This is a nice apartment building, and there are significant perks such as free, private, single-car garage parking, in-unit laundry, central air, and new appliances. It is a very spacious 1-bed. It is a very comfortable place to live, and management is friendly. My complaints are that there is a lack of any sort of outdoor green space or communal areas, so there is little opportunity to get to know your neighbors. The package room is driving-distance away, and if you want to pay your rent by paper check to avoid a $50/month "convenience fee" online (!!), you also have to drive to the leasing office. There is no recycling offered. The neighborhood is very hit or miss: you are very close to the CWRU sports fields, which have security at night and seem safe, but also close to some sketchier neighborhoods surrounding the campus, where there are regular crime alerts from the local police.

I'm a CWRU graduate student, and I've been living in this apartment complex for a year now. The apartment itself is very modern and luxurious, which is expected for a rent of $1725 per month minus utilities. The location is very close to the main street of University Circle and is roughly a 5 minute drive to the Veale parking structure. Overall, the area is very safe and I haven't had any problems regarding safety. One downside is that the train tracks are relatively close, so you will hear train sirens almost every night. I had a couple of maintenance issues when I first moved in such as heating problems, but this was dealt with quickly. If you own a car, the personal garage is a major plus especially during the winter. Overall, if you can afford $1725 plus some more for utilities I would highly recommend the 118 Flats apartments.

First off, I love the place, its convenient, spacious, looks great. I take the healthline to school, ~10 min door to door. The application process and touring was a little iffy, but new management has since taken over the property. However, the apartments are a little close to the train tracks, so if you're a light sleeper, may not be great.
