Foothill Place

Honestly, I don’t understand the negative reviews. This apartment complex is so fun to live in. GREAT location and the staff is extremely nice. We always receive updates regarding when the water will be shut down or any updates that are needed to be addressed. They put out monthly little newsletter type letters outside our door each month and I love it. The staff is nice, ALTHOUGH, there has been a few times where the girls who work there in the office aren’t willing to help and they look irritated to help. Other than that, this place has been great to live in and the location is wonderful for my fiancé and I.

We have lived at this complex for almost 4 years and changed apartments once. We have consistently paid rent on time. So far this is what we received in return for paying 1000+ every month:
— upped rent every year for being good tenants
— when we moved to a bigger apartment, we had movers help us. We wanted wood floors and working washer and dryers. When we moved in, and asked why they didn’t put in the wood floors (50 $ extra/​month) and then were told we should have the movers move everything upstairs so they can put the floors in (which would have cost a lot more since they work per hour per person) and then told it was our problem, not theirs. Then the washer and dryer in the unit was broken after the first load of laundry and leaked into the person below us.
— in the same apartment our bath tub leak into the kitchen from above, we have asked 3 times for them to fix it, and have not yet… it’s been a 1 ½.
— they towed one of our vehicles because «it was too far sticking out» which was during the winter with about half of the spots taken up by terrible snow removal (if you’d even call it that)
— both of our vehicles have been broken into 7 times together. No notices, no extra security after seeing a lot of cars with Windows bashed in.
— numerous belongings, packages have been stolen. And their response is «I’m sorry»
— there is NO safe feeling here
This is THE WORST place to live. It’s way over priced, staff is terrible in the leasing office, and cars get constantly broken into, motorcycles get stolen. It’s terrible. DO NOT EVER MOVE HERE. The only upside is the location, and you pay out the ass for it.

I just currently moved out of my apartment at foothill place after a great year. Devin got me into my apartment and was fantastic and Vanessa checked me out and she was equally great to work with. They kept me updated with monthly newsletters and text messages. I was always made aware of changes and important dates. I couldn’t help but read reviews and many were negative but believe me they work with you and helped me with anything I had problems with. Very clean and always have someone on call for emergencies. I lives alone the majority of the time and felt more than safe.
Thank you foothill place
I would definitely recommend this apartment complex!

I’ve lived in foothill place from 2002 – 2008. Back then it was owned by a different company the staff was beyond amazing. They truly were great and always cared for their residents. Rent was very reasonable at that time. I’ve lived on the 3^rd floor which was a plus for not having anyone above me which means better quality of sleep. The walls are very thin there. You can here every step the person above you takes. The pool is nice. Specially during summer times. Very fun and you meet lots of people. The location is fantastic. Just right by the freeway. Very close to the University of Utah (which I was attending) and close to just about anything you may need. Right after I moved out though, things were changing. Even though I moved out, I still was visiting many of my friends who were still living there. Rent started to go way up high. The management completely changed and it was a brand new staff. A lot of new charges have been added. Noise started becoming the number one complain with many resident. A lot of cars were getting broken into. And I can tell every time I visited that things were going downhill. So for the most part I totally enjoyed living at foothill place apartments but then again this was before the rent went way up and before they started adding all these new charges and before the management changed. The location is still one of the best but the apartments seem to be a thing of the past specially with the booming apartment communities that are being built in the Salt Lake City area.

Worst place ever!!! I recently moved from AZ to Utah. From the all the apartments that I visited, which were 7, this was the worst. Their customer service sucks! I called and they gave me options over the phone in regards to what they had available. I made an appointment that same day to tour the place and they said they were excited to have me go visit. I show up and the lady at the desk looks so confused «Do you have an appointment?» And «I don’t have you on our book»… Why does that even matter? You are in customer service, take care of me. Isn’t that why you get paid anyways? She only gave me one option and said she would have time to tour me around the facility If I went back in three days. That lady needs to be trained in customer service skills and controlling her non-​verbals as she looked confused the whole time I was sitting at her desk. I wish I would have written her name down, but I didn’t. As you enter the leasing office she sits on the first desk on the left side, this might help management identify the individual.

