Solid Place to Live
Nice, newly renovated building. Not fancy but very clean, with in-unit laundry and plenty of storage space. There have been issues with climate control, mainly in the winter, but management is actively working on fixing the problem. Management is responsive overall.

what is review title?
very bad experience!! The house is filled with roaches when i moved in. The trash room is always filled with garbages and smells. My room is see-through from the stairway. Can not control AC mode.

great location ... other stuff bumpy
Very convenient location. Very expensive for what you get. Good study spaces. Might be less chaotic in 24/25; in 2023, move-in was chaos after a rehab of the building over the summer. Big plus: it's furnished, which made moving much easier.

Just Okay
Great location and relatively fair price for living in studio with internet and water included in the rent, but management is not responsive and amenities breakdown from time to time.

Great Location
The apartment is 5-minute away from the law school. Ideal for first-year law students who are busy. The rent is very reasonable for the location and the amenities.

Convenient
Living across the street from the law school makes any downsides worth it. Building was just renovated so all the rooms are new with new appliances and furniture. All of it feels very cheaply made...but it's a furnished apartment so you can't complain too much. Building management is not very on top of running a building - amenities purport to exist but are frequently not functioning or have not been set up (e.g., a gym, package management system, trash/recycling). The building is entirely grad students...so the common areas are often pretty gross when people leave their garbage and discarded food containers everywhere. But at the end of the day if all you need is an apartment to yourself across from the school, it's hard to beat this building. And having all the utilities included is great and takes out any worry going in about cost variability.

Some problem so far but they’ve been fixed quickly

The Accolade
Extremely convenient location and it's great having all amenities included in the rent. Management is alright and since it's a new building there are a lot of maintenance issues (our dryers especially) that will hopefully be fixed by next year. The space is tiny-- you're essentially paying for convenience, not really the apartment itself.

Right Next to School
Very good location if you want to be next to school; was just constructed, so feels new and clean. Very small spaces, but for the price (and furnished state), it's great.

University City Reviews
- Close to campus (~20 min walk, ~8 min trolley ride)
- Generally safe because University City in general has been highly gentrified.
- Charming and diverse community
- CLARK PARK! (and the Farmers' Market!!!)
Cons:
- No nearby grocery stores (except Fresh Grocer which is gross)
- Can be sketchy after dark
