I have lived here for three years. This past year office management has become increasingly…read morefrustrating to deal with and my apartment living standards are horrific. I currently have a hole in the outside part of my window leading to mold growth all throughout the window making it translucent and making my room smell like mold (that could also be the mold that comes from the condensation of the cheap thin windows). When I talked to maintenance about this issue they said they would fix it and had put in a work order. While the main maintenance man is extremely kind, hardworking, and communicative, the front office has miscommunicated with me several times about when they are coming to fix my window. Telling me last minute (18 hours) prior they are coming at 9am and asking me move all of my stuff under and around the window. When speaking to the front office manager about this issue she acted as if I was being a nuisance for even asking for an update after no one showed up to do my window. As someone who has been living here for 3 years and has had my rent increase about $300 dollars, I find the way that they handled this completely inappropriate. If you would like to live in apartments with a mold problem and management that miscommunicates for $1,200 a month plus utilities this is the perfect place for you. Not to mention, they have changed the way we pay our rent 3 different times and kicked us all out of our apartment for 12 hours making us pack everything up during midterms in boxes so that they can redo the flooring (which honestly didn't even really need updating compared to other features of these apartments). Overall, living here has been disappointing, and I have really been wishing I moved to another apartment complex in Corvallis. While I know rent options are limited in Corvallis, I truly think it is worth searching for a different place with better management and living standards. 7th street on paper offers a lot of nice services but in reality the utilities barely work and the apartments are covered in mold plus the communication is frustrating. Also see below for my petri dish windows from a lack of argon gas and what looks like mold.

My problem is the can collectors dumpster dive there over and over during the day. They never shut the gate to the enclosure. When it's open so much paper and anything light ends up trashing 10th St., across Western and as far as blocks away. I know the manager does the best he can to keep the gate closed, probably has to close it a dozen times a day. My beef is someone should be sent to pick up the blown out trash littering 10th. Because it's out of your dumpster it's still your trash.

Rent only increased once over my 1.5 years there and it was not by much; they remained well below competitive rental prices given the condition, location, and size of their new units. Extremely responsive. The apartments themselves are brand new so obviously clean. Over a year and a half I never had a maintenance issue, although they would schedule times with each unit to do preventative care which last a few hours a year. Philomath is the opposite direction of Corvallis happenings so traffic is minimal. I moved due to a new job, otherwise I would have stayed there longer.

Club space/lounge is accessed through the front office, so doesn't seem to be used much. Office staff and maintenance crew work hard to keep the place clean and nicely landscaped. High levels of cleanliness at move-out, also provided with a pre-inspection to let you know what needs to be taken care of. Charge for carpet-shampooing after move-out. Tasteful, spacious units with large windows and standard modern finishes. Vinyl flooring in kitchen and bathrooms, short-shag carpet elsewhere, acrylic tub/shower inserts, plastic laminate cabinet doors, granite countertops. I took off a star due to lack of towel ring/bar near the bathroom sinks (an inconvenient oversight on the part of the developer?); using AI for a daily fluctuating rent price instead of keeping it at a set price; and finishes and appliances are more standard than luxe. Nevertheless, still highly recommend due to endeavors of staff and crew to keep the place nice, quiet, and tidy.

I called the Union that day and submitted an application. When I called the Union a few days later, they stated that the college student had given it to someone else. I was quite angry and after some back-and-forth I hung up on them. I got a call back about fifteen minutes later and the gentleman I spoke to offered a solution - he had found a different lease for me to take over for the month. It was a great place to stay for the month.

Hot water gets turned off for a day or two intermittently, not sure why its so often. Most of the outside doors do not work (our apartment door has always worked). There are 4 doors that let you into the complex but only 2 work reliably. When I first moved in my room had clearly been in the middle of renovation which had not been finished, there was still unpainted patches of plaster, and no shower curtain bar. Saw some middle aged woman come into the lounge area and use bathroom for about an hour, making scrubbing sounds in there. My friend said he had seen her here before at 1am for about an hour or two, just in the bathroom making sounds. I talked to the staff and they said she did not live here, did not know anyone who lived here, and did not work for the union, and amazingly to me they said that they weren't concerned about this. Came back from break and there was a big storage crate in my parking spot, went to the office a few times during business hours, no one there. Texted them a few times and they got back to me over two weeks later. And finally, it is insanely expensive for what you get.

Also, like some of the comments below, my son was also "upgraded" to a more expensive upper floor (with long elevator waits) without explanation. Running out of time and options, he paid.

The neighborhood is great (by library and across street from Central Park) and the location is unbeatable if you enjoy having access to downtown Corvallis bars and restaurants (5 min walk) but still want good proximity to OSU for work or study (10-15 min walk depending on which side of campus). Stacy and the rest of the Park Plaza staff are friendly and professional and very responsive on the rare occasions that problems may crop up. The units are large and airy and very comfortable. The rent is competitive for the area; spaces in the parking lot are extra but free on street parking is available.

They paint right over the…read moremold problems, we were forced to throw out half of our stuff due to this and they moved us to another unit, moving new people into the moldy one. Second thing I will say is that it is very poorly managed. There are 2 service guys that are expected to do all of the work including mold control, pest control, etc. these are jobs that should have been left to professionals considering the extent of the issues there. We had multiple water leakage issues (both very minor) and it was merely painted over both times, it always ended up coming back through. I would personally choose another place for this price point, there are nicer apartments down the road and closer to the university for the same price, and the staff here (besides the service guys) tend to seem annoyed whenever one calls about a service request. Another issue presented to us when we had first moved in was break ins. We were broken into 2x by somebody that had the key (because they never changed the locks) and I constantly feared for my safety. We got the locks changed after, but the attempted break ins continued for about a week. The pool was closed all year, not because of COVID but because Benton county health shut it down. Cars would be parked in spots for Months and management never did anything about it. Mind you there is little to no parking here as is. The place was so smoke damaged when we moved in we could wipe tar off of our windows. This place was a nightmare at times, but sometimes bearable- that being said, there are better places for this price point.

The pool and hot tub were never open and always shut down, the front office people are idiots and not helpful at all. Not to mention a girl named Courtney that everyone complains about. The community is near nothing close besides Safeway, and not to mention the apartment we moved into had paint everywhere, rust was in our fridge door, our lights didn't work for more than a week before we replaced them, the window seals look horrible, and the apartments do not hold heat what so ever so be prepared to fork up a bill. Oh not to mention they have garages that fit a smart car and when someone parks on the other side of your garage you won't be able to make a wide enough turn to get into your own garage. One positive was the gym. It is pretty nice, a little small but nice and it's 24 hours. All in all I will be writing rescuers anywhere I can on this place so people don't get scammed by looks on the outside of this place. DO NOT LIVE HERE
