Ironworks Ithaca

I like living here. It’s further from campus but a 7 min walk to the bus stop or if you have a car, it’s negligible

Great building with affordable price

Good place in terms of quality, space, and price.

Ironworks is a great building. The apartments have great space, and common areas such as the gym, study area, etc. are amazing. It is a pet friendly building. However, you need to consider that it is a bit far, the closest bus stop is 2 long blocks away (around 8 min walking) and that the area is not the best (some community centers around).

Love the building, love my apartment!
Not a great location. There area feels unsafe at times mainly due to the homeless people and recovering addicts and some people who are drinking and smoking at all hours of the day including 10am. But it's mainly at night that I don't like to walk home alone. Although there are bus stations nearby the bus either isn't running when you need it to or the bus stops at the commons and will not continue to the goodwill stop which is 6 minutes from the building. YOU NEED A CAR!
Management is fine and but the add ons are expensive. You pay for water and electric which is around $80 a month. I pay for storage for an additional $75. And the most ridiculous fee is parking for $300 a month.

Pros:
-Great restaurants and coffee shops nearby
-Downtown proximity
-Great lounge space to hang out and host parties in
-Nice home appliances
-Large closet space

Cons:
-The W State Road is sketchy with scary-looking people
-Noise!! Garbage Truck in the morning, really loud
-Gym has lots of fancy equipment like Peletons but relatively small
-Coffee machine has been broken for a month and still not fixed
-40 mins to commute to Sage by bus

The apartment is relatively new and have all the amenities. It has very spacious closets, nice bathrooms, very friendly management, etc. However, the neighborhood is a bit sketchy during nights, so if you are a girl walking alone after midnight, I would recommend taking Uber.

Good but expensive

Love my apartment and the building amenities. Unsafe area!!! Far walk from the commons and cannot walk to campus. You need a car and the price for parking is astronomical.
