  • Loved it

    October 15, 2025
    My boyfriend and I went on a tour and the staff was very friendly! We loved the layout and we are planning on signing a lease to live there for next August. They also gave us free snacks!

  • Amazing!

    October 23, 2024
    I have loved every moment of living at the Grove. There are SO MANY community events. All of the staff are very intelligent and helpful. I am in a 3 bed/3 bath layout and think the price is perfectly fitting. The apartments are also super close to Jack Trice, so PERFECT for game days to walk right over. Maintenance is speedy, packages are ready for pickup quickly and I always feel safe living here.
