This location has been very well at maintaining the property and being able to assist with anything! Having a gated community makes me feel safe! I recommend signing your least with Locale. read more

Lived here 3 years and it's been great! Very quick service and I love how pet friendly they are

I've lived in locale for 3 years now and it has been really fun! The pool and tanning beds are my favorite amenities and the maintenance crew is top notch! read more

The front desk staff is super nice and accommodating to the needs of tennants. The maintenance staff is also super nice and response very quickly to most maintenance request. Unfortunately the Wi-Fi here doesn't work really great and the walls are thin so if you have loud upstairs roommates or neighbors, it can get quite loud. Overall pretty good value for the price you pay and a lot of amenities if you choose to use them. read more

I've lived here for a few months now, I absolutely love it. I just wish the tanning bulbs would be changed, but other than that the amenities are great! Maintenance is on top of everything, the office workers are quick to help, and the majority of the residents are okay to live next to. read more

Don't live here!! The management is awful, they never have parking for guests or residents, and they lie about amenities offered!

The gym is covid safe and friendly staff. love the amenities. clean equipment and abs great yoga studio with tv and classes to follow along to. read more

Locale Student Housing - pool area - Apartments Near Me - Allendale, Michigan

I have lived here for almost three years now and I have not had any major issues. I love the flat utility rate and the walk in closet! My only complaint would be not always having access to pick up my packages. read more

As more and more apartments were continuing to show no vacancy, I contacted Locale hoping for a diamond in the rough and that's exactly what I found! GVSU off campus living is littered with poor management and what feels like a lifetime to finally secure a spot in an apartment. Locale gave me the opposite experience and made it so easy to complete a lease and sign the agreement. The staff is friendly and always ready to help, I can't wait to live here! read more

I've lived at Evolve Student Living for two years, and it's hands down the best place I've ever lived. The amenities are fantastic (gas grills and fire pit, humongous pool, breakfast in the morning, gym, tanning, and Starbucks coffee to name a few), the staff is so friendly and helpful, and the apartments themselves and stylish and clean. Payments are unbelievably easy. As a resident, they make it really easy to be able to check your balance online through your account on their website. Also, you can pay rent month-to-month or all at once. Utilities are also payable directly through your resident account. Whenever I've had an issue, I can call or text the office and it's either fixed by the end of the day or we made a plan to fix it ASAP. If you contact management, they're really flexible with payments and are even willing to set up a payment plan with you as long as you keep them in the loop. I'm so sad to be moving out in July; the only bummer about Evolve is that they don't have a single bedroom floorplan. Even after I move out I'll definitely sneak back in for breakfast. Thanks Evolve! read more

As a Grand Valley student I have LOVED living at locale! It is super close to a bus stop which is convenient to get to and from class even in the winter time! The apartments are super nice and cozy and the amenities are amazing. My favorite part is the pool and pool deck! The maintenance team is also one of the best ever! They are always super informative, nice, helpful, and quick to come and fix whatever problem there is! (especially when my roommates and I struggle with our microwave) read more

My roommates and I love living here! So many great amenities and it is so updated and nice especially for the price.

Amazing clean amenities, staff is super sweet! Cassidy is amazing! Parking can be a little tricky, but overall an amazing place to live for GV students. read more

Clean and well put together apartments that offer many amenities! Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and come with all the furniture you need. I would recommend Locale to my friends read more

Good amenities, nice and responsive staff, gives out free food and other things, nice pool

Although this is my first semester being here, I have really enjoyed my stay here at Locale. The staff is super nice and friendly and they really care about their residents. Locale constantly has different events and contests going on at least once per month. They also are very on top of keeping up on maintenance and keeping the property nice and clean. Which I really appreciate because the last complex I lived at was really bad at that. The amenities are nice but lacking in some areas (small details, nothing major). My only major complaint is the amount of parking for residents. When I tend to stay out late I always seem like I have to hunt for a spot to park when I get home. Otherwise, I have thoroughly enjoyed living here at locale, and I would highly recommend it!!! read more

Locale is an amazing place to live! They have great amenities and so many fun events to go to! Their living space is very modern and feels like home! read more

I still have not received my my missing package and the alpine was the first pool to open which is where I'll be living next year. I do pay over $700 a month to live here and it has gotten up to$730. To add to this, I recently moved out and they charged me $75 for my forgotten shower curtain being left as well as no more than 10 items of food forgotten in the fridge. read more

I love Locale! Very nice place to live and great people in maintenance and front desk staff if you have a question or problem in your apartment. I chose to continue my lease next fall because I love it so much! read more

I've been living here for a few months and have already signed for another year, l love it. The management is great and the amenities make it easy to live here as a student. read more

They are really good. The manager is really nice and very helpful. The apartments building are clean and if anything goes wrong the maintenance team is super helpful to fix it. I had two issues with my bathroom door and my window had a draft and the blinds were broken and I just put in a request to get it fixed and the very next day they sent someone out to help. I just wished it didn't take forever to get the dang tv to turn on but that's not that important. The only thing that sucks is there's dog poop everywhere it's disgusting and it's not evolves fault that the dogs owners don't pick it up since they have doggie bags for that reason but I feel like they should enforce that the owners must clean up after their dogs read more

The front desk has always been so nice and helpful even in times that I've had a problem. The apartments are really nice and worth the money. 10/10 suggest Locale read more

Friendly people! Fun events! Fast maintenance :) i love loving at locale and will be resigning!

