Brickell West City Rentals

Went for an apartment tour, had a conversation with IRIS before. We left even without to see the apartment since her approach was so disrespectful and rude.

I live here and it is really good and quiet, it feels like a very peaceful place. Iris Reyes is a very kind person, she is always attentive to everything. About the building, I recommend living here.

Great experience! Leasing manager and staff are very welcoming. If you’re looking for a friendly environment i would highly recommend giving Brickell West a shot!

This is the best place to live, the amenities are amazing and the manager is very nice.

Had a great experience applying for a lease with West Brickell City Rentals. Iris from the management team was a delight throughout the whole process. It was my first time applying for my own place and she couldn’t have made it easier! The building is beautiful, lots of hotel style amenities. Super dog friendly, which is a major plus. Doggie park, is great for real quick access. Gym is 24hrs, gated parking. And you’re in the heart of Miami being right by the river. With sunset views towards the Marlins Stadium on one side and night skyline views of downtown on the other. You can’t ask for more. I would definitely recommend to a friend. Hope this review helps anyone interested, thank you!

Went on a tour with family members to look at a rental unit, a lady named iris was showing us around and made extremely disrespectful comments towards my children and family. Feel bad for the people who have to deal with her on a daily basis. This company needs to look for a new employee before this lady gets them sued.

The manager Iris is excellent at her job! Literally this building is excellent in every way super clean the meeting room barbecue area and pool are spectacular and the fact that they have visitor parking is amazing.

Been living here for 6 months now and grateful for a well-managed place to live! Management: Iris is wonderful. The concierges are all very helpful. The maintenance crew is always quick and effective. The building is well taken care of, and the amenities are great. Glad there's free parking for visitors as well! While rent is overall high being in Miami, they offer a good discount in their heroes program. My utilities come out to about $60/m for internet (has to be Hotwire per the building), $35 +/- 5 for electricity, and $14 +/- 2 for water.
Safety: I feel totally safe here, and don't worry about my car either both for break ins or flooding since the garage is elevated.
Neighborhood: Mostly residential, small bodega-type places on the corner but otherwise not much to do walking. It's very conveniently located to get to most anywhere in Miami in a decent amount of time! The only annoying thing is the bridge on 7th which takes a longer time than other bridges to come back down.
Design: This is where I take the most issue with the apartments - they're poorly designed. There is a lot of space in the 1 bedroom (around 800 sq ft) and yet only one small walk in closet, and even that has unnecessary shelving that takes up precious hanger space. I have boxes out in the open because there's no hidden storage space to put them within the apartment. There could also be more built in wall storage like a medicine cabinet. There is a ceiling fan in the living room but not the bedroom, and the living room balcony sliding door is well sealed for sound but the bedroom window is not. The blackout shades in the bedroom aren't cut to the right size so there's always light coming in. I can't imagine living in the 1b1b with more than one person with the limited amount of closet space available. There is also no pantry or garbage disposal. However, the view from the apartment is amazing - from the pool, you have a sunset view. I do wish I lived on the river facing side though to see the city better! Not sure how that side is with noise though which is why Iris recommended poolside for me.
Some cons: As some other reviews mention, there is sometimes dog urine (and one time poop!!! 😬) in the elevators, usually only the back one. I'm not a dog owner, so I'm not sure how best to mitigate that issue. Also sometimes smoke smell in the hallways, not sure how it is for tenants living directly adjacent to someone who smokes. Noise is sometimes an issue - I'm facing the pool, but they are good about making sure no one is out there after 11, but sometimes people have random parties on their balconies in the middle of the night on a weekday. Sound isn't really an issue from neighbors (above or sides), just from the balconies and hallway. The trash chute is convenient on each floor, but I wish the opening were larger because I have trouble fitting my standard size trash bag into the chute. It makes sense that some residents place their trash in the chute room since it might not fit. The utilities in the apartment are a bit dated and unnecessarily loud - the microwave will beep repeatedly within less than 15 seconds of the first beep, for example. Same with the washer and dryer when they're done. It's also difficult to open the microwave, and it sometimes short circuits so I have to reset the breaker.
Overall: Happy that I'm living here since management and safety are the most important things to me. If I were living in Miami for longer, I might move to a more happening neighborhood, but I know that would be more expensive and might come at the cost of good management and increased noise.

I moved from Houston to Miami in January and best decision I ever made iris made the process smooth as butter. I’ve been at Brickell West for about 9 months and I truly can’t complain. Iris the community manager is and has been outstanding from day one. Shes always super helpful and literally a call away for any questions or concerns I have. The place is beautiful, spotless, super neat ,and they’re always cleaning everything is exactly as described. Highly recommend living here at Brickell West with Iris!!! She is a DOLL inside and out !
