The Pavilion at North Grounds

Every year, the rent increases almost $200 a month despite a year of issues with wifi and frequent elevator malfunctions.

The actual building and facilities are very nice, it is spacious and modern, the only problem is management is sometimes slow to address problems.

Elevators were down for weeks, a huge inconvenience for many. Management is pretty horrible and lease terms are unclear.

I have really appreciated the cleanliness, updated appliances, spaciousness, gym, and personal bathroom that my apartment at Pav offers. The apartment came furnished, which was a plus for me. Above all, though, I have loved how close Pav is to the law school—it takes ten minutes or less for me to get from my bedroom to a classroom.

But if it weren't for my great roommates and the inconvenience of moving, I'm not sure I would have stayed all three years. Pav recently underwent a renovation, but many of the troublesome things about the building remain (e.g., broken doors, broken elevators, poor parking assignment system, wifi outages, etc.).

If you are looking for convenience and cleanliness at a cost (i.e., overpriced), Pav is a good choice. But I don't doubt that I could've been happy and in similarly close proximity to the law school in more affordable housing (that possibly had better management and less predatory re-leasing practices).

The best part about it is definitely the location and living close to a lot of other law students. Since I don't have a car here, this is one of few realistic options for housing since the law school and grocery store are both so close. The apartments themselves are renovated and look really nice. I know people who have had a lot of maintenance issues but personally it hasn't been too bad. That being said, it is very expensive and overpriced for what you are getting. If I had a car I would choose a different option.

Living at the Pavilion, you absolutely are paying for the location. The units themselves are nice, but probably not as nice as the price of rent. The amenities are good, but again, not good enough for how much we pay to live here. However, the location is simply unbeatable, and it is nice to live in a building with so many other 1L's. The maintenance staff is quick and responsive, although the wifi is sometimes slow (which I believe they are working on fixing right now), and the elevator sometimes breaks. All in all, as I said, the location is where a bulk of the cost of rent goes to, so I would keep that factor in mind.

My favorite thing about the Pavilion is that it’s so close to grounds and so many other law students live here. The negative aspect is the price: it’s quite expensive, especially if you add parking, and it’s not really as “nice” or fancy as I would expect for how much it costs.

The location is the biggest plus for me. The building is generally pretty nice, but sometimes maintenance can be slow to fix issues. I also think that the rent is overpriced.

I've had lots of issues with the Pav, and I look forward to moving out. The two best things about living here are 1) proximity to law school and 2) the gym downstairs. The worst things are that it is so expensive, you have to pay additionally for parking, and the amount of maintenance requests you have to submit are ungodly. (I've had issues with air conditioner, nails sticking out of the carpet, and fans falling from the ceiling).

This is mostly good. It's a nice place with no maintenance or structural issues. The elevators break often and the package room is annoying though.
