Solid Apartment

The location in comparison to campus is really convenient and it’s nice having fellow students in the surrounding complexes. I have an attached garage which help provide some peace of mind regarding parking and protecting my car. The building is a bit older and there have been some pest issues that took a lot of hassle to get resolved. The rent is fairly high and includes a number on amenities that I personally do not use such as the large gym in the center. The walls are also relatively thin so it can be used way to hear things going on outside as well as from your neighbors, but is not unbearable. Overall, the apartment is a solid place to live with some nice qualities, but there are aspects that may turn some people off.

Outdated facilities and poor maintenance

The location of the Village is great. The amenities in the unit were mostly bad. At this price range having no in unit washer dryer is ridiculous. The Village is coasting by on name recognition alone for this set of units. The saving value of the Village is it is convenient to campus, shopping, and US 75.

The units are the Village Corners are all very old and outdated. The maintenance and quality of the fixtures is bad. The layout of the kitchens is awful and tiny so say goodbye to cooking with anyone but yourself. Outdoor odors of smoke from other apartments are abundant. Your A/C unit will be filthy and full of vines growing in it running up your power bill because the maintenance staff doesn't bother to clean it. The maintenance staff is too quick to do things and is sloppy. They tried to paint in my unit standing on a 5 gallon jug of paint and splattered paint everywhere. The doors and windows leak air and water. I could keep going but it would be redundant. Just know you are paying for a clean but outdated and frankly somewhat dumpy apartment.

So much of the cost of the unit goes toward the useless private security, expansive gym, subsidizing the dead restaurants, and large pool. If you plan on not being in your unit much then it might be great. Otherwise forget it.

That being said, the gym and other common facilities are somewhat nice. Even though you pay exorbitant rent the Village finds a way to still nickel and dime you. Buzz and Bustle, the coffee shop they will show you on the tour, does not even have free wifi. The laundry machines don't work half the time and charge you 2.50 for a wash and 1.75 for a dry. That is insane. If a machine in your room goes out of service, say goodbye to it for at least a month. That happened more than once.

Love it!

The Village has a very good community feel and a lot of amenities. Westside particularly is gated with a lot of safety features which make living in a bigger city more comfortable. Very pet friendly as well and there’s a lot of other law students here

Love it!

No complaints! The maintenance is quick and efficient, the patrol service is helpful, the amenities are fantastic, and the apartment itself is great! Lots of parking options, and love that my community is gated. Also, for my building (7), there is a dog park right next to the building which is a huge help.

Great place to live

I really love my apartment. It's gated, has a pool and a dog park. I haven't ever felt unsafe here (as a single woman living alone, that is very important). I haven't had any problems with management. They're always helpful and responsive.

The Village Westside is a Great Place for Young Professionals

I have enjoyed my experience at The Village Westside. The apartments are clean and spacious with great natural light. The appliances are not the newest, but they run well and efficiently.

The Village is very centrally located and has easy access to Northwest HWY, 75, and Greenville.

I personally like that The Village Westside is gated (other Village properties are not).

The Village Westside also offers great (and free) amenities such as two pools, fitness centers, and Village events.

I would definitely recommend living in the Village Westside if you are looking for carefree, comfortable, accessible living!
