Parker House

Great. Most convenient spot to campus. In downtown. But traffic noise exists.

This apartment complex is a great option for those looking to stay close to the school! It’s a 5 minute walk (so you don’t have to pay for parking), has a coffee shop right below you, and always has a few law students living in the building too! Definitely a standard undergraduate-type unfurnished apartment but a little more elevated. There is plenty of storage throughout the apartment and additional mini storage units on each floor that you can rent if you need to as well! Overall, the location in relation to the school is what sold me, especially when some days it is the only time outside I get between classes and working!

Biggest advantage is very close location to the law school. Not a fan of the relatively high rent and need to pay electricity and internet separately. But maintenance is superb. The maintenance worker gets requests done the day of and does so free of charge. Not a bad place to go if you want to rent a place.

Traffic noise 24/7. Loud cars, motorcycles, and we live right next to the fire department so they constantly have sirens going. We never sleep.

My electric bill is high because of poor insulation, the AC runs 24/7.

The common areas are typically covered in pet urine, poop, throw up, food, broken bottles.

Surrounded by homeless people who are sometimes dangerous or harassing.

The apartment itself is falling apart and they refuse to fix anything such as the blinds, stove, dishwasher, cabinets are falling off the wall, and the water doesn’t run.

Perfect location for school. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as some other complexes but has everything you would need.

5 minute walk to the law school, 10 minute walk to the clinic building (star-telegram).

Walking distance to school, great apartment, low on amenities and lots of add on costs like parking etc

If you want to be able to walk to the law school it doesn’t get better than Parker House. Management is great, apartment is clean and spacious. Management is very responsive.

Living in downtown is fun but can be more expensive. The only option for parking is to pay for a spot in the garage that connect to the building.

Works for me

I have loved living at Parker house. I am a five minute walk from the school which means I don’t have to deal with parking or traffic. The staff is extremely helpful and so kind. My apartment is updated, spacious and honesty more than I would expect for a one bedroom one bath. It is absolutely worth the expensive for the convenience and quality!
