The University Inn Apartments

never properly fixed. They started towing cars without telling residents that we needed to get parking stickers. The pricing for the different units is all different and seemingly unfair. Parking lot has a ton of HUGE potholes that haven't been fixed. The negatives definitely out weigh the positives of this place..

it. I thought that it was their job not mine, silly isn't it?! I didn't take pictures, I thought that would be childish. If I knew that I would be treated in this manner, I would have sent the pictures to health dept! All I wanted was a refund, fair is fair period!

building a community feel. And you can't beat having a big pool in the back yard with room to lounge and cookout during the warm months! Packages and postage are efficiently and securely handled by the main office, and staff are always happy to help meet your needs. Having front desk staff on premise from 8-5 during the week and 8-3 on Saturdays with evening and weekend coverage also leads to the secure feel of the building. I was at first hesitant regarding the unique first floor short term (hotel) rentals, but visiting tenants blend into the building community seamlessly. Ample parking is also available all year round. The location similarly cannot be beat - especially for those of us who have daily business in Kent (students, staff, visiting faculty) - with quick access to downtown, the KSU campus, and bonuses like the Franklin Street Saturday farmer's market and local festivals. Several grocery stores and restaurants are also within walking, busing, and certainly driving distance. Much of the maintenance staff are also specific to this building and a small group of others, leading to quickly resolved unit-specific maintenance requests. However, this can at times lead to drawn out renovations and building-related repairs occurring at unexpected hours. Further, despite the updated spaces, the Inn does not utilize an online posting board or email system to contact tenants, leaving tenants to discover building news and notices posted within the lobby - a small negative when considering the overall quality of life here. All in all, living at the Inn has been a continuously pleasant experience, leading me to sign another lease for the third year!
