Trash Everywhere, Zero Maintenance

August 29, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com

Launch Apartments has become the definition of false advertising. Rent keeps going up while the quality of living keeps going down. What used to look like a decent place now feels like a dumping ground — trash sits around for days, and basic upkeep is clearly not a priority. Maintenance is beyond frustrating. I’ve submitted multiple requests, they come, they “check,” and then they leave without fixing anything. Weeks go by and the problems remain exactly the same. This place markets itself like ...

a premium community, but the reality is closer to neglect and mismanagement. If management thinks residents will just accept higher prices for lower standards, they’re wrong. People deserve better than this.

Property Manager Responded

September 2, 2025

We are sorry to hear about your frustrations. The recent issue with trash service was due to a delay in processing with our provider, which temporarily suspended pickups. That matter has been resolved and service will resume tomorrow morning. We understand how important a clean and well-maintained community is for our residents and are addressing this to prevent future disruptions. If you are continuing to experience any concerns with your apartment or maintenance requests, please reach out to our office directly so we can assist you right away.

Scam of a property

October 31, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com

The apartments that launch shows are a lie compared to what is given. Rooms are run down and on top of it they try to nickel and dime you every chance they get.

Don't be tricked

January 7, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com

I've lived here a few years and only stayed because I didn't want to move while I was a grad student. They have finally driven me out due to rent increases - rent increased for my apartment by almost $200 (aka about 25% of current rent cost). The problems with these apartments do not justify that cost - these were built in the freaking 50s and it shows. The wiring is atrocious, the baseboard heaters are expensive and constantly break, AC is wall unit only, washer/dryers are unreliable. The ...

package room is a total mess and they let anyone with the phone app enter I've had a few friends have packages stolen while living here. Due to their age, the apartments are constantly breaking down (I have a ceiling leak at least once a year and in the first couple of years I lived here it was several each year). Maintenance is overwhelmed by all the requests it is constantly getting. The only redeeming feature of this apartment is its proximity to bus route 5 to Purdue and the campus generally.

Horrible Experience

September 5, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

You should definitely never live here like all of the other reviews say. Most of the five star reviews are written by people who they give free stuff to. I lived here for 3 years because I had no other choices unfortunately. The washers and dryers almost always be broken. You had to put in money to see which ones were broken and each load was $1.75. The package room is a disaster where the package delivery people never put the package in the system so you don't know if your package came until you ...

check yourself on whatever place you bought it from. It also is always cluttered and packages are everywhere on the ground. The maintenance people are a joke where they come "fix" things only after 3 months or whenever they feel like it because I had multiple maintenance people say they'll be back tomorrow and never come back ever again. The front office people always promises the maintenance people will fix your office within 24 hours but that never happens even when you constantly call them to ask when they coming to fix something. I never had hot water more than 5 minutes since I moved to this unit. They charge you ridiculous fees for sewage or trash even if it's their problem where their company won't take out the trash. The units are super old and break down all the time. I had mold grow and they just painted over it. I wouldn't recommend anyone living here if you want livable conditions.

Avoid this place at all costs

August 10, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this housing company. Every time I requested a service, it felt like a never-ending wait, often spanning weeks, or requiring multiple requests before anything was resolved. The apartment itself was in terrible condition - an old and rundown unit plagued with issues like a clogged shower, stained carpet, and abysmally low water pressure. Adding to the frustration, a staggering 80% of the laundry machines were either out of order or performed so ...

