    The staff does everything they can do to make sure that things are taken care of. However, there are no cameras on this property. No locks on the garage doors from the hallway.

    So far the experience has been pretty good. I enjoy living here. The property bills itself as a luxury apartment but there isn't anything here, I would consider luxury. It's nice having a washer/dryer in the unit and the fireplace is a nice touch. But again, I wouldn't consider it luxury, just nice and there is nothing wrong with that.

    So far everyone I’ve met has been nice and helpful. There’s been one person or so who’s maybe not the best but overall it’s good. I haven’t met too many people.

    My only complaint is that our buildings are not secure. Even the oldest apartments in town have secured entrances. Our garages should also be secure...especially since we are charged monthly fee for them. Too much theft has happened recently and we should be able to feel a lot more safe than that!

    Very nice office staff and maintenance. The apartments could definitely use some updates. The gym, pool and office are always top notch. The trash area is not the staff's fault it is the people that live here. They don't even open the dumpster door they just throw it down.

    We have almost 5 month and I don’t have nothing negative about these condos. Honestly the place are really soft, friendly and nice. All amenities that you need, they have. The best part it’s the pool and the grocery store near.

    We've been here for just over 2 months now and we absolutely love it! Lots of room to walk my dog with poop stations everywhere! The apartment is perfect for us and the neighbors are all very friendly. The staff is amazing! Very nice, quick to respond to requests and always very friendly. I love the shared garage option, much cheaper and affordable. I just wanted it because it's Iowa and hail is always a threat. Before I added the garage to my lease though, I was amazed at the ample parking. We ...
    never had to walk far to get to the car and the shared garages are at each end of the building, so we still don't have to walk far. So much to love about Ironwood and the staff!

    Management is near impossible to work with. There is no compassion from them when bringing concerns to their attention. For three months I was told to deal with the issue I’ve been having. Im not trying to dog on them but it’s making living here very difficult.
