 20 minute walk and Pioneer park is only about 15. But as walkable as it is, you have to go through a pretty sketchy area to get anywhere worth going. There is a small business area catercorner to the buildings that has a decent coffee shop, a salon, and a mini-​mart. The rent isn’t terrible for a brand new apartment. I’m paying ~1100 for fairly spacious a two bedroom, two bathroom unit. The staff is pleasant, but stretched thin.
The bad: This place is literally sandwiched between the train tracks and the elevated highway. I don’t mean the Trax tracks. I mean union pacific 80 car long tanker train tracks. These trains are LOUD and run very frequently. The elevated highway wall serves as a mirror to reflect all of this lovely sound directly into your thin-​walled apartment. And since the north temple bridge is still under construction, you will get stopped by a very long, very slow train about 20% of the time you try to go anywhere. The highway noise is also very unpleasant. Forget about opening the windows or using the balcony. It’s loud enough to interfere with conversations with just the window open. The staff seems fairly pleasant, but are notorious for leaving nasty-​grams taped to your door instead of just calling you when there is a problem. There is no in unit or building laundry so if you don’t want to go to sketcho-​mat down the street, you’ll need to rent them from a company called Appliance Warehouse for ~$ 35/​month. That’s not so bad, but I would consider it a hidden cost.
The ugly: Back to the location. I’ve been here for about a month and already my bike was stolen from the parking garage. Yes, it was chained up. This was an old bike which survived 3 years in Boston and many years on a college campus without being stolen and within a month here it’s gone. So long Rusty, I hope you found a good home. Also there were cops called to the building for a domestic disturbance recently. Not really the classy neighbors you’d expect at an upscale condo. And, this area is quasi-​ghetto. There’s a homeless shelter about two blocks away and the surrounding neighborhood is a mixture of well-​maintained houses and dumps with broken or boarded up windows and spray painted addresses on the walls. I think twice before I walk anywhere, especially at night. I’m not going to lie. It doesn’t feel safe. The location is why I think they got the land for free. Not sure who in their right mind would build luxury apartments in this spot…
So consider yourself informed. This place may seem like a good deal, but make sure you consider all angles before jumping in.
