I haven’t heard of any of the problems in any other building however the one I’m assigned is already settling. I was told that they were built in 2006. That’s still relatively new. The gates are always broken and in my unit it faces construction. It’s always noisy and everything breaks. I’m convinced my unit has water damage they keep brushing off. Great for if you own a pet but people don’t pick up after their dog. I loved their roommate matching system but that was about it.

1. Signing gift were AirPods. Mine were never set aside and they gave my roommate's away.

2. Got towed 3 times as a resident. Resident parking was full so I parked in Visitors and maintenance. Got towed.

3. On move-out day, I had a (1) thumbtack left in my wall. I was charged $160 for them to repaint the wall. (Even though thumbtacks are allowed).

4. Parents came in town to gift me with groceries. Detergent was stolen off their tailgate while walking to my room and back.

I lived here for two years. The first year was great, but my second year was not. The management changed over the summer, my rent went up (even though I renewed during a special where it should've stayed the same), the office employees are rude most of the time (and are constantly changing), and they don't upkeep all of their buildings. Certain floors in certain buildings are pressure washed (to remove the trash smell from the trash pickup in the halls), but mine never was. My building also... didn't get sprayed for bugs at all my second year, resulting in me having a roach problem that they tried to resolve by spraying ONLY my apartment. Not to mention my air went out and wasn't fixed for over a month. And if you get home anytime after 9PM during the week, good luck finding parking. The amenities are okay (but the pool is almost always dirty), but the only really great part about living here is being able to walk to class. I'm saving my money and living elsewhere next year.

Helix’s management is so dysfunctional and unprofessional that it makes it actual hell to live here. Our A/C has broken twice (and is still broken), the gates break frequently, our washer has been broken for over a week, and the staff is very unhelpful. If you want to live somewhere where the “amenities” are actually usable, don’t live here.

I advise anyone to not stay here! The staff has been completely changed from last year, even management. The staff are incompetent and uncaring about Helix residents. They will tell you anything to sign the lease and can not deliver! Helix rent is way more expensive than everyone else, and they don’t have the living experience to back it up.
