  • Love Living Here

    February 9, 2022
    I love living here, the management is great at addressing any problems that arise quickly. They just replaced all of the laundry rooms and they are a lot better! For the price, you get a lot out of this place a great parking lot and small but decent gym. I live in a two bedroom and the living room is quite spacious. I also like feeling safe here with the gated parking lots and key fob access doors.

    • Property Manager Responded

      February 11, 2022
      Hi! Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you are having a great experience living at College Hill and enjoying our amenities as well. If you'd like to provide feedback on how we can improve to 5 stars, please contact the leasing office. We value your residency! Thank you again! :)

  • Don’t live here.

    December 1, 2021
    The building is old and rarely cleaned. The washing/drying machines are small, don’t work properly, and cost $1.75 per machine. The new management will find any reason to charge you for miscellaneous things. Maintenance men chain smoke outside in the parking lot every day and linger around the windows to peoples apartments. They have done minimal renovations and increased everyone’s rent, including individuals whose apartments haven’t yet received the updates.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • AWFUL

    February 17, 2021
    Dirty place. Mouse poop under appliances when I moved in. New management making no meaningful changes. The mail situation is a joke. Mail sits on the ground, often stolen. Homeless people sleeping in the halls during summer. Ridiculously poor snow removal in the winter. Poor insulation and high heating bills. The fitness center is useless with outdated equipment. Dangerous surrounding area. Overall very expansive for you are really getting. “Updated” kitchen has very cheap appliances. Electric ...
    issues abound. BEWARE. From a current resident, I warned you.

  • MSUCHM student--Great 3 years here!

    December 20, 2016
    I rented a 2 bedroom apartment here. VERY spacious, and affordable. I had my doubts regarding the noise and 'college' atmosphere, but it's actually very quiet and everyone is friendly. I honestly would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for an affordable clean place, with staff that's responsive to maintenance requests, and great proximity to the medical campuses. Jill and Ruth were also very nice, and were easy to reach by email. I would certainly stay here again.

  • Good location for downtown and MSU CHM college - Decent price - Super nice staff

    October 24, 2015
    We rented a 1 bedroom apartment for our daughter to attend school there. The apartment is large and has all the basic amenities. Like many reviewers here, we find the gated parking is a plus and the security is adequate. Since the buildings are next to the highway, apartments facing inward are probably a better choice. The building manager, Jill, is super nice and responsive. The maintenance people are also helpful. The only complaint that our daughter has is there is no one in the front office ...
    to receive/sign the UPS/FedEx package like it used to have. In overall, our daughter enjoys staying there.

  • Decent location, good price, overall nice place.

    August 5, 2015
    Located within walking distance of a lot of places, but it is on the edge of downtown. Rent includes cable and internet, which is nice. Some of the apartments are a little outdated, but others are updated. As far as bang for the buck goes (price, location, security, etc.), this is one of the better bets near downtown.

  • I haven't found a better value in town..

    January 23, 2015
    College Hill is the best I've found in GR! The management, Green Property Management, is attentive, extremely nice, and always helpful. It makes living here EASY. I pay attention to reviews on apartment sites, and I'm immediately turned off when I see something bad about the office staff/management. I've personally lived places where they made up excuses as to why I was not getting my deposit back, entered my apartment with no warning, and made me feel stupid for asking questions. GPM has not ...
    and will not ever do those things. Ruth is helpful, and knows her residents! Often times packages are delivered right outside my apartment door (I ok'ed this). You have to have a key fob to enter the building and the resident parking lot is gated- which makes me feel safe! The facility is always clean, smoke-free, and always kept up to par. I'm only considering moving because I would like to find a house. If I can't, then I won't leave College Hill because you won't find a better deal in Grand Rapids!

  • Terrific apartments!

    March 20, 2013
    Compared to the price of other apartments in the area, these are nice, clean, spacious apartments for a very good price.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Great Location for a Great Price

    October 2, 2013
    I have enjoyed living at College Hill. The place is clean, the staff is helpful and friendly, the location is convenient (near downtown and the highway), and the rent is reasonable for the area. An added bonus: I always felt safe at the building because of the gated parking and keyed access. Check it out!

    January 12, 2015
    A million times love! These apartments were so much better than I had ever expected. Very pleasantly surprised!
    Review from Apartments.com

  • A Great Tour

    February 2, 2015
    I toured this location looking for a great place to live in the Grand Rapids downtown location. It wasn't located in the best looking neighborhood, but fortunately has gated parking for residents as well as a locked complex for added security. The staff was friendly and the majority of the amenities were included, both of which are a plus. The prices are affordable. There is a small fitness center on location as well as laundry facilities for every floor. Overall, it's a great deal. ...
    Unfortunately, my friend and I ended up needed a third bedroom when another friend was in need of a place to live, so we ended up going elsewhere. If you're looking for an apartment by yourself or don't mind a two bedroom, one bath apartment, then I would highly recommend this apartment.
