Great for Grad. Students who don't care about social life downtown
I live in a 1Bed/1Bath apartment in Building 3. It's a great building, appliances are perfect for what I need (dish washer, washer+dryer, etc.) and it's quite easy to get to and from campus (even with the bridge being under construction). Heat is included in rent so if you want to crank that heat during the cold months go for it. I personally keep my apartment between 62-68 but I'm sure if you wanted 70+ you could get it to that.
There is no gym so if you're looking for a building w/ include gym amenities, look elsewhere.
The one downside is that if you're a social animal, getting to and from downtown can be a hassle. At this point, there aren't many RideShare services available and the bus schedule is not too convenient for going downtown late at night.
If that doesn't bother you, Coal yard is a great spot to be.

Excellent Apartment
Solid well-built apartment. Lots of natural light. Solid walls that are pretty soundproof. Complex is overall very quiet, although Fairview has gotten a little louder this year. Landlord is very responsive and attentive.

Spacious, new-ish, and close to it all
Coal Yard apartments are a solid option for living near Cornell. The apartments are spacious and well-maintained. The building is always tended to. They are ideally located near other MBA students in Maplewood. Best for a couple or 1-2 roommates. Only downside is its slightly overpriced. A hidden gem amongst the popular CTT and Maplewood complexes!

Great Apartment
Love living in Coal Yard. My 1B/1Ba is very spacious. The internet is decent and having in unit washer and dryer is nice. I wish there was a gym but overall very happy with my decision to live here.

Smaller community with great internet
Coal Yard apartments has two apartment buildings, one is the taller apartment building, and the other is a separate building with about 10 units. The walls are very thin in the other building. The quality is better in the taller apartment building. Internet is very stable compared to CTT or Maplewood. The landlord is very friendly and helpful. The Coal Yard apartments complex also have parking spots available at extra cost, either covered or uncovered. No gym is available. Internet, gas and water are included. Garage fees are charged per the rental lease. Laundry is in-unit. The apartments can be furnished (at extra charge) or unfurnished. Electricity is extra and billed by the utility company. Coal Yard is about 10-20 minutes from campus and pretty convenient. The rooms are bigger than CTT or Maplewood. There's a bus stop outside the building.

Great Building But Loud
Coal Yards is a well-kept building with an easy walk to Sage. However, the sound insulation is terrible. I can hear my upstairs neighbor walking or when they turn on the washing machine. Not a great option is you are looking for quiet.

Coal Yard Apartments
Apartments are new and in great condition. Flat, 15 minute walk to Sage or Breazzano. Bus stop across the street from complex.
The smoke detectors are incredibly sensitive. Detectors go off multiple times a day throughout the building.
It's a great place to live with only a few minor inconveniences.

Great Location & Quality
Coal Yard has been a wonderful place to live. It's a bit expensive for parking, but there are indoor garage spaces available. The building also has a rooftop patio, which is a great place to have a glass of wine with friends from the building or neighboring Maplewood. The apartments are very spacious and the management is very responsive to any concerns or maintenance issues. There is also a lovely café out front with delicious sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Plus the walk to school is flat! Unfortunately, no pets are allowed.