poorly that they might as well have been. What's even more infuriating is the behavior of the administration staff, specifically those who are supposed to be there to help. They displayed rudeness and dishonesty, practically acting like scammers. I had been promised a credit to my account since May, with my move-out date set for the end of July. I made countless trips to their office, consistently receiving the same promise: "We'll take care of it tomorrow." The cycle continued, and a few days before my move-out, I visited once again to ensure the credit was applied. The assurance was there - it would be processed by Monday the 31st. But alas, Monday came and went with no action. I made calls, they claimed they were addressing it urgently. Days rolled by, still no progress. And then, on Friday, when I inquired once more, I was met with rudeness and eventually hung up on. Then, on Wednesday, the 10th of August, I received a message stating that the credit had been added to my account. However, this was followed by a shocking revelation - they couldn't put the credit in my account because I was no longer a tenant. What's astonishing is that I had informed them of my impending move from the very beginning. I had emails to prove it, and I had even spoken to a specific person in person, voicing my concerns about the credit not being processed due to my move. And yet, they shrugged off my attempts to communicate and simply hung up on me. In conclusion, I advice you to steer clear of this place. The overall experience, from their sluggish service to the abysmal apartment conditions and the outright negligence of the administration staff, is beyond frustrating. This company's lack of professionalism and their disregard for tenant concerns is a clear sign that it's best to avoid this place altogether.

Really bad maintinance

June 17, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

The facilities are nice for the price - but the maintinance is disasterously bad. I had an issue with my shower that caused it to leak, the heating bill to be insanely high, and the water to be cold. It took six months for this issue to be resolved. They kept coming in and saying they fixed it but the issue was not fixed. I came in weekly to ask them to fix and it and they did not fix it. Finally it was finished but there have been many similar problems involving maintinance where it takes them a ...

very long time for them to fix things. I think they just need to hire more repair people or train them better. The hallway smelled bad (like rotting food) for several weeks, the carpet smelled bad until I bleached it myself, this property is just not taken care of well.

Regret my decision to take sublease in the launch

August 12, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com

Like most real reviews on here, I wish I could give zero stars. Avoid this place as any other apartment close to campus is much better. Apartments are old and corridors are stinking. Once you decide not to renew the lease, they will not take care of your service request also. Unprofessional behavior from the property managers. In my unit, they repaired the AC after 4 months. LAUNCH SOCIAL LIVING is a very horrible company and will try to get money out of you in any way possible!!! For cleaning, ...

they charged 230$ and also they charged me 300$ as I move out at 6 pm instead of 12 noon. They called it to trash out charges. I cleaned my unit completely but still, they charge 300$. When I send the email they send me the pictures of some other unit and telling this is the trash you have left out. Then I send them the video that I took while leaving my unit (just to show I clean the apartment properly and it is in good condition). But still, they have their reasons to take money from you. These are the ethics of them to take all the deposits from you. The real image will come out when you try to go out from launch. As friendly advice. DO NOT GO WITH LAUNCH SOCIAL LIVING if you are still deciding. Honestly...you will be happier in the long run. All of us who are coming from other countries don't have the idea about leasing companies like LAUNCH so, it is easy for them to fool you. Before you come to West Lafayette just search thoroughly and choose a better place.

Worst Apartment Complex and Incompetent Office

November 1, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com

One of the worst apartment complexes in all of West Lafayette. Do Not Read The Five Star Reviews! They are not real reviews and Launch gives out things if you give them a good review. It's a way to pad their ratings so they not seem as bad as they are. They will nickel and dime you out of everything, including your deposit. Front office are incompetent and the maintenance workers can only do so much with so little. Go literally anywhere else even if you're on a budget, because there are so many ...

hidden costs. Avoid at all costs!

Thank you for your perspective on our reviews and our team's efforts, Cameron. We'd be happy to talk further about more specific issues you've experienced at Launch in-office or over the phone, as well as escalate your concerns beyond the property level if necessary. Our "hidden costs" are outwardly stated in your lease agreement and we'd also be happy to review any of those terms with you. Thank you again for your consideration, Cameron.

Do Not Live Here!

