I've lived in both, Vantage for ~4 years, and Haus25 for a few months.

Vantage Pros:

  1. Community is better
  2. Quieter/family-oriented area
  3. Good maintenance (fast, and efficient)
  4. Generally good management

Vantage Cons:

  1. Overpriced for an older building (probably negotiable if you're signing upfront) -- applicable to Vantage 1 only
  2. Many amenities are getting pretty... worn.
  3. Elevators are almost always down
  4. Took forever to respond to lantern bug infestation
  5. Garage car break-ins are a common theme

Haus25 Pros:

  1. Newer building, newer amenities
  2. Great location (closer to PATH and restaurants)
  3. More amenities (gym is actually useable, common workspaces are more functional and open, lots of space)
  4. Very clean (always people cleaning every morning)
  5. Maintenance and management are great

Haus25 Cons:

  1. Community is lackluster/non-diverse, reminds me of newport
  2. Extremely pricey (2nd highest in DTJC)
  3. Most amenities are rented out all the time (the # of residences is more than vantage)

​

If you're willing to shell out the $$$, I'd say Haus25 is a better building. It's managed by Veris whom also manages Vyv building. My experience so far here has been pretty good. Happy to answer any additional questions.

!thanks

Thanks for taking the time to write this, I really appreciate it. I think we're leaning more and more towards Haus25 as location and amenities appeal to us, hope you don't mind if I DM you a couple of questions if we're successful with the application!

The vantages second tower finished this year. I would not classify it as an old building

Sure, which is why I had a note that it's applicable to Vantage 1 only. Vantage 1 is about 5 years old... the rent for Vantage 1 was commanding prices comparable to brand new buildings in the area.
