The Broadview at Vanderbilt

The amenities are great- you are less than a 10 minute walk from the university, there is a gym and a coffeeshop. It does feel designed for students (as it is for graduate students). All the utilities are included and there are furnished plans available. The area itself, Midtown offers plenty of local restaurants and bars.

However, it is pricy. Very unfortunate.

This is a brand-new apartment building as of 2023. I paid extra for a furnished studio, and the refrigerator was broken within a month and a half of move-in. We were promised that a coffee shop and grocery store would be complete before the school year began; the coffee shop opened the third week of October and the grocery store is currently a pile of gravel.
The electricity has gone off for extended periods of time at least thrice. The internet is spotty at best and sometimes will go out entirely for an hour, particularly on the weekends. The walls and windows are so thin I can hear music from bars two blocks away. The floor is so thin that moving a chair in the apartment above me sounds like someone is dropping a bowling ball. The heating and air conditioning are on a floor-democracy plan where whichever has more people attempting to set their thermostats to it is what everyone's thermostat is forced to be at. Management is evasive at best with complaints.
According to my friends at The Broadview, I've had an impressively painless experience.
The location is perfect, and the amenities (when functional) are really nice. We have a wonderful, cohesive community (mostly due to frustration bonding). But I'm moving out when my lease is up.

The apartment is brand new, so the appliances are updated and the building is very clean. The only downside is that these apartments are very small compared to other similarly priced apartments in the area. I do, however, really like that mostly students live in this complex. Any maintenance issues were fixed promptly. The walls seem to be well insulated, because I never hear people when I'm in my apartment. Depending on what side of the building you are on, the street noise/bar noise can be pretty loud.

A Great Place to Live in Close to Campus

I've had a good experience. I love the study spaces and the gym. There have been some small issues with pipes, but I think that's just because it's a new building. It is a little noisy with the nearby music, but I like listening to it!

The room is tiny. Not worth the money. I woke up from my neighbor's washing machine running every night because the walls are so thin. One of the lights doesn't work upon move-in. The closet only has a curtain as a "door" and is right in front of the stove within 1 foot. public areas are constantly freezing cold. feel like working in a fridge. horrible experience and I will not recommend it to anybody

Staff is fantastic. It is nice living in a place with other Vanderbilt students, and there are monthly events to get to know other residents. Maintenance is helpful. Facilities are new and clean. Parking is through a Vanderbilt parking pass.

There's genuinely so many problems with this complex — I absolutely regret signing here and wish I had the means to break my lease. The management is rude and disrespectful and the apartment reeks of shoddy workmanship. My apartment is brand new, and I'm the first person to live here, but literally everything in my apartment is damaged. I'm constantly having issues with my AC and other appliances, and the maintenance men won't fix it.

Studio is tiny but works if you don’t plan on having lots of guests

I have enjoyed my time living here so far. Very convenient to campus. Whenever there are problems, things are communicated well.