Highly recommend living at locale! Such a wonderful environment!!! So many activities to be involved in and so many ways to meet new people!! Such a great living environment! read more

Cassidy and Kaitlyn were so helpful at the front desk! The staff is probably the best part about living at locale.

This has been a wonderful place to live! My roommates and I have lives here for one year now and loved it

I have lived at Locale for one year, and I renewed my lease for another because I love it! The amenities are super nice, my favorite being the pool! The office staff is very friendly & the maintenance are very on top of things and always make sure our unit is in good condition. Locale is the best place I've lived! read more

Locale is actually a great place to live. I moved here in 2017-2018 for grad school and it's single-handedly the prettiest apartment complex to live in in this area. One positive thing I can say about Locale is that they try. They try very hard to show you they care about your stay here. They have a lot of activities where you can come, get free food, and socialize (if that's you). Last thanksgiving they have a small feast. It was actually brilliant. There was different pies, turkey, mashed potatoes, this delicious drink (I don't remember the name) and other types of food as well. For Cinco de Mayo this year, they had slightly frozen mango with tajin and lemon. It was devine. The community is also very safe and well lit at night. Maintenance are a gem. They are super kind and always helpful. They typically come on time and really do fix the problem. There's a fire pit here and three grills for anyone to use. The design of this complex is quite impressive for off campus student housing. And the price makes sense. I pay $757 for a two bedroom and that's with electricity and water. They have made significant improvements from when I was a first time grad student. In the summer time the grass is well-manicured and the cemented walkways and sidewalks are clean and poop free. The staff really do their best to be polite and friendly and the are truly professional. I can go on about how they have breakfast for us every morning and do their best to remain stocked through out the week. Again the maintenance team is a pretty big deal. I had an issue with my bathtub not draining. I spoke to them about it and on the same day they came to fix the issue. I haven't had any issues ever since and I'm very grateful for that! Now where there are pros, there are cons. During the winter months, there can be dog poop on the snow/grass. But! That's not because of Locale themselves. The people living here are supposed to pick up after their dogs and they are told repeatedly to do so but maybe because of winter and it being cold, they don't always do that. Also, the two bedroom is significantly smaller than the three and that's utterly frustrating because you pay more. But! Of course you only have one roommate as opposed to two and if you didn't come with your friend group, having two roommates can be a bit vexing. Note: Locale did something wonderful for me when I was going to leave my three bedroom situation. They waived my transfer fee and I only paid what was deducted from my previous payment. I was ecstatic. They really do try to work with you. Sometimes things may not work out but that's life. The walls are a bit thin but to honest, I think that's just the entire buildings here in Allendale. I've lived in another complex and it was the same. I lived at The Lodge in Allendale and the walls were super thin so don't believe the hype. That's the same everywhere here. The residents here are nice also and I think they are mostly welcoming. I'm not the most social and can get annoyed quite easily but so far people have been nice. I'm giving Locale 5 stars on Yelp because I don't think they need their rating to increase to at least a 4. Im going back to GVSU again for a different Masters and know I will be happy renting here. ***I wish they had one bedroom apartments though**** read more

I've lived at locale for 2 years now and have loved everything about it! big rooms with attached bathroom and walk-in closet!! Also great amenities like pool and study room!! Sad having to leave! read more

I just moved in and my experience has been great! They were super helpful prior to move in and continue to be as I'm new here!

Tho a little pricey, the amenities are good. They offer a nice grill area and pool events that keep the apartment life lively. I live in a two person apt and it feels a little small, but not horrible read more

We love living at Locale! The amenities are awesome and they always have resident appreciation giveaways and food in the clubhouse which is so nice. The units are modern and the appliances are pretty new, also you get a walk-in closet and a nice bathroom to yourself. We just resigned to live here again! read more

Locale is a wonderful place to stay the stay! The staff is super helpful and the community is very safe hand has a home feel! The rooms a very spacious! read more

I love that their gym is still open and they keep it clean! It is super easy to secure a time slot and go!

I had ongoing roommate issues that management would not address. My concerns involved illegal activity and violations of the lease within my unit that my roommates were participating in. Since management would not address my situation directly, I had to turn to security to uphold my lease. My situation escalated eventually leading Evolve to releasing me of my lease altogether. However, I still had to chase down their terrible management for more than a month after I moved out to get my refunded rent. I would not recommend this place. It is clear that management is only in for it for the money and let me go because it would be cheaper than evicting both of my roommates. I would never recommend Evolve. Both my parents and I had to contact their corporate company to rush a resolution to my situation. Evolve's head manager gave my mother the wrong name of his boss at corporate. The alternative housing options management presented me with were poor attempts to compensate for their ineffective management. I wouldn't have wished my situation on anyone, and there are so many better options out there in terms of off-campus student living. read more

An incredible community that keeps improving each year! From the great amenities, feee breakfast, and spacious apartments, I've never wanted to live anywhere else in Allendale! read more
