Fairview

From the moment I moved in it was a nightmare. They didn't have my apartment ready on time and forgot that it was a furnished unit. Their team was visibly upset when they had to move furniture to the apartment and were extremely unprofessional (they slammed the furniture down and broke the flooring, remains to be seen if they try charging me for this). The furniture was also infested with spiders.

The biggest problem by far is the heat remaining on 24x7 (even in the summer). And they cannot (or will not) turn it off. There is no thermostat in unit and there is no AC in the bedroom either to compensate. The common areas are filthy. There are 0 amenities, no gym, no laundry in unit and the front desk (not gonna take names) doesn't really have a clue whats going on 99% of the time and will require you to follow up multiple times for things to happen.

The whole vibe of the place is that they are doing you a favor by letting you stay in this dump. You are better off paying a little extra and moving to collegetown or downtown. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

I live in a townhouse style apt, so there are 2 floors: bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs, living room & bathroom are on the first level. There is a lot of space, which is one of my favorite things about the apt. Our apt was also recently remodeled, so we have new appliances and cabinets. We asked for the apt to be furnished, which came at no extra cost.

There are only 3 downsides with the apartment. One bedroom has the AC and it is the only AC unit in the apt. It's enough to cool down to whole apt, but can be an inconvenience for the person in the bedroom. Second, there is a lot of space, but not a lot of storage space. The last one is the entry door and back door are not very secure on their own. The area is safe, but the doors are not enough for complete peace of mind.

Awful building, awful management and awful mattresses

Pricey but good location

Old but good location

It's a good location to be in for walking to Sage or Breazzano for classes. The apartment is spacious and has a good amount of storage for a 1 bed/1 bath. I also like that they are pet friendly and a relatively quiet building. The only downsides are that it is an older building and does not have a full gym.

+ close to campus. For MBAs, this is as close to Sage Hall as you can get. 10-15 min walk
+ a lot of graduate students live in this area so it is very easy to social.
+ they have a partnership with spectrum so you get tv service (including showtime) for free but there is a $5 monthly charge for internet if you have to rent the modem
+ maintenance is very responsive

-interiors are not as cute as other apartments in the area.
- more expensive than you would think.
-parking is an extra charge.
-they say there is a gym but it is just one treadmill and like 4 stationary bikes... so hopefully you like cardio
- they say apartments are renovated but a good amount of them are NOT. thus a lot of the apartments look like they are straight out of the 90s.

Overall nice place to live. The building is a little old but the maintenance and leasing office are nice. The main issue is that my rent increased by about $200 for my unit so I think it’s expensive

Fairview Apartment

The apartment itself is perfect. Large windows, large closets, little noise from neighbors, and a clean (if a little apartment-core) setup. The building, however, is a bit worn. The elevator’s sketchy. The laundry room is a little dingy. The hallway’s giving dorm that hasn’t been renovated (or scrubbed) since ‘98. But I like the management and the location’s good so no real complaints.
