    • Awesome Home

      January 13, 2026
      I lived her a couple of months ago, i loved it! I had to move into another state due to job change but if not i would still be renting from Knapp properties. The manager is super kind and down to earth. Maintenance is quick to respond to requests and repair. The hallways are always clean, laundry room is clean. Loved it here
      Review from Apartments.com
    • Good value, pleasant experience

      January 3, 2015
      This is a 50 year old building, with the usual dents and dings. However, it is well maintained and surprisingly clean. Pros: Reasonable rent Free heat Quiet tenants Near to grocery store Friendly maintenance man and he is quick to respond to concerns Cons: Street noise can be loud Small kitchen Overall, this apartment building is a good value and was a pleasant experience. I would still be living there if I did not have to move out of state.
