Unprofessional, Dishonest, and Unresponsive…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Axis Luxury Student Living and Axis Management has been nothing short of frustrating, disappointing, and completely unprofessional--especially regarding the return of my $1,491.05 security deposit. I vacated my unit early due to active military orders, which I provided more than 30 days in advance--exactly as required by federal law under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). Not only did I fulfill my lease obligations legally and ethically, but I also gave them multiple forwarding addresses (including my training location and current residence) to ensure they could return my deposit without issue. Instead, I received excuses, false promises, and outright lies. I followed up multiple times over several months--by email, phone, and even in person--with no resolution. When I delivered a formal demand letter in person, the office staff told me they had responded to my email the day before. That was completely false--I checked thoroughly, and no email was ever sent. Either they lied, or they are grossly incompetent. Either way, it's unacceptable. Let's be clear: under Utah Code § 57-17-3, landlords are required to return a security deposit (or provide a written explanation of any deductions) within 30 days of the tenant vacating the property. I moved out in January 2025, and it is now months later--with no refund and no legitimate explanation. Axis Management has shown a total disregard for basic legal compliance, military protections, and common decency. This is not just bad management--it's neglectful and possibly unlawful conduct. To any prospective tenants: think twice before signing a lease here. If this is how they treat a servicemember, you can imagine the level of respect they'll show others. I've been patient and professional throughout this entire process, but their continued failure to act has left me with no choice but to pursue legal action in small claims court. Avoid this place at all costs.

This place deserves a negative 5-star review…read more Living here sucks. Management is terrible; one of the front desk ladies is short-tempered with their own residents. I had a simple question about the mailroom, just to be cut off with the response, "I'm not the postal service, so go ask them," and when I tried to clarify that I just wanted to know which mailbox was mine, "we are NOT the postal service". Another incident I had, my roommates were violating the trash stuff, and all 4 of us got charged 6 times for violations I had no idea were going on, because they refused to issue warnings. My water heater was not working for 6 days, maintenance and management were painfully unhelpful, and no one even came to work on the heater until day 4. No one gave us updates on when strangers would be coming in and out of the apartment unannounced. My parents had had enough of the water heater and called management just to be lied to about what was going on. This place, the building, is beautiful. Great walk to campus, and the residents are a blast. Do not live here under any circumstances.

Summerwood is run by a big heartless company that hires smiling, friendly staff to enforce their…read moreillegal and immoral landlord policies. So you will see some positive reviews from people who did not become the targets of those policies and many negative reviews from those who did. They bullied over $1,000 from our son. Do you want to risk it? Our experience was that our son told them he needed to leave town and transfer his lease: well before his lease started. Summerwood did not find someone to buy his lease for him, even though they say almost all of their rooms are sold. So, instead he found someone willing to take over the lease for him. Now, the lease says you are allowed to transfer if Summerwood "permits" it and Utah law clearly states that landlords have an obligation to minimize any damages they suffer if a tenant breaks a lease. But Summerwood ignores this and instead breaks the law and interprets their lease in a way to victimize tenants facing any life changes (they told us "everybody is doing it"). Citing a made-up "policy" and arguing it was hidden in their ambiguous, verrrrrry long lease, they first charged the new tenant $100 to get 'qualified' (even though they had already reviewed the qualifications of his guarantor). Then they increased the rent about $500 (even though this was supposed to be a transfer and sale of the very same lease.) Then they charged the outgoing tenant $716 for the "privilege" of selling their higher-rent-lease to a new tenant for them. If they increased the rent, is it really selling the same lease at all? It is not, it is really a penalty on my son. Utah law does not allow penalties in contracts. So not only did Summerwood not follow Utah law in at least two different ways, they bullied student tenants into paying over $1,000 more than the law allows. The lease does not say anything about a $1,000 charge for anything. This is all in a town where my kid worked a tough job to make $12 an hour. When we pointed out these violations of the law and lease in repeated conversations and letters, they dared us to sue them. They use cheap lawyers who proudly advertise "aggressive legal services" for landlords. 'Aggressive' is right: they often don't charge landlords anything to go to court, but get their money suing tenants for costs and fees (who can't afford to go to court in the first place.) Why do you think Summerwood uses lawyers like that? Is it because they are good, fair landlords? Ask them. All said, Summerwood broke the law and the terms of their lease, we did not, and Summerwood illegally strong-armed students working minimum-wage jobs for over $1,000.

I have never heard of a management and leasing office as terrible as this one. I genuinely have…read morenothing good to say. I understand that landlords aren't great in general, but I have never had issues on things that actually matter to my safety or wellbeing. The biggest issue I had was with the blinds. In my living rooming, half of blinds are completely missing off our sliding glass door. This means that at all times the entirety of the parking lot and the street in front of the complex can see directly into my apartment. I expect some level of privacy with any apartment. Worse than that, the blinds covering the window in my room and most of the other bedrooms are completely broken and missing. Anyone outside the apartment can see directly into the entirety of the tiny bedroom. I was unable to change in my own bedroom because management was entirely unwilling to replace my blinds. I submitted requests multiple times for these blinds, and so did my roommate. When the lazy leasing office ladies came around to "check the blinds" they did nothing. My roommate asked them when they were going to replace these blinds since they went to every apartment to check - and they explained that they weren't going to while we were living there. They said they could only buy blinds in bulk or else the order wouldn't get approved. Okay???? Then buy the damn blinds in bulk, you know exactly how many you need since you walked around to every apartment to check them. And don't expect to have a friendly college environment in this UNIVERSITY complex. Even though it is a block away from UVU, mostly families with young loud children are filling up the apartments. And most of them are smokers that will smoke right outside your door. My shower head (in both bathrooms) is torn out from the wall, pieces of drywall coming out with it. If you ask the leasing office anything, you will be met with lousy excuses because they just want to shut you up. You might think the amenities will be a nice touch to an apartment complex, but just know that they aren't actually available! The jacuzzi was unfilled the entire time I lived here, and when I asked maintenance about it they told me that it wasn't filled. I know? That's why I asked "why is the jacuzzi unfilled?" They told me to just use the pool. Great! Except its 30 degrees outside and the pool is moldy green and disgusting. No worries about that though, because as soon as one of the workers in the leasing office wants to bring her entire extended family with young children to the pool, you can bet it will get cleaned! Maintenance will actually break laws to come into your apartment with no notice, even after complaining multiple times. This is completely unacceptable and not to mention illegal. There is nothing redeeming enough about this property to live here. It might be 15 dollars cheaper than another complex, but I can promise that you are better off going there.

