One of the most poorly insulated apartment complexes I have ever been in. You can hear every…read morefootstep, conversations, doors opening and closing, showers running. Not only from neighbors above, below but also on the sides. While maintenance is quick to come to the apartment, the actual repairs often drag out for weeks without resolution. The appliances are the lowest quality possible. They do not match what you pay. Lawn care and snow removal are very poor. Half the sprinklers do not work, and the lawn is brown throughout the summer. During the winter I had to go to work late due to not being able to get out of my parking spot. In fact, neighbors often had to shovel their own spots and walkways. This happened multiple days. Management turnover is frequent, and we often find ourselves dealing with new staff who seem inexperienced in property management. If feels like important decisions are being made by staff who lack the experience or authority to properly handle residents' concerns.

I feel safe walking our dog at any time of day. Kids love the pool and outdoor area. Quiet at night and any neighbor noise is minimal. Garage has plenty of room for some storage as well as my car. I've loved my time here!

I lived at University Meadows with my family and overall the apartment itself was fine, but the…read moremove-out process was extremely disappointing and costly. Some walls had minor pen/pencil markings from our kids, and I was fully prepared to pay for repainting those walls. Instead, management charged me for repainting the entire apartment, explaining that their vendor does not paint just one wall. While I understand their vendor policy, it seems unfair that tenants are forced to cover the full cost of a complete repaint -- management could have reasonably shared that expense as part of normal turnover. On top of that, I was also billed for carpet replacement even though I documented at move-in that the carpet was already old, and for roach treatment even though we never saw a single roach during our tenancy. I disputed these charges multiple times, but management refused to adjust anything. In the end, I had to pay nearly $2,800 in move-out fees. Advice to future residents: Document everything with photos at move-in and move-out, and be aware that even minor wear and tear can result in major charges here.

My hot water keeps going out and getting ahold of maintenance is also a nightmare. Good luck even finding the number for emergency maintenance. People park on running vehicles in the handicap parking areas for months. The grounds are full of dog poop. The hallway had dog throw up in it for 2 weeks.I think it just got walked on enough to make it disappear. Marijuana smoking is done in every building and it stinks. There is a no smoking rule but I smell marijuana and cigarette smoke daily. Meth use is a normal thing here. I am grateful for a place to lay my head but I am too embarrassed to have my family or friends visit.
