    Maintenance

    I have been living at the Mercer since March 2025 and it has been an easy going experience. Whenever you have a problem it gets fixed extremely quick. Employees are nice and welcoming. Brandy is amazing! Great value for the price.

    Management responded

    Hi Everett, We’re so glad to hear you’ve had such a positive experience! Providing quick service and a welcoming environment is always our goal. Thank you for your kind words and for recognizing our team—we appreciate you!

  • ★★★★★May 2026

    I would give 10 stars if I could!! Seriously, Brandi has been nothing short of amazing! My hubby & I moved here from out of state and we’re having difficulty finding a place. Her thoroughness, kindness, and warm welcome made The Mercer and easy pick! The beautiful apartment & nice neighborhood has been an added bonus!

    Management responded

    Krissie, Thank you so much for your kind words—it truly means a lot! I’m so glad I was able to help make your move from out of state a smooth and positive experience. I know how stressful that process can be, so it’s wonderful to hear you felt supported and welcomed. We’re so happy to have you and your husband here at The Mercer, and I’m thrilled that you’re enjoying both your home and the neighborhood. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s ever anything you need! Thank you again, Brandy A Community Manager

    When choosing a place to stay, how nice it looks matters, but I think the more important question you should ask is, “How is the management?” At some point, wherever you stay, you’re going to run into an issue that you’ll want resolved. What I’ve appreciated most about the Mercer is how easy it is to work with Brandy and William—maintenance—and how quickly issues get resolved. I’ve lived at the Mercer for nearly two years, and while I initially had a couple of managers who were fine and got the job done, I was never incredibly impressed. Brandy, who has now been here longer than the other managers, has truly driven significant change in the building. Parking is more organized, she has consolidated and redone the gym, thoroughly cleaned the stairwells, ensured regular vacuuming and carpet cleaning of the hallways, and prioritized building security and safety. She also hosts community events and brings baked goods, which is thoughtful. The rooms are nice, but there are plenty of nice apartments in SLC. Place emphasis on the management—it’s a huge factor in how pleasant your experience will be. I’ve been really impressed with the current team here at the Mercer.

    Management responded

    Hi Ian, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review—it truly means a lot. You’re absolutely right that management plays a huge role in the overall living experience, and we’re so glad to hear that your experience with our team has made a positive impact. William and I both take great pride in being responsive, approachable, and ensuring things are handled quickly and efficiently. It’s also wonderful to hear that the improvements around the community—from organization and cleanliness to amenities and events—have made a difference for you. Creating a well-maintained, safe, and welcoming environment is always our top priority. We truly appreciate you being a long-term resident and for recognizing the efforts of our team. Thank you for being such a valued part of The Mercer community! 😊

  • ★★★★★Apr 2026

    The Mercer was our home for 15 months, and guys, it was great. But honestly, the one thing that made this 10x better was Brandy, the community manager! She took care of us since day one and she made sure we are doing good and we enjoy our stay here. She is amazing! Thank you The Mercer and thank you Brandy!

    Management responded

    Hi Diana, Thank you so much for your kind words—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! It means a lot to hear that The Mercer felt like home during your 15 months here.

    I had a great experience touring The Mercer and their building manager, Brandy, was amazing! She took the time to show us around and clearly cares a lot about the residents and the property. She explained how well they stay on top of maintenance, which made the building feel really well managed. The amenities are great too, including a nice gym, amazing views, and a yoga studio coming soon. Overall, Brandy’s dedication and the quality of the building made a really positive impression.

    Amenities

    I've now lived at the Mercer for 2 years and I have liked it. We have had virtually no issues with living here. My favorite thing about the Mercer is the constant improvements being made. For example the creation of more social spaces on the fourth floor, the new gym on the first floor, and the app we can now use to unlock apartment doors. Another thing we love at the Mercer is the super helpful and kind management.

    Management responded

    Hi Sam, Thank you so much for your continued support over the past two years—we truly appreciate having you as part of our community!

    Living in The Mercer was my first time living alone, so naturally, I was anxious. Almost immediately, Brandy put those worries to rest by being readily available, timely with her responses, and actively finding ways to make The Mercer a welcoming environment.

    Great location, good place. Shout out to Maintenance and especially to William; they are very responsive and William is reliable and efficient. Updates: There has been some recent additions to the apartments that made it even better (e.g. installation of a monitor that shows events around the city!), and it seems Brandy A. has been going out of her way to welcome and make sure the residents are comfortable and their concerns promptly addressed. Very happy here!

    I have been a resident here for about 6 months and I will say that this complex is excellent for the price. The property manager and other on site staff are all great people that operate with professionalism and empathy. Shout out the Brandy (She's the best). The facilities here are clean, quiet, acess controlled, and located right down town. The complex is only a block and a half from the lightrail. All of these benefits for a quite reasonable price comparative to many other modernized complexes in the area. What do you think; "Won't you be our neighbor?"

    I think most of the negative reviews are from previous years, from poor past management. The current management is great and I've had nothing but a pleasant experience since I moved in. The building manager Brandy is super on top of things, in addition to being really friendly and accessible. William, who's in charge of maintenance, is great and very quick to answer work orders. My appliances were pretty new; garage and entrances are secure. The balconies are great. Some minor gripes like the AC is not great in the gym rooms but these are being actively addressed thanks to Brandy. Very happy with my choice to move here!