Before I get into the important issues with this complex, let me give you my honest opinion and…read morerecommendation... This is one of the better complexes in the area by far for the listed prices, but if you choose to live here, read your lease, argue what you can, and record every interaction and charge on your account that you possibly can in case you need it (which you probably will, as these issues have started becoming more common the longer I've lived here). If you practice good communication, keep records, and have the money you actually need to live here, then you'll do just fine and enjoy Village on the Parkway! Here's the catch: MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THEY SAY! Let me be clear... I've lived here across two units for over two years, and I loved my experience. I made many friends here, and I'm glad I chose VotP. That being said, I believe it is overpriced for the sheer fact that I pay more than originally advertised--even at a discount on monthly rent--by roughly $30 more than the higher average advertised on paper and the website. Despite most of us being out of the apartment over holiday periods for weeks at a time and double-checking that lights are off, we have yet to see our utility bills lower respectively. To our surprise, they have only gotten more expensive. READ YOUR LEASE AND ARGUE WITH MANAGEMENT. Taken directly from my lease: "Resident may be paying for part of the utility usage in common areas or in other residential units..." They will charge a $10 administrative fee on top of your utilities, which is not reflected on paper or online, and you are expected to pay for part of the utilities for the complex--which includes other residential units! If you decide to live here, max out the provided ranges of charges and expect to pay $30-$50 more per month. Everyone I have talked to about this who lives here has said the same thing: it is more expensive than expected. KEEP RECORD OF EVERYTHING. Take as many screenshots and pictures as possible. Record cleaning checks, conversations with management, and any other interactions. This is only the tip of the iceberg. I could also talk about the hot tub and pool being out of order for days to weeks at a time at random, fire pits having broken ignition or missing keys, or poor communication with the office. Any reviews you read that mention an employee's name you can ignore, as they are probably only there to receive a discount on key replacements or other deals made to make this complex look good. I would know--I have been offered such deals.

This property operates on a model of hidden fees and zero accountability. I paid a mandatory pest control fee every month, yet dealt with constant ant issues that management ignored. It's essentially a phantom charge for a service they don't provide. Worse, their towing enforcement is aggressive and predatory. As a resident paying full rent, my car was towed because my valid parking pass slipped out of immediate view. Management refused to verify my residency or intervene, forcing me to pay hundreds to get my own car back from my own apartment complex. The move-out process was the final insult. They kept nearly my entire security deposit, charging me for standard wear-and-tear like paint touch-ups at rates that exceeded what was outlined in my signed lease. They even billed me for equipment (a Dwello Hub) that was never installed in my apartment. The units are constantly dusty because management neglects to change the HVAC filters. It's a poorly managed property that prioritizes extracting fees over resident experience. AVOID at all costs.

The absolute worst place I have ever lived in my entire life. Legit would not wish this place on my…read moreworst enemy. I read all the bad reviews before, but my friends wanted me to move in with them so I was like it can't be that bad. Trust me; it is that bad. They are completely crooks to the point it's bordering on fraud. They will constantly charge you for things. For white glove cleaning checks, they failed me and 4 other people I know for not vacuuming, even though we all know we did and did it well. It's just a way for them to make even more money off us when we're moving out and keep our deposits. Also in the lease, it's written that if you don't give them a stamped envelope they can keep your deposit. They also don't care about you at all and only care about money. Me and my roommate were constantly sick for about 4 months after moving in. My roommate went to the doctor and they had strong suspicions that it was mold. We constantly asked the Branbury to check for mold and they would not. We found mold in the vents and showed it to them and they still said there wasn't any evidence of mold. A moisture reading was done and it was found to be abnormal. Branbury made a tiny tiny cut in the wall in the kitchen (not even where we thought the mold was) and they said they didn't find anything and couldn't do anything. My roommate just ended up moving out because she was so sick and continued paying rent for an extra 5 months while not living there because she couldn't get out of her contract or sell it. The outside looks really nice and the amenities are good, but don't let it fool you; it's a bait and switch. The actual apartments are not clean at all and extremely crappy. Also parking is an absolute nightmare. The stalls are so incredibly tiny; I can't count the number of scratches and dings I have on my car now. Also my now husband (did meet him will living at the Branbury so that's a redeeming quality, but I can't guarantee that will be your experience haha) had his truck broken into while parked at the Branbury parking lot. So basically this is a novel and I could go on and on with horror stories, but this will hopefully suffice and dissuade you from living here. If it didn't, just know you have been warned.
