Railway Manor Apartments

Overall I've had a good experience. Pros: Property management isn't strict, leaves you alone, units are fairly well maintained. Cons: Maintenance takes forever to complete.

This is my second year in the same apartment unit. Last year I had relatively few issues, but this year has been a different story. The main issues are:
- Maintenance - It's become clear that management cut back significantly on maintenance during Covid. As a result, things have been falling apart. The building is a typical Bloomington apartment built to the lowest possible standards. I had a serious roof leak (even though I'm on floor 2 of 3?) at the end of last year that I was told was fixed. It clearly was not and has been leaking again, resulting in moisture issues and mold. It also takes way too long for maintenance requests to be addressed. I have outstanding maintenance requests that were months old.
- Neighbors - Last year I had no issues with neighbors. Now the neighbors above me make noise constantly. It's clear that the floors/ceilings are incredibly thin with no insulation. I get woken up most mornings at 6 am to their dogs barking and pounding on the floor. I also had $100 worth of dog food stolen from the package area. The doors to the outside are not particularly secure. People treat the common areas disrespectfully (trash all over the parking lot, dog pee in hallways, etc.) and maintenance is slow to (or does not) respond.

For what you get (and what you don't), the rent is way too high.

Good for pets. A bit loud (next to train tracks and busy road). Spotty internet at times. Relatively new and clean. In-unit dishwasher and laundry.
