Orchard Crossing

Newish but expensive and unresponsive management

This apartment building has apartments to rent in the range of $1300 to $1900 a month. It is the most convenient apartment for traveling to the law school because it is only 1-2 blocks away (10 minute walk). The rooms are in good condition, spacious, and definitely some of the nicer ones I have seen in the area. For me, I am willing to pay a higher price for the convenience of being within walking distance of the law school, but the price is still very steep and maybe a little too high. I absolutely love it here and would recommend it, as long as you can reasonably afford it, or are comfortable with having to pay less in other areas (ie tuition) and are comfortable with finding a budget in regard to that.

This apartment is the perfect size for one person. High-end amenities as well. It's also a 5-minute walk to the law school which is perfect

The management do not care about the tenants or upkeep of their property whatsoever. I lived at this building for nearly 5 years and at first it was well maintained and the staff seemed to care for the residents. After the first year it was all downhill from there. I went over 2 years not having a working dishwasher at this building. Requested several work orders and every time the maintenance guy came and asked “did you try unplugging it?” They would make no real repairs and my dishwasher would break again within a few hours. In the time I lived at this building I completely lost faith that management and maintenance had any competence to be running an apartment building. At times I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe at this apartment. There was a time in 2020 where a homeless guy was squatting in a 1st floor unit and would ask people for money in the lobby after the office closed. When confronted about it management claimed he lived there, and completely lied about the situation to its residents. Since 2020-2021 (almost 4 years now) the pool in the main level of the building has been leaking into the parking deck with substantial visible damage to residents cars and the structure of the building. On the west facing side of the building there are both lateral and horizontal cracks in the foundation the exceed 20ft in length. The building is quite literally falling apart from the management’s neglect. In 2022 the fob readers to the buildings stopped working and didn’t work for nearly 6 months until they were fixed. We couldn’t get into our building through the main entrances during the entire 6 months and had to use a single door in the back alleyway. There’s no excuse for these things having been neglected for so long, when they impact so many peoples lives there. It’s simple, they do not care about the people that rent from them, and do not care for maintaining a healthy standard of living for their residents. There are a lot of other options in Eugene and any of them are better than this place.

It's a nice place to live. For me, what justified the price was that it is walking distance to the law school and it is furnished.

I live in a studio so there is less space than I would like. Additionally, the rent is on the higher side in Eugene. However, the it is definitely worth the money. The apartment is close to the law school, the building is very secure (with indoor parking) and the amenities are a nice addition that one can and should take advantage of.

Pricey apartment but the location makes up for it. Only a 5 minute walk from the law school and has great amenities including a pool, gym, and fully furnished apartments.

Orchard Crossing is very close to campus, especially the law school. I purchase street parking and always have somewhere to park, though sometimes parking can be difficult when there are events at Knight Arena. Many restaurants, bars, and coffeeshops are within walking distance, grocery and post office within a block. Amazing private gym and pool, young and vibrant community, and great management that responds to concerns and maintenance request quickly. Totally worth the price!
