Spruce Knob Apartments

Located in a safe, residential community perfect for walks and less than 1 mile to Mary Beth Doyle park. Maintenance is very responsive and completes work orders within a day. I also appreciate that the building is only two stories. We have a first floor apartment with a patio - ideal for letting a pet out. I ride the public transit bus to school (free for students) - the bus stop is a 1 minute walk from my apartment.

This apartment has been very good considering it was the cheapest option I could find. The management team has always been very helpful if I've had questions, and the units are clean and plenty big. The unit I live in is right next to the interstate, so it is often somewhat noisy (which isn't an issue for me but might be problematic for someone who is a lighter sleeper). Pets are allowed and there are several waste receptacles around the property, but these sometimes don't get emptied for days at a time and hence tend to fill up. There is a bus stop for the route 5 bus, which is nice for getting to campus or downtown (about 3 miles away). However, the buses are somewhat inconsistent, and have been anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes late, which is particularly frustrating in the winter. We've never had any issues with neighbors, and I think this is overall a great place to live considering the relatively low rent.
