I've been living at the Hive since August 2021, back when it was called Victory on Ellendale.
The Victory brand owned the Ellendale property until February 2022. The management was amazing. They took time to build personal connections with the residents, hosted events for us, and were very easy to communicate about all issues.
The apartments themselves are really nice. Bedrooms are decent but a little small but the common area is really big. It's modern, newly renovated, and comes with all furniture and utilities included.
Then, in February, Champion Real Estate sold Victory on Ellendale to the new property management, The Hive. The new management is alright but not nearly as good as Victory and far more disconnected from residents. There is construction going on so a lot of noise and they leave the gate open, which makes the area unsafe.
My main complaint is with how the transition between companies was handled, which I guess is Champion's fault more than anything. On the 1st of Feb (when our rent was due), the property management change was thrust on us with no notice, and we had to readjust and lose our old management.
