The Fairmount at Oak Lawn Apartments
Leasing consultants Asia and Tamira earn consistent praise for patient, personalized service. The maintenance crew responds quickly and fixes problems right. However, a shift in management from Cortland to RPM a year ago brought billing disputes (residents report surprise fees appearing monthly), mounting security problems (multiple car break-ins on the parking garage floors with no action), and infrastructure failures (broken elevators, gate malfunctions). Long-term residents describe the location as beautiful but the value proposition collapsing under higher rent and deteriorating service. Units themselves remain attractive, and the grounds stay clean. The tension is stark: tour with a leasing consultant and you get a five-star experience; stay past 12 months and navigate escalating fees, unresponsive management, and safety worries that make the premium price hard to defend.
