Really love the location and the amenities. The location is also really good and makes it easy to get around Campus. The units themselves are great and the staff are really helpful. A bit noisy though.

I have been living at the Foundry for about a year now and have really enjoyed my time here. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always willing to help when something comes up. The building and shared spaces are consistently clean and well maintained, which makes it a comfortable place to live. The location is also a big advantage since it is easy to get to campus and around Ames. The study spaces are especially useful when you need a quiet spot to focus. Overall, it has been a great ...
experience and I would recommend the Foundry to anyone looking for a dependable off campus apartment near Iowa State.

The apartments are nice and modern and up to date and the staff are nice and helpful. It’s right off of campus and a quick walk to the bars and nightlife. It is right off of a main street so it can be a bit noisy at rush hour.
