December 17, 2024This building is in an excellent location away from some of the commotion that Ames offers. If you are a student this apartment has a bus route within walking distance. If you like fitness, there is an amazing gym within running distance. If you like the outdoors there is amazing wildlife and a beautiful park close by. I found these apartments to be peaceful for the most part.Review from Apartments.com
