Second impression: Safe. For all you Dad's out there, those two are usually at the top of the list. After walking into the main office on a Sunday afternoon, our next two impressions: friendly & brand new! The office gal explained to us how they'd been open a year (explains the clean & new) and this place is designed on a quad living plan. Four bedrooms with private baths and a common kitchen & living room. Units are furnished. Now the bad news: Only one bedroom is available for the fall term and somebody is already interested. However, we were added to the list and advised to check back tomorrow in case that person backed out. Walked out of there telling both my wife & daughter that if the opportunity presents itself: POUNCE! This is the place for our daughter. The next day, we got that opportunity when our daughter got "the call" that the interested person was not going to take the room after all. Woo-hoo! Summer goes by. Our daughter has already Facebooked & connected with her future roommates, two of which are returning (staying over from last year). Everyone seems very nice. Moved our daughter in yesterday and I can't say enough what a pleasant experience this has been. From the moment we first saw this place to driving away yesterday. I feel VERY good, as a father, about where my little girl will be living this upcoming year. I'm even more confident that barring a bad experience with roommates, I don't think she'll ever want to leave!!! So far, so good. Safe to say that at this point: her accommodations for the remainder of her college years are "as good as it gets". However, as a dad and the "bill payer", I'm also docking a star for their $30 a month fee to use my air miles Visa to pay the rent! Take away that astronomical credit card fee and I'll be happy to give this place a full five stars. Some credit card fee is okay, but $30? Ten dollars is about the limit, guys!

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.

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.

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.

Walk to bald hill for hiking and trail running. Nice bike path to town and OSU. Bus stop out front. Assigned parking that never was an issue. Green space, massive jungle gym, and basketball court right around corner. Noise: I had crazy loud neighbors and the mngt handled them well. It took a little time (about 4 weeks) and notifying them of each occurrence. It finally stopped. Not sure what they did exactly, as they did not have black eyes nor broken bones, but things improved dramatically. Tenants: Grad students and some undergrads. But also working professionals, families, and some retired folks. Management: Friendly, accommodating, and attentive. Loved them! Maintenance: I had a few minor things that were handled fast within 24 hrs. Amenities: The little work out room is great and under used. Great pool and nice club house too. Apt quality: okay, here's where I think there is the greatest room for improvement. I do think that the units could use updating. They are tired although they try to keep them up. But, that said, having seen several of the other Corvallis apt complexes, Grand Oaks is the nicest with more mature residents. I think Corvallis generally has a supply-demand issue that makes it so that apt complexes don't have to compete as much for tenants. This looks to be changing. Slowly. Deposits: I got my full security and pet deposit back, no hassles and fast. Value: it does seem a bit more expensive but so glad I lived here based on some of the nightmares and annoyances a few of my friends and workmates have dealt with elsewhere.

First thing I will say is MOLD! 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.
