I've lived at College Manor in a STUDIO for 3 years now. So listen up.
pros: location & maintenance. cons: literally everything else.
PROS: Location. This property overpriced because location. Another pro: maintenance staff. I've lived here 3 years and seen changes happen to maintenance. Improving. Because the building is so old, moldy,poorly maintained, have to continuously shut off the water to fix plumbing issues, and before you sign, MAKE SURE you have HOT water. On the far end of the
...building, there is NO hot water in the shower. The pipes are so old. It sucks. Maintenance can't do anything.
CONS: Walls are paper thin in the studios. You can hear everything your neighbor is doing and everything happening outside by the pool orfrat house.The office staff are college students. They lack knowledge on everything.Additionally, the office charges you so much for so little. If you request work done,fix flooring, they will call you right before they close the office (6PM), to tell you to move all your stuff, the day before flooring people are scheduled to come by. They don't give you enough time to figure out what to do with your stuff. They told me that to reschedule, I would have to pay $50.I didn't even know they were coming until the 12 hours before they were coming!! After calling the office and demanding to speak with the owner of the property, I cancelled it. Almost had to pay $50 but they waived it bc how upset I was. The inside of the apartments are okay,If you don't clean alot (I do), your apartment will get dirty quickly. If your neighbor above you drops something,you will hear it.Also, the inside of the apartments smell of paint. Even if you line the drawers, your clothes will reek of the paint&have this weird smell. I tried candles/sprays, that smell never leaves. The cabinetry is falling apart and the windows are moldy.
The water is always being shut off. I'm talking like at least once (~1 day) a week.
Staff issues: If you complain about something, they will talk to each other about it. Very unprofessional.I complained about one maintenance guy once, and he approached & pointed me out asking why I complained about his whistling in the morning! I couldn't believe it. The only reason I stayed was location and bc I wanted to stay by myself.
REMEMBER: Walls are thin. Staff is terrible. Overpriced. Smelly walls/interior. Water is always shut off. No hot water on the far end. I lived here 3 years, I know. Take my advice and AVOIDatALL COSTS.
Max of 2. $25-45.