Looking at other reviews for this apartment complex I wonder how they could possibly be describing Foothill Place. I’m a current resident and have lived here since Nov of 2012. I have had nothing but good experiences and my girlfriend and I are proud to call Foothill Place home.
I will admit I was skeptical at first. There are a lot of seemingly asinine fees (non-​refundable deposit, parking, etc) but I feel like rent was reasonable enough that these did not matter.
I’ve never had any of the problems that others have described. I’ve had multiple maintenance issues come up during my 1.5 year stay as anyone could expect. These were always addressed promptly on the next day if not the same day that they were reported. I’ve had nothing but great encounters with staff and management and they have been more than helpful to me. I got a referral bonus for referring my friend to Foothill when I would have gladly done so for free.
I’ve NEVER had any problems with noise as I feel that the apartments are laid out so that there is space between you and your neighbors. This was, at least, the case with my residence.
The only possible negatives are that there is often dog poop all over the grass but I guess that’s what you get when you live somewhere that is as pet friendly as Foothill is. Not a big deal. It also is not very walkable but again, I knew that when I chose the location as I’m a fan of the close proximity to freeways and the U of U. If you’re a young adult this is about as good as it gets as far as I’m concerned. I moved from run down, older, poorly managed apt. that will not be named near downtown SLC. The pool probably is not as family friendly as something you’d get in Sandy but again. Location.

This place is the worst place I’ve been in. In addition to loud music and filthy common areas, management has proved to be the most unprofessional I’ve dealt with.
First red flag was when I turned in my application, they requested a «deposit“of $ 300. Without many questions I paid just to find out later that it was a one time fee for their lawyers to do a background check on me and process my application. They didn’t bother to tell me an important detail that this «deposit» is a one time fee.
I turned in my key two weeks before my lease expired. During these two weeks, they have gone into my apartment to clean it and left the AC running at all times which caused my Rocky Mountain bill to be significant higher than normal. When I showed them my evidence they simply didn’t even want to consider my facts, it’s like I was talking to some idiots.
I was a perfect tenant for them, paid all my rent on time, no pets, no parties, and they didn’t even bother to show some courtesy and listen. If you are looking for a place, go somewhere else, this place is not worth your time.

Foothill Place Apartments is the worst complex I have ever lived in. Not only are the management generally incompetent (we had maintenance enter our apartment without knocking and without notice), but perhaps more importantly, the safety of the complex is seriously subpar. I’ve lived in large, crime ridden cities (even across the street from halfway houses) and have never felt so unsafe as in foothill place. Furthermore, when I contacted managers to express my safety concerns (after a number of troubling incidents), and they generally brushed aside my opinions, citing that it was not their responsibility to keep me safe. In the four months we have lived here, around 20 cars (that we’ve seen) have been broken into. Mind you, I pay $ 950 for a one bedroom, which is quite alot in SLC. The owners are not readily willing to invest in external locks for the complex, because it would cost approximately 10 months of rent, for 10 apartments (in a several hundred apartment complex). In spite of the fact that this is not an official «breach of contract» of the complex, I feel that keeping their residents safe should be a significant priority, and it doesn’t seem to be.
In regards to the other living aspects…
Their pool is nice, but it is a little cold (the pool furniture is the nicest i’ve seen in apartments). The hot tub is generally filled with college students making out (not necessarily the fault of the complex), and the workout facility needs better HVAC. I haven’t been able to locate the recycling bins in the complex, but trash seems to be easily accessible. Parking is generally good, so long as you have an overhang spot, which is limited to one spot per unit (costs $ 20 per month). The dog park seems nice, but I don’t have a dog, so it’s not beneficial for me. The location is great. The interiors also look fairly nice, and we don’t have a remodeled version; however, our stove is rather dated, but still works.
Needless to say, we will be moving the moment our lease is up, at which time we will be probably be required to pay a mass amount of fees.
