Mariemont Townhomes

We love it here for many reasons; we moved here for the school district initially. The neighborhood is absolutely magnificent, clean, & safe- worth the expense of living in this town. The charm of almost- 100 year old buildings does come with expected maintenance needs; the first 8 months we were here there was a different property manager, and we would’ve moved on due to so many ignored calls and emails, and complete lies about rates on bigger units. It was really distressing. Then they hired someone new, and our experience had turned completely around.nBelinda goes above and beyond for us and all of her tenants. She is honest. She is quick to respond to any issue. But more than that, she CARES about every single person in every single home. She’s upfront and accurate about how long things will take to fix, she always checks in on the work while it’s being done, and makes sure that everything has been taken care of - I just don’t know if we’d even have stayed if she hadn’t come along. She’s the kind of person you’d WANT in charge of where you live. We love it here.

I requested a Friday 5pm showing because that’s all they had available, however, they said someone was on vacation that day and that I would need to come Thursday at 5 instead. I rushed across to town to get there, just to learn that the office staff scheduled me for FRIDAY. The day they said they COULD NOT do a showing. She didn’t even make an exception and come show it to me, because it would go past 5:30. Even though it was due to THEIR foolish mistake. Ridiculous. If this is any indication to how they manage property then steer clear.

These rental townhomes managed by CMC in Mariemont seem too good to be true because they are. Sadly, CMC rails into young professionals with undue final hardships and are constantly stripping away the everyday joys of living in Mariemont. No matter how many places you’ve rented and left on excellent terms and received your deposit back with compliments of how immaculate you’ve left the vacancy, they will keep your deposit. And this is on top of consistently leaky roofs, unexpected contractors entering your home, or changes to your house or living situation not only without prior conversation but with none ever. If you dare complain, no matter how rational you are, they’ll make you feel like you have unreasonable expectations and provide no solution or compensation. Imagine not having hot water in your shower the first two months of winter. Or when the plumber is finally out, CMC charging you for the hole the plumber leaves behind in the dry wall. I wish we were the only ones with our experience. But in the short time we rented, we went through 4 managers. And they all complained. All of our neighbors would leave 1 by 1 because of some absurd situation CMC put them in. It was so disheartening. Not all of the Mariemont Historic Townhomes are managed by CMC or owned by Richard Booth so take the time to find the other landlords. It’s so apparent that others actually landlord with dignity.
