ReNew Wichita

Spencer Thomas a month ago

The guide was very kind and helpful for the entirety of the tour and on-boarding process. She alleviated my anxieties and answered all my questions. I appreciate her professionalism, her kind assurances and mindfulness during my introduction to this apartment. The property brings me peace of mind. PS: to any potential residents, buy/bring your own router if you want wifi (TP-Link is fine).

I lived at Renew Wichita for four years, and unfortunately I would not recommend it. The property presents itself as a luxury apartment community, but my experience was very different. During my time there, I witnessed constant management turnover, recurring issues with trash chutes being broken, hallways that were often humid or unpleasant-smelling, and a persistent odor of marijuana in common areas. The hallway carpets frequently appeared stained and worn, which only added to the overall feeling that maintenance and upkeep were not priorities. One of the more disturbing experiences was seeing blood in an elevator after a reported assault involving a former employee. While management cannot control every incident that occurs on a property, it contributed to an overall feeling that the building was not as safe or well-managed as advertised. The utility costs were another major disappointment. The insulation appears to be poor because you can feel extreme temperatures inside your apartment. In the winter, the cold comes through the walls, and in the summer, the heat does the same. As a result, electric bills can become surprisingly expensive. The pool is heavily featured in marketing materials, but in my experience it was rarely open or functioning properly. Even when available, it felt more decorative than practical. If amenities are a major reason you’re considering this property, I would strongly suggest asking current residents about their experiences first. Especially since this “pool” was deep enough to just soak your feet in. My biggest frustration came after move-out. I spent significant time cleaning the apartment, including mopping, scrubbing surfaces, cleaning the stove and microwave, and even carpet cleaning. Despite those efforts, I was charged a full cleaning fee. The reasons given included sauce packets left in a drawer, a washer that supposedly needed additional cleaning, and drawers that allegedly weren’t wiped down sufficiently. It felt as though my extensive cleaning efforts were completely disregarded. The apartments look attractive at first glance, but much of the cabinetry and finishes feel inexpensive once you actually live with them. The community markets itself as upscale, yet many areas of the property feel neglected. Between the maintenance issues, utility costs, management turnover, amenity concerns, and move-out charges, the experience never matched the premium price being charged. There are better options in Wichita for the money.

Nice little studio. They did a thorough cleaning before I moved in. Had an easy time moving in. People at the front office are wicked nice and helpful. Only thing i thought was odd was each apartment didn't have an assigned packing spot? Or maybe it did? Had wait aboot a month to get a spot in the garage in my building. Still no problems parking in the other building. 9/10 would recommend. They also fix issues within 2 days when I report them.

I absolutely adore living at ReNew Wichita. I have lived in NYC, Los Angeles, and Hawaii, all amazing locations. And yet, ReNew is by far my favorite housing experience. Kim, Whitney, and Michael in the office are awesome. They are very warm, attentive, and professional. They respond super quickly to any requests or questions. Jim, the head of Maintenance, is also super friendly and very skilled. The apartment is beautiful, clean, classy and in a really lovely part of Wichita. In 10 minutes, I can walk to the river and be in nature, and I am in within walking distance to the juice bar and coffee shops. I didn't think I would stay in Wichita for very long, but ReNew is causing me to rethink this!

My brother and I have lived here for almost a year now, and we've absolutely loved it! The staff are all such kind and helpful people. Maintenance is FANTASTIC. They're super fast and do a really good job. The lounge is gorgeous, well lit, and super cozy. Perfect place to bring a coffee and do homework. Mail is super straightforward, and the Luxer lockers for packages give me a lot of peace of mind! Overall, I've felt really comfortable and safe living here, and I'm sad to be leaving soon. I highly recommend living here to anyone who's looking for a convenient downtown location ☺️
