Top student reviews
Only one elevator. Utilities aren’t a set price, can be anywhere from $25 to $95. Have to pay an extra $75 for furnishing. No amenities, just a courtyard and isn’t really maintained
Pet friendly, reliable maintenance, courtyard with wifi, valet trash.
Lowkey there is a small $10ish/month fee to build your credit, as well as a mitigated risk fee each month if you don't have a co-signer. Huge rooms, furniture optional ($), maintenance is quick, refurbished a year ago.
