I've lived in the Green Meadows Apartments for about a year…read more -The apartments are clean, quiet, and have much better construction than the cheap materials they use @ many college housing developments around Columbia. (For example, better quality windows, flooring, cabinets, faucets). -I rarely see my neighbors but when I do they are friendly. Many are students or young professionals. You can hear noise in the hallways/stairwell but not in the apartment itself. -There is TONS of storage space. I have a lot of cookware and bakeware and there is plenty of space in the cabinets. The stoves are easy to clean and use gas, which are much better if you are a serious cook. -My walk in closet is huge. There is plenty of room and shelving for storage, not just for clothes. I can even some small furniture/bookshelves/desks in the closet. -Great location. Tons of restaurants nearby and bars (Murry's, Taphouse) and Hyvee is right across the street. Takes me about 5 minutes to drive to downtown. -There is a security entrance where you must enter a code to get in the building. The neighborhood itself is very safe.. Green Meadows road is a great family friendly area. I regularly take walks at night on the main road. Overall a very ideal and safe living situation for a younger female living alone. -The apartment manager (Twila) is extremely professional, friendly, and resolves issues very quickly. She has been a pleasure to work with. She checks her email constantly and notifies tenants of inspections or any news by email. Utilities and internet/cable are included in your rent so paying your bill is extremely simple. Much easier to budget. Really the only drawback I have found living here is the lack of an in-unit washer/dryer. I take clothes to the neighboring Lilypad Laundry (a very nice laundromat) but obviously it would be more convenient to have them in the apartment.. other than that this place has been perfect for me. I would live here longer but I am moving out of state!

Management continues to charge me recurring monthly fees for both renters insurance and security deposit installments, despite the fact that both of these requirements have already been fully satisfied and taken care of.I have previously provided proof of my independent renters insurance policy (and/or settled my move-in security deposit requirements), meaning these extra monthly fees are completely invalid. I have attempted to resolve this directly through the management office and resident portal, but the erroneous charges remain on my ledger.Now they are attempting to charge late fees because I didn't pay for the fake charges by the first of the month! They love to charge fees, I had this problem at the start of my lease last year, but 2 months later and lots of phone calls I was finally charged correctly. So I resigned the lease for another year and I contacted the management to make sure charges would not be an issue this time...WRONG! they assured me all was taken care of in June 2026, but once again, August 1 2026 (new lease start) the same BS charges showed up! I really think they try to see just how long they can get away with fake charges. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and unfortunately I'm stuck here until my new lease ends.

I thought U-Place was going to be a great option because it was affordable and close to both downtown and campus. For some context, my lease started the summer after my freshman year at Mizzou, and I stayed in Como to gain residency. I am originally from Wisconsin. The weekend I moved in, my boyfriend came to help me get settled. Upon move-in, the condition of the apartment was disgusting. It did not look clean at all. There was grease caked onto the walls in the kitchen, the vents were covered in dust, and the window in my bedroom was decaying and duct-taped shut. During the first weekend, I saw multiple roaches in the kitchen and bathroom area. I immediately emailed management and asked them to send an exterminator. I also sent them a picture of a roach, and they assured me that it was only a waterbug. However, a waterbug is a type of roach. They replied saying an exterminator was scheduled and said, "The previous tenant did not make us aware of this issue." In the meantime, I bought my own roach traps to set up. While installing them, I found previous roach traps that I had not placed myself, which immediately raised some alarms. Prior to the exterminator coming, the following weekend after I moved in, my parents drove down from Wisconsin to bring me some more belongings and help me get settled. They, too, were horrified by the condition of the apartment. They immediately spent over $200 on cleaning supplies, and my mom and I spent two full days scrubbing every wall, vent, baseboard, etc. During this process, we found several more roaches of all sizes. We found a few in the shower, and at that point, I decided to shower at my gym for the time being. My parents were concerned for my safety and went to management themselves to talk to Chris and Doug. They said they would send cleaners in again and assured my parents that they would take the proper measures to help solve the problem. Doug also told my father that the building was likely getting torn down. This raised even more concerns as to whether meaningful improvements had actually been made or would be made. My mom was concerned and contacted a local attorney to seek advice. He told me to reach out to Columbia Neighborhood Services and file a report. Prior to the exterminator coming, I also did an internet deep dive and found Reddit posts and reviews dating back to 2005 stating that University Place had roaches. Finally, the Monday after my parents left, the exterminator and maintenance guy came into our unit to service it. I had many questions for them, and as they answered, I noticed several discrepancies. I asked, "Can roaches travel from unit to unit?" They both replied that no, that shouldn't happen. However, about ten minutes later, they explained that in the past they had situations where they would spray one unit and the roaches would migrate to the unit next door. Then they would spray that unit, and the roaches would go back to the original one. They also blamed the problem on the fact that a lot of foreign exchange students live in the building. They said they were used to conditions much worse and that they didn't understand that these students had the right to contact management to send in an exterminator because they thought they were going to get in trouble. If that is the case, shouldn't they be educating these foreign students about their rights and making sure they know they can report these issues? Lastly, the maintenance guy and exterminator said that they were servicing seven other units that day. The exterminator also said that there was no set extermination plan, but that he usually comes around 20 times a year as needed. I asked if our unit had been serviced in the past. They said definitely not, and that if it had been serviced, it had been well over five years ago. This conversation felt very off to me. They were overly friendly, and I personally felt like I was being played for a fool because of my young age. After they left, Columbia Neighborhood Services contacted me back. They explained that they had gotten reports from University Place previously and had talked to management. They said management had informed them that my unit had actually been serviced two months prior to me moving in in May. This was the final straw for me, as I now felt that multiple U-Place staff members had lied to me. I wrote a letter requesting termination of my lease and threatened legal action if necessary. Thankfully, I was able to find new housing and get out of my lease. This whole entire situation caused me extreme stress, depression, and anxiety. I cried myself to sleep at night. I was scared to go to bed, and during the two weeks I was there, I often only slept around four hours each night. I was scared to use the bathroom, and I ended with medical issues pertaining to my bladder.

But this insurance does not cover the renter or any personal items. Better insurance is easy to get but registration with the Domain is difficult. #2 credit reporting scam. This one is golden. "In order to help the student build credit, the Domain will report monthly to the credit bureau on payment of each months rent". This service is a additional monthly fee. And you need to opt out. Opting out was a hassle and the confirmation back to the Domain was frustrating. #3 Excessive fees associated with the electric bill. Renter's are required to put the electric bill under one of the tenants names or the keys to the apartment will not be given out. We'll that is the policy. This was not the case. Instead they just put a 50 dollar per tenant fee. That's right a 200 dollar fee to pay a 65 dollar bill. I think this is one of the nicest places in COMO for kids to live. Just such a shame that they nickle and dime them with these scams. Let the buyer beware!

It is an unethical SCAM! And for the places where we make out actual paint chips, scratches, or stains, The Quarters completely ignored that these exact conditions were photographed and reported on the move-in inspection report. They are now attempting to bill for literally the exact same paint chips and scratches that we reported and photographed at move-in. They assume that flustered parents and distracted college kids will just pay the ridiculous and unethical bills and move on. Again, BEWARE!!!!!!!
