Island Drive Apartments Review
Cheap, close to the hospital but not the best management service. Classic collegetown

Great proximity, okay amenities
It’s an old but cozy apartment in white coat area that has everything I need - nice spacious living room, good kitchen and dining area, bedrooms have decently spacious closets. There is a washer and dryer in the basement which works well though a phone app payment. This is as cheap as you can get a place this close to the hospital. Cons: No dishwasher, and sometimes it takes a couple calls to get maintenance requests done. But it’s a nice comfy living space with very few extra costs - gas and water are covered within rent, so we only pay for internet and electricity on the side.

Great location, but don't expect too much
Pros:
- If you want to be able to roll out of bed and get to the medical school or hospital in 15 minutes, this is the place for you. You can't get much closer than Island Drive.
- Many other medical students live here
- Apartment itself isn't bad, but isn't that great either
- In-building laundry (not free, but convenient)
- Parking included
- Price for a 1-BR is the best you can get in the area
Cons:
- If you need maintenance, they will take a long time to come and you'll have to call them multiple times. It is poorly coordinated.
- Walls are not insulated well so you can hear every footstep upstairs
- I've just come to terms with the fact that I'll live with centipedes and spiders. I would look elsewhere if that's a problem for you.
- No dishwasher
- No dog policy, cats okay with a fee

Best Location, Comfortable Accommodations
Proximity to the hospital is hard to beat. The neighborhood is nice and there are plenty of places to run and spend time at Island Park. Spacious living room, good bathroom, nice sunlight in kitchen and living room. Maintenance requests are not the quickest, but not the slowest either; usually takes about 1-5 days. Overall, nothing sticks out as particularly wonderful or terrible.

Island Drive Apartments
Best parts of Island Drive are that it is affordable, extremely close to the medical campus, and sits right along the Huron River with its accompanying trails and parks. Surrounding neighborhood consists of other apartment complexes which house predominantly other health professions students, graduate students, and some young families. Management is hit or miss with regards to responsiveness to maintenance requests or other assistance such as parking passes for visitors. As a customer for going on 4 years, I wish I felt more valued by the management. Amenities include free parking, free access to small gym and pool at the complex, heat, trash, and water included in rent, laundry facilities on site.

Island Drive
It’s an old complex, with sufficient basic requirements. Helpful staff and maintenance. It’s well located between central and north, except that bus routes to north campus require a 5 min walk to the bus stop.

Close to the hospital
This apartment complex is fine. I've lived there the entire four years of medical school. My main complaints with this apartment complex is their parking rules (only one parking spot/bedroom), the frequent changes with management, and their inconsistency with enforcing rules. The positive aspects of this apartment complex is that they are within walking distances to the hospital and the maintenance usually responds within 24 hours if you call.

Convenient, has all necessities
Island drive is as close as it gets to the hospital, a super convenient walk. It’s a little shabby looking on the outside but can be really homey inside! The rent includes gas, water, heat, and it’s the most affordable place for the location. Downsides are the lack of dishwasher and older equipment and amenities.

North Campus Reviews
Me and a friend and her dog visit neighborhood parks.
That dog met the caged bald eagle at Leslie Science Center.. and twang!
To the end of his leash! The eagle looked at him like he was the most delicious thing he's seen all Winter. We just trudged thru the snow to view the cages, (both eagle and dog are ok)
