In the following review, I'll try be as fair as possible while ensuring the future residents have a better idea of what they would sign up for. I'll start with pros of this place and then I'll get to the cons. How you weigh the pros vs the cons is entirely up to you and your preferences; so, I'll just go ahead and list them. Pros: - This apartment is extremely close to the UO campus, and you can easily walk to the campus which makes it such an attractive prospect. - The units basically have everything you could ask for. They have AC, dishwasher, laundry, and they're furnished. So, this is a great plus. - The apartment also has some nice amenities, a pool, a gym, a break room, and some other amenities that you could look up on their website. - The units look relatively nice and clean. I didn't have any issues with my unit. - Maintenance requests would be resolved quickly based on my few experiences. Another plus! Cons: - Unfortunately, the studios are quite small in this apartment. So small that it makes it challenging after a while to live there while ensuring you have space for everything. I did not live in the other unit types but the studios are pretty small (~333 sq. ft.). - Now, the biggest downside of this place is the super expensive rent that you need to pay. Considering the parking, the electricity, and utility fees, expect to pay around $1850 a month, if not more for a pretty small studio. This is really expensive, considering we're talking about Eugene, OR, and not NYC or the Bay Area. If you have zero financial concerns and you simply want to live close to the campus while having furniture and nice amenities, this place would be a good fit for you. But, just to be honest and transparent, if you don't have unlimited money, this place is just not the best option you could find here. - Lastly, the management took away ~half of my deposit for standard cleaning fees even though I cleaned the apartment as well as I possibly could (and I'm not the only person that experienced this btw). While it was mentioned that some cleaning fee might be deducted from the deposit, taking away half of the deposit regardless of all of my effort to clean the apartment is simply unacceptable. Anyway, I highlighted all the cons and pros of this place while trying to be as fair as possible. In my humble opinion, this place is not worth the rent.
