2118 Acklen Ave

This place is fine if your priority is looking for a quick walk/bike ride to campus. I lived here for 2 years since it is less than 10 min walking to EBL, which is great for clerkships. Many students also live in hillsboro so you are close to the action.

Good:
-New bathroom and kitchen (appliances, granite countertops in many apartments BUT NOT ALL)
-Decent living space for a single person, reasonably spacious
-Great Location, restaurants and students nearby
-Management is usually responsive to MINOR issues
-Security Deposit is very cheap

Bad:
-Kitchen is VERY small, hard for 2 people to fit at once in there.
-Some parts of the apartment (floors, closet) are old and scuffed up badly compared to the new renovations.
-Dark with little sunlight (one living room windowed door, one bedroom window)
-No utilities included in rent
-Mice infestation, management did not hire an exterminator and I had to deal with it myself
-Management is ruthless with rent increases (non-negotiable $100+ rent increase)

Great location (5-10 min walk from hospital), new appliances. No amenities other than parking. Fair and responsive landlord. Outdoor parking. May be able to hear neighbors.

Great location and affordable rent. But it has pretty thin ceiling and I can sometimes hear someone is walking upstairs.

If you are looking to live on your own, this is a fantastic option.
Location: I live on the bottom floor, and biking to school takes me about 3-4 minutes depending if I can catch the light on Blakemore (walking about 10 min). Very literally right behind McDougal's and a Bagel shop so prepare your wallet for all the good food you live steps away from. 21st street is right there, and many students live here on Acklen.
Value: I have my place (no furniture) for $1200, with enough space to host people for a night. I know they have some units that are fully furnished for $1500.
Social: As before, a lot of students live nearby. This is a pretty quiet place, so I haven't really thrown many events at my place. But, if you are looking for a good night out everyone else is a quick walk away.
Amenities: FANTASTIC kitchen with granite, nice bathroom, large room and seemingly infinite closet space. These were recently done, the floors and walls are a little outdated but the management is actively working on the units. Living room is enough for my sofa, TV, desk, and a 6 person table. Sort of dark, there aren't many windows. No pets or BBQs allowed.
