Flatts at South Campus

I have stayed at Flatts for four years and i'll recommend them to any graduate student in need of housing. They are very responsive, and they listen to your concerns. Maintenance is carried out on time and they communicate via email if they intend to have an apartment-wide maintenance for all the buildings. My only problem is that the apartment is quite pricey, especially the one-bedrooms.

Just an Average Place to Live, Nothing Special

The flatts is super close to the law school and the commute is easy. Only downfall is parking is a nuisance.

Decently sized and reasonably priced apartments. Nothing too glamorous but it’s just enough for what I need.

On paper, it seems like a great deal! The opportunity for a one bedroom, all utilities included (minus electricity), and pet friendly.
Reality:

• You do not have assigned parking. Good luck finding a space during game day weekends.
• They have a deal with Bandit Towing. Bandit is RELIGIOUS about patrolling the lot every night and always leaves with at least one car. You can get towed if: Your parking decal cannot be seen through a tinted window at 11PM. If the office closed before you can get your visitor a parking pass. If your tires are grazing the line of a space. They will NOT tell you that they took your car and will charge you extra for breathing. The apartment complex will shrug and say, “Good luck, buddy!”
• Pet friendly is a loose term. The apartment complex allows everything (dogs in the pool, off leash dogs, restricted breeds) until someone anonymously reports you. If your dog barks for a 30 minutes at 11:30 on a Wednesday, be prepared to pay a $50 fine.
• You can not get extra keys made to your apartment.
• You can not get anything fixed here. Call the office and they’ll tell you to put in a maintenance request. Put in a maintenance request and they’ll email back 30-minutes later saying that they, “Came by and fixed it.” Meanwhile, you’ve been standing in your kitchen since making the request, and unless they guy climbed in your third story window? It was not fixed.
• All of the good reviews on Google are written by the people that work in the office.

TL;DR: Overpriced shoebox with shotty appliances, rude staff, and a neglectful management company. You can do much better for the money!!

Just an Average Place to Live, Nothing Special

As a graduate student who has got most of the wild nights and weekends out of my system, this property is worth what you pay for. It is not a loud place to live and you have enough of the amenities to keep busy and entertained. The staff is friendly and helpful. I personally have never had any major issue living here. I do live alone so I do not have any experience with roommate matching or issues that may stem from having roommates. The only downside for me is the grounds/hallways are not kept as clean as other places I have lived or personally expect. But I have to admit I am a neat freak.

The apartment complex is good but the management can be frustrating at time and may not tell you all that you need to know until you become a full resident.

l wish l could enjoy the apartment more than this. l will appreciate it if the school could get me a more befitting accommodation as a Graduate student.

You're responsivle only for your rent and nothing else. The staff are friendly and the rooms are good
