The Bigelow Apartments

The leasing agent, Rylee, is the best! Entry into the apartments was an easy process. I had lots of issues on my side, like whether I was going to have a second person on the lease, but she managed that well. I got a single room without an oven, and I really like it. It has plenty of room. There is a lightswitch that appears to do nothing, but seems to turn the current on for some power outlets. The only downsides are expensive utilities and $50/month for trash pickup from the door. My trash has been left out for nearly a week several times. This latest time, only one trash bag was picked up and my box of garbage was left. I see lots of people going to the dumpster area themselves to throw their trash away, and it sucks how the money isn't used right. Utilities are also 300+/month for a single person apartment, which is on the more expensive side for Ogden. Overall, I really love the Bigelow. The staffing are easy to reach, friendly, and assistative. The prime location in downtown around transit systems is also a huge plus.

The AC doesn’t regularly work and has broken on average 5~ times a month. The water gets turned off randomly at least once a month. One of the elevators breaks all the time so only one is reliably functional. The laminated wood flooring is chipped and cracked in most areas. They don’t reliably plow the parking garage entrance/exit when it snows and there have been several accidents because of it. And they’re charging you $1700 after utilities/trash/electrical/water for a one bedroom apartment and this lovely experience.
