Terrible Management

August 14, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
If I could leave zero stars, I would. The property management here has shown a total lack of organization, accountability, and basic consideration for their residents. Terrible Scheduling: They set the official move-in date literally the day before university classes start, creating a massive logistical nightmare for out-of-state students driving hours to get here. Inconsistent & Misleading Communication: Calling their office is a waste of time. Every time you speak to someone, you get a ...
completely different story. They gave conflicting information regarding move-in procedures, failed to process requests submitted months in advance, and then brushed off the issue when confronted. Dismissive Customer Service: Instead of taking responsibility for their staff giving out incorrect information, management acts completely nonchalant and defensive because the headache doesn't affect them personally. Setting up students for chaos right before the semester starts while refusing to provide consistent answers is irresponsible and scammy. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for housing.

DO NOT MOVE HERE

July 7, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Parents this is an absolute nightmare. They will over charge you and not respond. Finding a needle in a haystack is easier than reaching any adult that works in billing and you will need them because you will be constantly overcharged. I was charged from other rooms after they had moved out and my son never stayed in any other room but the same one he moved into after leaving the freshman dorm. Please parent do not send you child there no matter the hype or the way they dress it up .

The Cottages

March 13, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve greatly enjoyed my time at the cottages, maintenance is fast, and effective. Our home specifically is lacking in outside landscaping compared to other homes, but they are good about mowing and keeping up with everything else!!

The worst possible experience.

February 23, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
The worst possible experience. If you can find a better alternative place for your son or daughter to stay at while they're going to school do so. It's horrible they have no compassion they don't care about your concerns and they can care less as long as they get their rent. I would not recommend it.
