The Foundry

Even tho some of my classmates my be paying less. I like the fact that I am 10 minutes away from my classes by walking. Also parking lot under the building is nice to have, especially for winter. Gym and other amenities are also satisfactory

The Foundry South is a great location with a 10 minute walk to campus. It has Trader Joes right down the street and several restaurants/bars right on Eddy Street. The buildings are very new and well taken care of.

The management is not the greatest and the lease process was very unclear and confusing. You typically have to reach out to management several times before your concerns are addressed. The mail/package room situation is an absolute nightmare that could easily be fixed.

It is definitely the nice apartment building at Notre Dame of campus. However, sometimes maintenance can be slow to fix things and if you live in the amenities building and face the back part with the fire pits and pool, sometime people stay out there until 2 am blasting music on school nights and property management does nothing to regulate it, even through there are noise ordinances and “closing times.”

The management is not great (they never answer the phone or email). You must go in person if you want to speak to them and get a response. It is really expensive for no reason. It is better than Overlook but Management is chaotic, the parking situation is tricky and too expensive for parking down the street in a parking garage, and a lot of things are broken in the apartment. Management messed up on removing the furniture from my apartment and are now charging me additional charges each month for their disorganization and mistake. Worth it for the amount of ND students that live there and how close it is to campus.

Management needs work but they can get away with sub-par service because of the location

Great location

It is easily the best location, and all my closest friends live here which has made it worth it. However, the price is absurd. After fees I pay probably 2100/month to live in South Bend Indiana....come on. Also, the front desk staff is awful, and packages constantly go missing. The maintenance guy is great though and responds right away.

Admin is bad, and slow in responding. Sometimes unresponsive or not helpful at all. Depends on the day.

Test survey

High marks for proximity to Mendoza and being in the middle of the action. We’re a first floor unit over looking the courtyard area so I can sometimes be loud, but happy on the whole.
