I've lived at Helix 24 for 2 years. Overall have had very minimal issues. Main consistent issue is…read morethat the walls and ceilings are on the thinner side and my upstairs neighbors love to walk around in shoes made of lead 24hrs a day. Maintenance is INCREDIBLE. They truly are what holds this place together. If any issues arose, they were there the next day and happy to help. They've always been really respectful (which was initially a worry as a young female), always super accommodating, and they're fun to chat with (shoutout to Billy and Eddie!!). Management has been okay (they were really laissez faire about the complaints about the neighbors which was really irritating). The main reason i am moving is because they have raised their rent and started to implement some price gouging tactics that are ridiculous. This includes required monthly charges of $10 trash valet service, $10 credit reporting, $5 utility service fee, $25 sewer charge, and $15 waiver of liability insurance ($65/month on top of rent and utilities). And they have just started implementing a policy that any guests have to register their vehicle and pay to park (in a lot that I've personally never seen fill up) - $5/hour or $15/day- or they will be towed at the vehicle owners expense. They do offer free wifi (wonder how long it will take for that to become a required charge) but it does go out randomly and frequently enough. I can understand how thats a fair trade off for it being free... still worth noting though. I have yet to move out so i cant wait to see the cleaning fees that are waiting for me in July. But I can say that one of my roommates moved out after the first year and she was charged over $100 (i cant remember the exact amount) as a cleaning fee. When i tell you that girl was minimalistic, clean, and careful, i mean it. She left that room spotless and the cleaning ladies who came in after were not in there for long. It's not a bad place by any means. No bug issues other than the occasional spider, gnat, or ant. Appliances work great and when our fridge didn't, maintenance was right on it. Theres a bus stop for main campus and Hy-vee right out front. If money is not an issue and you don't mind the buildup of $5-10 charges, then I recommend it. If you move here and you are someone who throws parties or regularly has several people over just please, for the love of God, request a first floor apartment....please.

I usually never write reviews anywhere, but I absolutely love this place. My boyfriend and I were…read morelooking for a place to live in lawrence that was very last minute for August. We didn't have an appointment for a tour or anything like that but we had looked at the website prior so we know what we liked that was open. We walked in and we were greeted perfectly by TieRre who was incredibly sweet and ran us through everything we needed to know about the apartment we saw online!! It wasn't quite done with its renovations but we were able to get a good look at the apartment, which is absolutely beautiful! We went home and immediately knew this was the place we wanted to live. The process of applying online can be a little difficult for someone who hasn't done it before but TieRie was always emailing us back with any questions we had, and helped us through the whole process! If he missed a phone call from us, he was super quick to get back to us with an email to let us know about anything we asked!! He talked about the community and the perks you get, and how he himself lives in this complex and loves it!! We are beyond excited to move in to our apartment in August, and can't wait to live in the community! Thanks again for everything you do TierRie you're amazing!!

Worst company ever. Alvadora is the same people that run Aberdeen Apartments and a few other…read moreapartment in town. I was helping my cousin move out and their poorly installed large bathroom mirror fell on me. Not only did they refuse to pay my medical bills but they charged my cousin $200 for the mirror that was stated to be only $60 in the lease contract to replace. When asked why there was such a discrepancy, their staff responded with the fact that they could. Seriously? Stay far away from these unprofessional staff and the apartments they manage.

From the on-line pictures, this place looks like a million bucks, large apartments, carefully…read moretended grounds and a bubbling brook that cascades throughout the grounds. Well, the reality is, there is a brook, and the apartments are adequately sized, but that value has depreciated quite a bit with time. But let me be fair- its been 25 years since I lived in an apartment complex so maybe I'm expecting too much. Here are the pros of this place. I like the full sized washer and dryer in each unit. And I like having a dishwasher and microwave included. I like that there is either a balcony or patio with each unit and that the quantity of windows lets in a ton of natural light (and my unit faces north). I like that they are set up as condos with each unit having it's own outside entrance and that they answer maintenance issues within a week which is pretty good given the size of this complex. Some units even have a fireplace (I think these are the upper units) There is also a decent pool as well as a work out room available for the residents. On the downside, the water pressure is quite low (can barely wash my hands in the bathroom), when it rains, there is water everywhere washing out what once was beautiful landscaping, and there is really limited storage in each unit although the extra closet out on the patio helps a little. The carport that I pay extra for is quite a walk away ( a sidewalk would help) and the hill behind it washes out with each downpour making a muddy mess to walk through. It's not quiet but the noise doesn't come from my neighbors, it comes from a bad design that puts the air conditioning units outside the bedroom window so not only do I hear it when my unit kicks in, but also when my neighbor's unit kicks in. All in all, Pinnacle Woods is okay. To some it might even be considered really nice. For me? It just reminds me of why I stopped living in an apartment all those years ago.

Rent increased by $130 for my 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom in my first year. Appliances are terrible. Sinks…read moreare made of the cheapest white polymer that stains super easily instead of ceramic. Kitchen counters are also made of laminate/particleboard that stains extremely easily. During my first month here, I had to fix the PVC pipes under my own kitchen sink. I also personally had to unclog the shower drains from the previous renter. Also, PARKING SUCKS. You will likely be unable to find parking spaces at night, so their solution is to provide rentable parking spaces to their tenants. These additional parking spaces are $30/month for a "garage," which is really just awnings. There has been a tire-eating pothole in the front of the complex for lord knows how long, and they are finally getting around to fixing it after months of living here. One would expect a booming college town like Lawrence to have better apartment complexes.
