    Very friendly and clean, and felt as if the clubhouse managed events and home living super well. Great place to meet new friends and expand outside of your comfort zone!

    May 26, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    Good place to live! Love the pool and amenities!! They are very helpful and friendly, responsive to maintenance requests.

    Great College Apartment!

    May 26, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    I lived here 3 years, apartments are basically all college students. All 3 years I basically was out with roomates I didn’t know prior to living at Hillcrest and every year turned out good! Maintenance fixed everything in a timely manor! And most nights were quiet even having neighbors! The staff get back to you quickly. Would definitely recommend!

    Overall Experience

    May 21, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    Hillcrest is a friendly complex with amazing amenities and perks! There are always things going on at the clubhouse, giveaways, and even the chance to meet new people! Hillcrest is a home of every college around here from Allen, UNI, and even Hawkeye! I would recommend Hillcrest to anyone looking to have a fun and friendly college experience where you can meet lifetime friends!

    Great place to live!

    May 7, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    Rent is very good for the area plus all of the amenities make it worth it 100%

    Amazing Place

    April 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    I lived here for all 4 years of college and wouldn’t change a thing. The staff is great! Very nice people and easy to work with. The pool and game room are very nice and well maintained. 10/10 would recommend living here.

    Lovely place to live!

    April 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    The staff is fantastic and so friendly! There are so many incredible amenities like the pool in the summer and free tanning. It's walking distance to UNI's campus and so many students live here so you're always with friends!

    BEST PLACE TO LIVE!

    December 8, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
    Hillcrest is the most comfortable place and most affordable to place to live as a student! I've lived here for 4 years and I've never felt more at home! So many amenities, wonderful staff and so close to campus and everything that Cedar Falls has to offer!

    Hillcrest

    November 9, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
    Hillcrest is a great place to live with your friends! There are many amenities to enjoy while you're staying there! The ladies in the clubhouse are always super nice. It's definitely worth it! I highly recommend this housing for students!

    Hillcrest!!

    November 8, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
    Hillcrest is a great place to live with your friends while still having your own personal space. The large kitchen and living room make it feel more like home than many college apartments around here. It is also nice to have a clubhouse to escape to when your roommates are getting to be too much to handle. They also have a great place to play pool, tan, workout, and swim. Great place to live off campus that is not too close or too far away from classes.

    Living at Hillcrest

    November 8, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
    Living at Hillcrest has been nothing but a good experience for me. The maintenance is always on top of things, and there are so many amenities that a tenant is able to use!!
