Elliston 23

Overall there is a lot to like about this apartment. Nice staff, ok amenities (pool, smallish but solid gym, coffee machines), generally clean, and very close to Owen (10 min walk). However, management has also made a number of small but inconvenient changes that I dislike (such as switching our fobs which open every door to an application where you have to scroll through an enormous list to find the door you want to unlock, and then offering to sell us fobs). Overall seems like they find lots of ways to nickel and dime you. Parking $100 per month. Mandatory “valet trash” and “package courier” fees. With utilities, my total rent is probably $4-500 higher.

There are some good restaurants close by but if you want to be in the middle of the action the fun bars and stuff are across campus, closer to Owen (still only ~15 min walk from here). I’ll probably move to that area next year but if you want a quieter experience this isn’t a terrible option.

I love living at Elliston. I have two large dogs and they also love it. My apartment is newly renovated and is like brand new, but without the horrible new construction noise . I lived in new construction in Bellevue and could hear EVERYTHING my neighbors were doing. I'm sure they also could hear my dogs. I haven't heard my neighbors here once so 10/10 on the sound here. Sometimes I hear street noise but nothing unreasonable. Overall great gym and really nice pool. They also just put in a pickle ball court so that's cool.

Nice building, nice amenities. Pretty walk through campus to my classes in Peabody. Right next to Centennial Park & lots of restaurants. Building is made of concrete so you never hear any noise. Balconies available. Maintenance always responsive and effective without waiting long at all. Only complaint is the price tag.

Nickel and d

Very good apartment building, good location, 12 minute walk to Owen, plenty of restaurants and stools within walking distance. Helpful and professional management. Good sized pool and pool area. Nice resident lounge, small gym.

I’ve lived in two units over the last couple years. The model units are nice but upon moving in both units had paint on the carpets, random construction leftovers, disconnected washers/dryers, clogged drains, leaking pipes, and broken electrical outlets and appliances. Management is getting more attentive but early on it was hard to get any contact with them. The company also has changed every few months, but it seems like the new management is in for the long haul and hopefully improving service.

The biggest issue is that a large portion of the units are air BnBs. This can result in loud parities at all hours and very crowded amenities. There is now a courtesy officer on site for noise complaints so this might get better, but it makes studying and exam season absolutely miserable. They are also in the process of converting more units into air BnBs.

Good experience. Pricey but close to campus. Very pet friendly. Property management living on site.

The location is great and the pool is really nice. But they just added Airbnb's to the building, so its kind of a rotating neighbors and really loud situation. Management is not responsive, there's only two maintenance staff for the whole property so things aren't really maintained or fixed in a timely way because its an impossible job. My rent went up $470 in two years, and you should expect to pay anywhere between 250 and 280 for utilities each month, the internet contract, shared water and recycling fee is literally theft. I would also expect them to sell the building to a different private equity company in the next couple years, they definitely view the building as a capital asset rather than a home for 300+ people. I'm breaking my lease two months early because I just really don't like living there anymore. The old management group used to be a lot better but these people just don't care. It's not really affordable for students now anyway, the current vacant 1/1s are going for like 2400, and they're smaller than the one I live in now.

This location is great because it is within walking distance of campus and its location in the city. You have great proximity to restaurants and Centennial park. The management of this apartment complex has not been very helpful during my time, and I have had 3 different ownership groups take over in a year and a half. The property upkeep is not kept clean. And there have been a lot of issues with car break ins due to a lack of security cameras and continuously broken parking gates.

Maintenance is fine, the garage door has been broken for months and no impetus to change it despite numerous complaints and requests from many residents.

Walls are thick so noise is not really an issue and it's very walkable to campus which is a huge plus. I like that it's away from Midtown and a little quieter near Centennial Park. It can feel like a bit of a food desert though with no grocery stores nearby and somewhat limited options for restaurants immediately nearby.

They are renovating the apartment, including individual apts and they look nice but they will definitely charge a premium for them. Rent is increasing from 1750 to 1880, a big jump.

Internet is "included" but really you pay for it in the lease, just not to Xfinitiy directly.
