Meadowbrook Apartments

Meadowbrook is probably one of the best locations for student housing. The complex has a variety of student and professional residents. Their "expansion" buildings are nice looking but noisy, with thin walls and ceilings. They have a good routine for dealing with noise and nuisance complaints, but in my case there have been horrible ongoing problems. Older buildings seem quieter, but in some cases have reported mold and other problems which have been slow to be fixed. My experience with maintenance has been excellent. Management is "okay."

a bit pricey for how dated these apartments are but great location

The first year was not bad. However, the second year they left me without a shower for an entire month and it was acceptable to them because I could "take a bath". They also renew your lease without your permission because they add it to the contract and make no exceptions even after leaving you without a shower, not apologizing and then not even as to give you a discount on the next months rent. The management is very poorly professional. They also did nothing to increase security after a random person was able to access the building and start a fire. The building holding all the studio apartments has a long hall connecting the enterences to the studio apartment and two door on either end of the building to get to the hallway there are no locks to the outside doors.

Roughy beginning with them because they double sold our apartment but they accommodated to us and help us get moved in as soon as they can. They fix things pretty quickly when you do a maintenance request. I usually find close parking to my apartment. Rent is easy to pay and straight forward

Overall, a great place to live close to campus, but definitely not worth half my monthly pay. Thick walls. One of the cheaper places to live in Lawrence. In-unit washer/dryer, which is great, and incredibly close to the bus station if you're without a car. As far as communication and services from the complex, it's mediocre at best. During the winter, the snowplows often trap cars in their parking spaces, and the complex refuses to help you. Covered parking is an extra fee per month. Maintenance often takes around a week to be fulfilled, unless it's an emergency.

It's of average quality.

For the rent we're paying, it's a good deal. Maintenance service could be much better but the location is great and the apartments are pretty decent too.

My apartment unit is in good shape, and we haven’t had major problems so far. Do be warned, maintenance is slow. Meadowbrook includes many buildings and units. I would recommend touring the unit you will rent ahead of time because there seems to be a large range of conditions they are in. It’s very close to KU’s western and main campuses (about 25 minute walk to main part of campus, about 10 to the edge of campus) and right across the street from the bus station, which is great!

It's more expensive than it's worth, but that's largely true of renting in general. As always, it'll be cheaper with roommates. For Meadowbrook, your experience will greatly depend on the leasing agent you end up working with, and the office is not the fastest at responding once you're in the system. The buildings themselves are fine but they're not new by any means.

I have enjoyed living at Meadowbrook apartments. It is very close to campus and a very quiet area. The buildings are old so there are some maintenance issues, however the management is quick to fix and willing to work with you to make sure things get resolved. I have lots of space for a one bedroom and will continue to live here.
