Maplewood Apartments

Great Overall, Good Location, Affordable Prices

Apartment is new and I am the original occupant. Furnished and nice enough, but management is VERY slow to fix things. For example, the front door to our building was broken and

I rarely have any issues with Maplewood. I was the first tenant in my apartment, so it's been clean and functional. The apartments are a little poorly designed (e.g. a door that hits another door), but overall they're great.

Apartments are new and are probably some of the nicest in Ithaca. Rent is a little steep but we have great amenities and it is nice that utilities are included in the rent. Management is extremely difficult; I usually avoid them at all costs.

Maplewood - very good experience

Maplewood is great. It's a short 10 minute walk to Sage or Collegetown. The complex is generally quiet yet full of life. The community is very pet friendly. Rent is cheap compared to anywhere else, and the accommodations are quite nice.

Parking can be tough, there is ongoing maintenance because it's a new complex (but almost no noise), and if you're afraid of dogs you might feel more comfortable at CTT, as it's impossible not to run into them here.

Experience last fall was incredibly painful with the building delays and construction. The management team is not great. Building are new, but the construction is poor and walls are thin. If your apartment faces a parking lot and is on a lower floor and is near one of the new garbage compacters, you will hear them multiple times a day, they compacters are loud. Maintenance is not great at responding quickly. The gym is decent.

Maplewood is a short 10 minute walk to campus or Collegetown. The complex is new, cheap, and for grad students only. It's also very pet friendly, and there's a decent gym.

Public transportation isn't great, and parking can be tough. If you don't like dogs, you should consider CTT, as they're impossible to avoid here. But that's just the way I like it.

Good location and amenities

I really like the apartment itself - everything is brand new, there is a lot of light as the apartment is on the side of the building, and there is a lot of space for 2 people relative to other Maplewood apartments that I have seen. However, the management company is a disaster. Anything related to maintenance requests, spur of the moment updates (our bedding frames needed to be replaced over the break when no one was here, among other inconveniences), needing to move in 2 months late, was not ideal. I am hoping this was due to this being the first year that the apartments are available and that these were growing pains, but that is not an assumption that I am confident in.
