Elliston 23

Maintenance is fine, the garage door has been broken for months and no impetus to change it despite numerous complaints and requests from many residents.

Walls are thick so noise is not really an issue and it's very walkable to campus which is a huge plus. I like that it's away from Midtown and a little quieter near Centennial Park. It can feel like a bit of a food desert though with no grocery stores nearby and somewhat limited options for restaurants immediately nearby.

They are renovating the apartment, including individual apts and they look nice but they will definitely charge a premium for them. Rent is increasing from 1750 to 1880, a big jump.

Internet is "included" but really you pay for it in the lease, just not to Xfinitiy directly.

Nice apartment and super close to campus. A bit of hotel vibes, but it's nice and has all the amenities and such.
Base rent seems below market because nothing is included and there are tons of fees and charges added on later. I find this frustrating, but just have to know what you're getting into.

Management can sometimes be unhelpful but the place is fine. Good amenities. Natural light can be an issue if your apartment faces the pool area. Lots of undergrads live here.

I believe the apartment has changed management, I believe, 3 times now, making communicating and paying rent difficult. The apartment is currently under construction, which makes the noise a little disturbing, but I am sure that things will be better once the construction is done. Also, the rent and fees are ridiculous here. I pay almost $100 just for trash services, which are not always reliable. I am tired of paying this much for an apartment that I believe is not worth it. I live in an apartment the size of my parent's bedroom and spend almost as much as their mortgage on rent.

Multiple changes in management over the last several months has made it hard to assess their quality. The first two companies were disorganized and combative, but the third company so far seems to improving the community.

They are trying to move into the next higher tier of luxury, so it is likely rents will also increase.

I like how this apartment is close to campus but on the quieter side of it. Right near Centennial Park and with its own parking garage (secured by garage opener)

My experience overall is good. I like that I can walk to campus and the bookstore. The apartment itself is okay, but they have a lot of fees associated with renting. They also have concierge trash which I don't like. Good turnaround time for maintenance to fix things, and the management office is nice. Communication with residents could be better. I can get on the bus and get to Whole Food or Trader Joe's.

Location is great. Price seems pretty low, but fees are very high (parking, internet, trash, etc.), so the actual price is about average. Typical apartment problems persist (noisy undergrads, slow maintenance, etc.) but aren't more than expected.

Great location, lots of undergrads

This building has been great to live in during nursing school! Just what I was looking for. Very convenient walk to Vanderbilt and hospitals. Easy drive to downtown. Multilevel parking lot attached to building, with a dog park on top. Pool is great; have not used the gym because the undergrads never wear masks in there. Tons of natural light and storage in the unit, with a great kitchen and balcony. 3 ft of concrete surrounding all units, so it's relatively quiet (but ambulances due drive by quite frequently).

Biggest complaint is that this building is full of irresponsible, disrespectful undergraduate students who treat it like a frat house, since they are not living on campus due to covid. They leave trash everywhere and do not use masks, and recklessly whip around the corners in the parking lot.

Package system is hypothetically easy and secure, but in practice isn't great.

Elliston 23 probably has the biggest apartments for the least amount of money. Lots of closet space, full size washer and dryer. The amenities are not well maintained. There are a lot of air bnbs in the building and they make a lot of noise. Initially the noise was bad but it has been a lot better since summer ended. Packages are a bit disorganized.

All of that said even though my rent is high I wouldn’t have been able to live alone in other buildings. Maintenance responds to requests quickly, and the pool is nice but could use new chairs. The gym is okay but could be cleaned more often and the machines could be repaired more often.
