    • AMAZING PLACE

      February 7, 2024
      I have lived here for three years and loved every second of it. I’d lived in 4 different apartments before hand and the staff was always difficult to deal with, mail got stolen, maintenance requests were ignored or so many other things that could have been solved with communication. Quarters staff are always easy to talk to and ready to help with a concern of mail/ maintenance or keys issue. I will definitely be sad the day I have to move out!!

      September 8, 2023
      Even though the quarters are off campus from Iowa State, they make up for it with all the amenities that they provide, such as the pool, golf simulator, and gym, to just name a few! Never a boring day at the Quarters as there is always something to do!

      The location is farther from campus than a number of other housing options, but there's a bus stop close by and we are within walking distance of the tailgating lots for football games! Each months there's a number of great events at the clubhouse and the amenities are great!
