    April 23, 2026
    Honestly, living at The Roost has been frustrating from the jump. The management is slow to respond, and when they do, it feels like nothing actually gets fixed. Maintenance requests take way too long, and you end up having to follow up multiple times just to get basic issues handled. The place looks decent at first, but once you’ve been here a bit, you start noticing the lack of upkeep. For the price, it’s definitely not worth it. Parking can be a headache, and the overall environment just ...
    isn’t as comfortable or well-managed as they make it seem when you first tour. If you’re thinking about moving here, I’d seriously consider other options before committing. It’s just not the quality you’d expect for what you’re paying.

    I love how big my room is, I have a lot more space here than I do at my last apartment. The rent is way better and the utilities don’t add too much. I love the gym.

    This place is a fine place to crash if you need a soft place to land after life falls apart, but I'm not satisfied at all with the quality of the admin. We are ignored, we can experience things like dead appliances and a pool closed the entire summer with no recourse, and management does not care about you at all.

      Every resident is important, and we are sincerely sorry that you have experienced a problem. We would love to schedule a meeting to document and address your issues and concerns.

    Overall living here is okay. The houses are very spacious and mostly clean. Our house does smell of cigarettes and the carpets were pretty dirty prior to moving in but other than that it’s been a good experience. Chelsea in the front office helped with all of my needs and I really appreciate her! The office staff for the most part and very nice and willing to help in anyway they can. Maintenance often come quickly and i’ve never had an issue with them. Overall, for cheap student housing this is ...
    the best option.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the spacious layout, quick maintenance response times, and that Chelsea and the team have been helpful — we’ll be sure to pass along the kind words to her! We do apologize for the cigarette odor and the carpet condition you experienced at move-in. That’s certainly not the standard we aim for. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and are happy to hear that overall you’ve had a positive experience with us. Thank you for choosing to call our community home!

    The amenities in the apartments and the staff are all great, but the residents here can be quite noisy. I’ve heard someone revving their engine at least twice a week at night.
