    Logan Square Apartments

    view →

    3.8(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Logan Square Apartments ranks overall near Auburn despite some real friction points that residents consistently flag. While maintenance can be slow and communication feels opaque, the property does deliver when it matters most some residents praise quick AC repairs when they actually come through. The bigger concerns students raise are the annual rent hikes, unclear maintenance timelines, and occasional pest control gaps that leave you wondering if your request is actually in the queue. As one long-term resident put it, "they raise your rent 100$+ every year," which compounds the frustration when service doesn't match the price tag.

    Yugo Auburn North

    view →

    3.4(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Yugo Auburn North ranks overall near Auburn, though reviews suggest the experience is mixed and the property faces some real operational challenges. Residents report chronic wifi outages that can knock you offline for 8-10 hours monthly a serious problem when you're trying to study or attend class online. The management team, particularly staff like Grant, does make a genuine effort to show the property well and engage with prospective residents. One visitor noted that Grant "gave me and my family a great tour" and the space itself "looked really good," but those infrastructure issues are hard to overlook when connectivity is this unreliable.

    $629/person/mo
