    Great housing

    April 29, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
    Great living arrangements …. Easy move in process …. Welcoming staff !!!! Very much recommended!!!

    Unlivable

    August 9, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
    The air has been out for almost 3 months during the hottest days of summer and mold continues to grow in my room. This apartment is unlivable and they do not communicate with residents except to say they are short staffed which is their issue, not the people paying rent. The only reason they contacted me was to accuse me of leaving notes on the doors about the horrible condition of the apartments and their apparent apathy. This apartment and their management company should be ashamed of their ...
    conditions and the way they (don't) respond to residents.

    UVC IS HORRIBLE

    March 30, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
    I stayed at UVC for for 2 years and this place is AWFUL. Many students are tricked into thinking this is a great place due to the location and the payed reviews. My roomate/girlfriend was payed to say that place is "great!" So some reviewers are probably payed to say how great this place was, but it was an actual nightmare. I will list down all the things that happened. My girlfriend and I have suffered with the amount of roaches and gnats in our apartment. We are not messy people, we never had ...
    food sitting out or gross areas in the apartment. SOMEHOW, there would be roaches crawling around our kitchen and our living room in the night. I scared, disgusted and hated stepping into my on kitchen, I starved myself because of how many roaches I would see crawling on the floors and the walls. Gnats were EVERYWHERE, in your drink, in your food, in your bathroom, in your ears and so on. I most definitely ate one or two and didn't care because I was just so hungry and TIRED of these bugs. I have PTSD, so loud banging noises will trigger me immediately. The neighbor above us was so nosy to the point that our apartment would be shaking whenever he bangs or stomps at 3AM. I would go into a episode every night, it was terrible. I sent complaints towards the people above my home, but nothing helped. They past landlord charged them, but they still made to much noise. I have had 3 landlord in the past 2 years I stated at UVC. There was a time that we had no landlord and we all didn't know. Some people, who couldn't pay online rent, was not able to pay in person because no landlord was there. My girlfriend and I moved out because we could not take the treatment and hated this lifestyle. So, we created a new contract talking about our early termination. We stated that we only pay for past unpaid rent and leave because we are breaking our agreement with UVC. Our landlord was given person my one of the managers, signed the agreement and we moved out. Weeks later, they charged us a termination fee, which is basically future rent UVC wants us to pay for. I have tried speaking the landlord and the landlord was very rude to us and doesn't even remember what they have signed. I emailed the managers and they basically told me that they didn't discuss the contract with my girlfriend and I, therefore we are forced to pay. YOU GAVE PERMISSION TO THE LANDLORD, YOUR OWN STAFF, TO SIGN OUR CONTRACT. WE HAVE ACTUAL EVIDENCE THROUGH PHOTOS AND THEY CHOOSE TO DECLINE ACTUAL PROOF.

    Pay extra money somewhere else

    February 10, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
    Please spend the little extra money and move somewhere else. I hate to write such an awful review, but living here was by far the worst living experience I have ever had. 1) the apartments are not well kept AT ALL. Upon moving in, the kitchen walls were dirty, toilet seats were filthy, floors seemed to be waxed over while they were dirty so there was permanent markings on the floor. 2) good luck getting your security deposit back. This apartment splits damages in the common area between the two ...
    roommates. I had money taken away from mine and my roommate did not. It took them forever to fix and I also did not get my security deposit back for another 2-3 months and this was after I had to call them repeatedly to ask for updates. My Roommate has yet to receive her security deposit and we moved out 7+ months okay. 3) I am not the only one who has had a very unpleasant experience with the new property manager. There were several unprofessional comments made and in the process of trying to get my security deposit returned to me, I was met with hostility and rudeness. 4) pay attention to some of the good reviews because some of them are made by staff. 5) It is also incredibly hard to get someone to answer the phone in the office. So you are better off going to the office in person and hoping you get treated with respect. 6) I had maintenance request from the time I moved in that never got completed. 7) the bug situation is insane. There are many apartments on this property that had roaches and the first time I surfaced this concern, the response I got was making it seem is if we kept our apartment dirty. When in reality, our front door was never sealed properly (even after I told them about it) and the property in general is unkept. The location is nice and the price is not bad at all, however I would seriously consider paying a little extra money for somewhere better. I moved out almost two months early and paid rent at two places for two months just so I could out of there sooner.

    Great apartments near Columbus State

    May 29, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
    I lived here for 2 years (2020-2022), and I highly recommend these apartments to students attending CSU. It’s minutes from campus, meaning you can easily walk to classes. The apartment is a good size, there’s an in unit W/D, Wi-Fi is provided, and they pay for utilities up until a certain amount. The community is smaller, making it a quiet area. The only issue I had living here was that my unit became dark quite quickly, as it was facing towards the back of the building. However, that’s ...
    completely personal preference. This is a better alternative to on-campus housing especially if you have another person to room with.

    Dishonest, Stonewalled

    March 9, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
    I was charged $10 for a Landlord's Liability Fee in September 2021. I did not pay it since the fee was nowhere in the lease. I was charged the fee for not uploading Renter's Insurance, which was not listed as a requirement in the lease. I was charged a $50 late fee and $5 a day for this. I had Renter's Insurance. I was promised a refund. I email and call periodically, and I have not received a response since the initial response. Additionally, the apartment was not in moved-in ready. The washer ...
    wasn't hooked up, a kitchen cabinet was hanging off the wall (that took months to fix), tons of dead bugs in the lights. brown caulk around the sink, old filters, scuffed floors, drawers and doors off their tracks. etc. Then, in this furnished apartment, the missing bureau was delivered a few months later with dirty underwear in it. I have pictures. It was finally fixed a couple of months later.

    GREAT PLACE TO LIVE

    Great place to live! Convenient to get to CSU and anywhere in Columbus you may need! Jake and Carol (property manager and Maintence coordinator) are great and on top of their jobs. Definitely give this place a look and become a resident!

    Awesome!

    Great Apartment

    December 15, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
    I love living here. It’s super affordable, convenient location, easy access to walking trails near by, close to the college, and all around a great complex. I couldn’t have picked a better place to live.

    Excellent Student Homes

    December 11, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
    University Crossings is an excellent home away from home for all college students & young adults. It's a good starter place, as well as a safe place to live! - A. Harris

    Affordable and comfortable

    December 11, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
    If you want to be in a great location close to shopping, food and other fun activities, this is the place. I’m in the military and I recommend this place. They’re great with military personnel and the location isn’t far from Fort Benning. It’s right across the street from Columbus State University as well. So it’s great living for college students, staff and faculty members.
