Chase Village

Maybe not the best place for a family, but we are happy nonetheless. There were fleas in the apartment when we moved in which sucked.

It’s fine, the place is a little stuffy and it was pretty haphazardly rented to us. a good amount of issues when we moved in that we’re just never sorted. Main issue is that it’s over the river from the university.

Decent living situation

The apartment itself is dated and in some conditions a little wacky when it comes to some thing - and it's kinda far for social activities at the school (hard to simply walk to school). Management is responsive though and quick to fix stuff they messed up.

My roommate and I are both from out of state, so finding an apartment was not the easiest task before we moved here. Chase Village was one of the more accessible options since the law school starts so much earlier than the rest of UO. A lot of apartments wouldn't let us move in as early as August, but Chase Village had no issues with it. The apartments are pretty spacious, they put in new carpeting, and the kitchen has a ton of counter space. It's not the nicest place I've lived in, but I think it's a great option to live close to Autzen, close-ish to campus (it's a 10 minute drive, tops), and not pay too much in rent. The biggest issues we've had is with really noisy neighbors. Keep in mind that this is mostly student housing, so a lot of parties and inconsiderate undergrads can be really loud. However, we've had great experiences with the nighttime courtesy officer, who has gotten neighbors to quiet down when they're too loud. I think Chase Village is a great place for 1L while you get used to the area. (It's also important to mention that none of the buildings at Chase Village have central air conditioning. This may not be a surprise for anyone who has lived in Oregon before, but my roommate and I were shocked to find that out when we moved in. Once we bought window air conditioners, though, it was not a big deal at all.)

It has been good for what I needed

When I first moved here, they gave me a date, but the apartment wasn't ready. This was frustrating however they let us stay in their model home which was a great help. We had a few issues with our apartment but they have been quick to fix and tend to everything. The leasing office is very helpful as well. You can't beat the price for the size of the place. It includes one carport but 2 cars are permitted to park within the complex.