    I’m going into my fourth year living at THE MERCER DOWNTOWN and it definitely gets five stars. Firstly, I could walk to my bank, my pharmacy, two grocery stores, City Creek Mall and more. Secondly, and more importantly, the manager, Brandy, makes it a delight to live here! She’s knowledgeable, eager and able to solve problems and ‘available’. If your apartment needs a lightbulb or something is broken, there’s a capable maintenance man who will get it taken care of quickly. It’s not noisy. There’s a garage underneath to keep your car safe. They’re constantly upgrading. The security here puts you mind at ease because entrances are all secure and for residents only. We are getting upgrades to the exercise area soon. The amazing thing is, if Brandy says it will be done then it’s done. I’ve lived with managers who never followed through and were just waiting for the weekend. It’s a pleasure having a capable, caring manager like Brandy here. I highly recommend coming home to The Mercer Downtown! ♥️ P.S. Will, our Maintenance Genius, deserves commendations as well. He is prompt, hard working, pleasant and awesome!!

    The Mercer Downtown is situated comfortably by Trolley Station allowing for easy access to public transportation, this is particularly convenient for students who make up much of the Mercer's population. Alongside this, there is a wide variety of food options nearby, as well as grocery and convenience stores like Trader Joes and Smith's a few blocks down, Brandy is awesome and is there for residents when they have a problem, she also takes initiative in improving the existing infrastructures of the Mercer (both metaphorically and literally) Brandy is always looking to give and give back to residents and I have had a good experience living in the Mercer!

    Pro's Downtown location, balcony size on 1 bedroom layouts, underground parking, mountain and city views, pet friendly, and caring property manager. Con's: Thin walls and overall building grounds cleanliness, with emphasis on the stairwells and their entrance points. Overall, 4 5. The experience since moving in 6 months ago has been enjoyable. The noise and stairwell neglect can certainly be frustrating, but thankfully not something that too significantly overwhelms how we feel in our personal layout and space, which is updated, modern, and clean. We appreciate the property manager, Eddie, and the efforts that do seem to be made towards improving the complex common areas and building entry exit routes overall.

    Writing this review, since I just moved out of the Mercer, and I noticed a lot of the reviews were old. Long story short, My wife, baby and I moved from New York City to Salt Lake City. For us, the move was a little concerning, since we, before moving, read that Salt Lake City had a car-break in problem, so we had no idea what to expect. When we were in New York, and I would call the Mercer, one thing is that the team was always accessible, always answered our questions and were really kind. They also got me into the parking garage, which was nice. The move was smooth, and so much more flexible than our move in NYC. As for the unit, it was nice! Modern countertops, good appliances. Some people complain that the walls are too thin. Having lived in New York - I couldn't really tell the difference. When you live in an apartment, that's how it is! I wouldn't say that the walls are "paper thin", but if you have a neighbor who yells, or a dog, you'll hear some muffled sounds, but that is as expected when living in an apartment. In terms of what I was looking for in an apartment - I wanted safe, I wanted a parking garage, nice amenities and a good price, and I got all those things at The Mercer. The Mercer does not have a pool, but having lived in communities before, to be honest, you will use it for the first few weekends and then it will just be an empty space - so it is not worth the premium price. The Mercer has 2 small gyms, which not many people use, but I loved it - they faced opposite sides of the mountains, and on one you can do cardio and see the sun rise over, and the sun set in the weight room. Both sides have balconies. Also, when we moved in, we needed a few things taken care of - like getting the toilet tank replaced, and that was taken care of my the staff relatively quickly. Also, the Mercer was a great neighborhood to walk around, we felt really safe, most of our neighbors were really quiet and it was within walking distance to downtown. We also walked to City Creek a few times, and the hike/walk up to 10th ave was always nice. We had to leave and break lease because we had a need for a bigger space to accommodate more family who may start their life anew with us in Utah. We did have to break the lease and pay a penalty, but that process was so much smoother and less painful than what we had to undergo when we left New York. All in all, if you are looking to live near downtown, in a safe neighborhood, close to the Trax, good views of the mountains, with a good gym, consider adding the Mercer to your search. They also roll up utilities into the rent portal, so actually, the price we ended up paying for the rent-side was half what we paid in New York. We are thankful to the guys at the Mercer for all they did for us while we were at the Mercer (James, Eddie and Gabriel), they really are rock stars and do the best they can. Oh, there is also a really nice communal area, which we used several times to watch TV, hang out, etc. It was nice.

    Noise

    [Edited Review] During signing up I was mistaken on some of the policies. I wished they were written more clearly and included some reminders in mail, but that's all under the rug now. But looking back 6-7 months later, I really will miss this place. It's location vs price is unbeatable. One major flaw in the design of this building is that the gym is upstairs, so if anyone decides to work out at 7am (or whenever the gym opens) you'll be sure to wake up if you are below it.

    I have lived in this building for the past three years and have really enjoyed my experience here. It is in a fantastic location--walking distance to Trax, Whole Foods, downtown night life, and many amazing restaurants. It is also conveniently located near the University of Utah and University Hospital. I noticed many people report you can hear your neighbors. I will agree that yes, you can hear your neighbors, but this is typical of apartment-living; you share walls with other people, you are bound to hear them. The current manager of the building is super nice, and has been very responsive to any questions I have ever had. The building is located in a great part of SLC, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting an apartment in this high-demand area.

    Having lived here for a little over a year, I’m honestly shocked at how bad the reviews of this place are. If you want to nitpick, then it’s definitely got its fair share of flaws, chief among them being thin walls. But overall the experience has been pretty good. And yes, it’s a bit pricey, but what else would you expect for a fairly new building in a neighborhood that’s in high demand. Pros: Excellent location, Newer building, Nice apartments (assuming you don’t trash them), Friendly and responsive maintenance guys, Beautiful city and mountain views, Overall good quality Cons: Thin walls, Occasional noisy neighbors, Recent management changes, High price (though not unreasonable), Poorly placed and equipped gyms
