North Wood Apartments

My girlfriend and I are very happy with our 1 bedroom patio apartment at North Woods. There’s an included gym, parking, and there’s a bus stop in the apartment complex that goes directly to the law school. The same bus also goes to the commons, which makes it easy to get dinner and drinks on the weekends.

Pets are allowed, and the deposit for them wasn’t exorbitant. The apartment is fairly spacious for the price, and we feel like we got a MUCH better deal than apartments closer to campus, and it’s only a few minutes drive/bus anyway.

Maintenance is easy, and there’s an online system (including an app) for requesting service. The maintenance guys are very nice and get things done in a timely manner.

We have a dishwasher, but no garbage disposal or in room washer/dryer. You CAN spring for an in room washer/dryer, but I think we did the math and determined it wasn’t worth it. There are shared washer dryer units in every building that run you about $3-4 for a wash and dry.

Our one complaint is that the snow plowing leaves something to be desired. It’s difficult for people to get out of the lot in the morning because the plows usually show up about when people are leaving for work, and not before, so the lot is often a mess right after a nighttime snowfall. That being said, they’re good about getting it cleared after a day.

Zero complaints about the apartment itself, we like the layout and the space for the cost. NYSEG recently replaced all the lights with LEDs, so that keeps the energy bill down, which is nice.

My girlfriend and I are very happy in our one bedroom patio here. We feel that the price is fair for the area and the amount of space we have, and love that pets are allowed. The apartment appears well maintained, and we haven’t had any issues. Our only complaint is that the snow removal can leave a little to be desired, and it’s sometimes difficult to get out of the parking lot in the morning after it snows.

Quiet neighborhood. Buss will pick you up in the neighborhood and drop you off in front of the law school. Lots of square footage. Near the mall and Tops.