June 27, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com

This is not a good place to live. This apartment complex is not worth your time and energy in dealing with the front office or the physical space itself. Most of the units are incredibly outdated and your electric and water bills will be inflated because of Launch's inability to put money into fixing problems. Most of the five star reviews are input by people who either work for Launch and or the various "events" that Launch runs to give out free stuff in exchange for a five star review. My ...

partner and I have spent so much time and energy trying to get the most basic things out of the front office with very little to show for it. Front office are extremely unhelpful and often rude if confronted with a legitimate concern that they have 0 authority to help with. We have gone a month without AC during the summer and when we do run our AC unit its more of an overpriced fan than anything else. The heat runs until it is turned off because the sensors that tell it to shut off do not work. So you cannot turn on your heat without it staying on until its 79 degrees until it finally turns off. Most of the units are incredibly outdated and the maintenance staff can only put on Band-Aids for everything. Pray you don't have to work with the front office because they are taught to combat your problems rather than help and don't have any authority to help you with anything more than putting in a maintenance request. Do yourself a favor and don't even consider moving in to Launch even if the units are "cheaper." Stay literally anywhere else.

Stan, thank you for evaluating your experience with Launch from a personal and broad stance. We are very sorry that the issue with your A/C has persisted - it's unfortunate that the part needed to replace what is broken can take up to 3-4 weeks to be delivered, and we apologize if the communication of that piece has been frustrating to hear, or delivered inappropriately. We do provide a portable A/C unit for folks to use while they wait for the repairs to be complete, as we all are simply trying to combat the elements at all stages of the year when damages/faults occur. In an effort to see what more we can do to help while we wait on the parts, we'd love to have you connect with our general manager Shaina this week. She can be reached at sneidigh@liveatlaunch.com or by calling the office and asking for her directly (just mention your review). We hope to connect about your troubles sooner than later.

This is a horrible place to live.

May 2, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com

The office and maintenance staff are incompetent. They fail to fix to several ongoing issues in several units. After you sign your lease they don’t care about you. The units they actually place you in are disgusting and have broken appliances. No matter how many requests you put in nothing will ever get fixed.

I doubt I'll ever find a place this good again.

April 21, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com

Waves of wonderful memories wash over me as I look through the images of this place. I offer my credentials as someone who was likely one of the longer tenets they ever had. I lived here from 2007-2018. 11 years, and I never even considered leaving. Wherever I go in life, I doubt I'll ever find a place with this balance of desirable traits again. You have first, a very affordable price. But you don't sacrifice quality. It's nice here. And you have an incredible location. You are near Purdue, and ...

you have the perfect combination to be able to walk to any point at Purdue, or the other direction to any point in Downtown. But you are also right in line with River Road to get you to the interstate, or easy access across the bridge to Lafayette. It has a vibrant community, and a wonderful feel. But somehow...it's both active and near the vibrant party scene of Purdue, yet manages to just be, in literally the perfect location to be peaceful and tranquil at the same time. You have a river or a pond to look over, depending on where you are at in the complex. You can walk to the Purdue bars easily. You have an indoor heated pool, which is the Unicorn of amenities for an apartment complex. In 11 years I never bothered to even look anywhere else. It's like if you build an apartment complex in an video game, and had maxed out the skill points and put them in the amenity bars perfectly balanced. Wherever I go in life, however long I live, I seriously doubt I'll ever find a place like this again.

It's been our sincerest pleasure to provide such a high quality of living for you over this past decade and beyond, Michel. We want to thank you for really expounding upon not only what Launch has to offer, but the entire surrounding area of the complex. We do hope that you've found a place outside of Launch that matches any sort of experience you've described here! Once again, thank you for being so vocal about your Launch love. We're glad we had you while we did!

worst place at west lafayette

March 2, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com

They pay minimum attention to your requests and complaints (of course, they look very nice before you sign the lease). Everytime repairmen entered my apartment, he weared no protections and left lots of dirts on my floor.

This is an inexcusable issue as it reads in your review, and we'd like to take further action to right the wrongs done here if you're able to provide more color to the situation in-office this week. Thank you for raising your voice in the matter and holding our maintenance teams accountable. We hope to speak with you soon.
