    Close to public transportation. U. City school district. Great management.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • University Commons Apartments

    August 14, 2015
    This complex is super close to bus/metro transportation and located near the ultra popular social gathering area called "The Loop". The entire complex is immaculate, grass manicured and maintained, lanes and walk-ways clean and a large swimming pool that is professionally maintained. The courtyards are also maintained in such a manner that mimics high priced condos. The managers and staff are completely professional, courteous understanding and very helpful. I am an elderly woman who feels ...
    completely safe and intends to make this my permanent home!!

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
