Dump

July 29, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
This place is a dump. Rotting floor boards, mold all throughout the bathrooms and the carpet is old and musty and stained. The ceiling looks like it’s about to cave in all around the apartment. They will charge you a cleaning fee but don’t actually clean the units before you come in. Disgusting disgusting place and a rip off for how much you pay.

Property Manager Responded

October 15, 2024
Thank you for your review. We do apologize for any issues you may have experienced in your apartment. Feel free to reach out to the leasing office directly with any concerns so that we may address them.

I love it here

March 3, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
I have loved my apartment since day one, the balcony is a major plus! Amazing amenities and VERY helpful & friendly staff, this is such a cute little place to make your own. One thing I will say is having to pay for parking each month sucks.

Do not live here...

March 16, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
We had to clean the apartment Day 1 because they did not at all, repairs that they said would be done have not, Management is very shady and condescending. Evidence of bed bugs as well. You are getting what you pay for with this one...

Best Place In Kent

January 20, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
This place is a very warm and welcoming place to live! The staff are amazing and work their butts off for all their residents. This company wants you to feel like you are coming to you warm cozy home... not like how other places make you feel like you are living in a cold hotel.! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Great Place to Live!

January 20, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
This place made me feel at home. The staff is amazing and work there butts off for all of their residence. They have the cheapest prices for the best quality. This company wants you to feel like you are living in a home rather than a hotel... as other apartments make you feel. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Pay more to live somewhere else

January 16, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
After paying $20 a month for parking plus your electric bill the rent isn’t very cheap. No laundry in your apartment and have to pay to do it at the clubhouse. Pay the same price for a bedroom half the size of the other person your are living with. If you need something fixed they most likely will not spend the money to fix it. Live somewhere else, seriously.

Cozy Place

November 7, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
Already renewed my lease! My roommates and I love our little balcony, the club house and our friendly neighbors. We can’t wait to spend another year together in our cozy apartment!

University Oaks

November 7, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
Nice apartments with great amount of living space. They come fully furnished, which is very convenient. Already renewed my lease for next year!

Great!

November 7, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
I really enjoy living at oaks because of the home feeling I get and how cozy the rooms actually are! Also the club house is very resourceful and they has fun activities that me and my roommates go to every time! Highly recommend living here.

okay

June 11, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
The location and clubhouse is great. Balcony was peaceful and always full of the sound of birds. I wish I could stay but the parking situation is too inconvenient if you want to have guests ever. This place has the strictest parking compared to others around. You cant even have visitors in the lots on weekends when students go home or over summer when the whole lot is pretty much empty. If my parents are visiting I have to know in advance when the office is still open to get them a pass and then ...
they have to park OUTSIDE of the apartment complex area, across the street from the main entrance and down a little. So if you have a significant other or want to have friends over, you only can have one guest car and you will need to drive off site to pick them up from the guest lot. During the winter they plowed so the snow was all pushed up behind the cars and everyone had to shovel their car from being unstuck in the parking spaces. A few times I couldnt risk them doing this because I had work early in the morning and I had to park on campus and walk there when it was still dark out. Besides this it isnt a bad place to live as a student and I enjoyed the environment.

A Great Space!

May 23, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
If you are looking for housing University oaks is definitely a great move. The apartments come completely furnished, and all utilities are included except electric. Which is the cheapest of utilities.. The price seemed high to me at first but when I looked at places around Kent it is actually right in the middle when it comes to apartment complexes. Oaks has solid security measures and a great pool! If you need a safe and affordable space that is across the street from campus I would recommend ...
university oaks is the place for you.

Not worth the price

May 21, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
The apartments are very small for the price you pay, plus rent doesn't include electricity, laundry, or parking. The A/C and heating units are extremely old and often nonfunctional, the internet is provided through a terrible, unknown company, and the doors aren't sealed well enough to keep bugs out. Additionally, management refuses to work with you and is often "too busy" to meet with you. To top it off, some of their employees are young adults or students who also live here, and many times one ...
of the male employees has drunkenly disturbed us. The amount of stress that University Oaks has provided me during my final year of college was uncalled for. Do not make the mistake of living here.
