The Foundry

Location of the foundry is the best, but the mgmt company is non responsibe, they close the dog park for half of the year, and the prices are absurd.

Do not go to the foundry - maintenance response time is 1+ week on average, rent is overpriced and their selling point is their location, they pitch valet trash as a benefit but you pay $360/yr for it, parking is $1k+/year, living in foundry north doesn't give you access to anything in foundry south (aka no gym), and undergraduates are very loud and trash the apartment, the walls also have a consistent smell of smoke/urine, appliances are also very inefficient and the walls are thin so your utility bills will be astronomical ($300+/month) in the winter

Best location and amenities but he property management can be really frustrating to deal with. They have the best product in town and they know it. Rent is really expensive but Eddy St is a great place to live.

Apartment service crew is responsive, but the front office is not.

If you can afford it, The Foundry is the place to be. Dealing with management and getting a contract to sign a lease can feel like pulling teeth, but once you're in, things get easier. Other issue is package room, your package won't always come to your building, I personally have days where I go on package hunts.

Worth the Price

The apartment is a good idea, but cheaply and poorly executed. For example the stainless steel appliances look nice and have many features, but the microwave is inconsistent and the oven takes about an hour to get to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The in-unit laundry works well, but it takes two loads for one full laundry basket. The building services team vacuums once per month and does not wash the floors. The gym has great equipment, but runs out of cleaning solution to use after using the equipment. I think you get the gist. Then building management is, well, ineffective, but "ineffective" might be a compliment.

I live at the Foundry because it is the closest apartment complex to Notre Dame. This is the only reason to choose this overpriced place.

The Foundry is the nicest most luxurious option for student housing. It has many amenities like a pool, gym, sauna and it’s located on the heart of Eddy Street. If it’s in your budget, it’s the best option. Downsides include management, hidden fees, and the $100 monthly parking fee.

I rated this a 2/10 because they are terrible at communication, they do not give you a lease until 2 week before your move in date and they aren't helpful when it comes to maintenance requests. I had to email and call them so many times to just get an opportunity to apply for an apartment. I was put on a waitlist after applying for an apartment and didn't know for months if I was going to get a place- this is the norm, they do not tell you for weeks/months. They do not answer their phones, they do not call back, they do not email back. After moving in my shelves fell off the wall due to poor assembly to the wall, I called the apartment to come fix it and they just put the nails in the same holes so it's still not secure and they told me just to not put a lot on it. They overcharge you but at the end of the day it has the best location so people will continue to live here.

Property is good, door scanning never works.
