The Links at Kansas

My experience at the Links has been good. I've lived here all three all years and don't have any complaints. My rent did get raised in the second year by $100. Other than that, no other issues. Management is responsive.

Maintenance is very responsive, amenities are useful. I have had no issues here.

This apartment is great for someone who needs a quiet place to study and live. The complex is close enough to K-10/I-70 to make commuting quick, but not too close to be overly loud. This complex houses college students, post-grad students, families, and even some elderly folks, so there is a lot of variety in neighbors.
This isn't the cheapest apartment you'll find, but for what you're getting it's still a very good apartment. The units are new and have new appliances, you only really share walls with two other units, and you're in Lawrence. Topeka does not have the best renting scene, and this place is as close to Topeka as you can get without having to be in Shawnee County.

Quality Apt Complex farther out from main campus

Apartment is nice

I honestly have no major complaints, I love the apartment. It is spacious, the amenities are nice, my neighbors are nice. Only downside is it is pretty far from campus, relatively speaking to other apartments. But, there are a lot of benefits with the location too.

It's a pretty good place to live.

Pros:
- Relatively new construction
- Great access to trails and sidewalks
- Maintenance is (usually) quick and always friendly
- Easy parking
- I highly recommend getting a patio with a golf course view, if you can.

Cons:
- The lighting isn't great, so be prepared to invest in lamps if that's important to you (we have a West-facing window, so the afternoon lighting is good).
- Not super well-insulated, so it gets drafty in the Winter
- Not a ton of storage

Moved in when it was a new building. It has slowly become a bit less nice. Quiet and family friendly, nice location (if you want to be a bit away from most student housing). The apartment management is not super friendly or helpful and it lacks a sense of community. Not good if you rely on public transit. Rent is cheap and has not increased since we moved in four years ago.

The apartment has nice amenities, and is a nice place to live. However, you definitely are paying for what you get as it's a bit pricey. Still, the price is a good reflection of how nice the apartment itself is, plus access to a great pool and gym. It's a generally quiet complex, as well.
