The Tower at Campus View

Recently renovated! Good location but move in is late.

Glad renovations are taking place, looking forward to the finished result.

Good experience thus far. Construction has been a bit frustrating, but excited about the improvments

They were bought by a different management company, so this summer they were completing property-wide renovations. The communication for unit renovations was really poor (for everyone, not just me) and the office staff did not handle the situation well. We are a month into the semester and they are still renovating units and the common area. I definitely understand that things happen and the timelines get pushed out, but the way they handled the situation was not great.

Other than that, I have really enjoyed living at The Tower for the past 1.5 months. The proximity to campus is great, there are good amenities, and the renovations look really nice.

-Management is super nice and responsive
-Pretty good gym and shared community room that you can rent out free of charge
-20 minute walk / 5 minute drive to MSU business building
-Tons of dogs with little dog park area

-Hallways and elevator not kept up very well

Living at the Tower was definitely a good decision for me. I needed a place that was close enough to campus that I could bike into classes/clinic shifts when the weather was permitting, that allowed pets, and that fit a student budget. I think this complex met all of the above criteria. It's definitely an older building, with the standard carpet and popcorn ceiling, a fairly outdated kitchen. Still, it was roomy, had a balcony, and overall the management was responsive enough that I didn't have to stress about any housing-related issues more than a couple of times. Biggest complaint is that the internet (which is included in your rent) would drop out on occasion. There was overall 2-3 times where I needed to leave the apartment to attend a Zoom class due to the internet dropping out for the building. It's definitely a popular apartment complex for undergrads as well so be prepared for lots of noise on the weekends and late at night. My neighbors were nice enough that when I knocked to ask them to turn down the music they would oblige without issue.

Good location, decent prices and friendly management. Quality of the building is nothing to write home about but it's good for a budget apartment.

Building and apartment have everything I need for a single person living alone. They have a gym, coffee machine, community space, Amazon Hub for delivering packages safely, and are pet friendly. I don't have a pet but many people in this building too and there's also a dog park right outside as well.

Only a 20 minute walk to the Minskoff Pavilion and close to many grocery stores, restaurants, bus routes, etc. for easy transportation.

The management team is great, the amenities are good (great internet thats included with rent, decent small gym, study lounge, coffee machine, outdoor pool). I could easily bike to class and Grand River is just a short walk away. The building and apartment units themselves are quite old so it's not the most beautiful place to live but the price sort of makes up for it.

It's nice because the walls are pretty thick so it's not noisy. Parking is meh - it's $35 per month for covered parking. The complex next to us, Red Cedar Flats, is undergoing heavy construction so that has been super annoying - taking up parking spaces and blocking roads/paths etc. They added a dog park which is nice. There's an Amazon hub here so getting packages is really convenient. There's also a really nice espresso machine in the lobby that's free. The gym is ok, very bare bones but the core weight machines and treadmills/ellipticals/bike. Management is really responsive, not so much maintenance. It's not the prettiest building structurally but it's fine for what it's worth. There's a CATA stop across Grand River but no crosswalk or anything so you have to cross on the main road which can be dangerous in peak hours.
