Could be worse.

November 17, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
Moved in this past September for law school and I think I'll be out of here when my lease ends. I live in a studio -- it's a nice unit! Not much to complain about inside my apartment. Always have friendly encounters with staff too. Outside, however, the neighborhood and other tenants are loud. Don't be surprised to hear screaming in the building, loud cars gunning down varsity, or that a crime occurred around the corner.

Horrible Place

July 21, 2017 - Review from Apartments.com
I went here in search of an apartment and was rudely treated. I simply asked if they had anything available and was told no. My 3yr sister had to use the bathroom and they told her no as well. When we asked to speak to the manager the manager and the employee that was rude they both laughed at our complaint and said they would call the police if we didn't leave. I later found out this apartment still has many units available.

Rough Area

November 13, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
The apartment is old for sure but once you get it decorated and moved in, it can be great. My unit doesnt have a bathroom vent and the bathroom itself is awkward small. However we can make it work. The real issue is the buildings student tenants. Talk about rude, loud, inconsiderate fools. You simply can't keep up with the amount of noise.

new place

August 26, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com

Love it
