Functional, zero hassle

I have lived in the same studio for 4 years. There has been one problem with the building where I was asked to vacate (leaking pipe meant they had to open up the ceiling and there were asbestos concerns). Management was beyond stellar. They put me up in a nearby hotel and comped me 1 month's rent. Other than that, nobody bothers me and I never worry about things getting turned upside down. Super professional, efficient, and reliable. Can't beat the location.

Bad Management

The price was low because the apartments are old and small, and being on the west side of the south quad meant that it was relatively safe, and walking to class was easy even in the snow, because the campus paths are cleared and salted regularly.

However, the management was terrible, and apparently the management company (located in Miami, FL) was eventually made aware of this, and during the 18 months I lived there the entire management office went through two total employee turnovers. I only had minimal contact with the 3rd group of employees at the end of my stay, so I can't say for sure that they're as terrible at their job as their predecessors, but I'm not going to risk staying there again when I get back from my semester abroad.

About University Circle

Located just outside of downtown, it is a great spot to live where you are not directly in the hustle and bustle but can choose to be when wanted with accessible public transportation.

The neighborhood mostly consists of students and professionals and is in close proximity to the Little Italy neighborhood.

Love being close to school and lots of food options nearby.

Great place to live with lots of places to eat and cultural amenities like the art museum and orchestra. Easy to get to campus/the hospitals without having to drive. Biggest con is that the only grocery store is very expensive.
Reviewed by Student living at One University Circle
The building is in between two large hospitals, Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, making it very easy for me to get to class/rotations. It is generally safe. The Case Western Reserve University police and Cleveland Clinic patrol the area almost constantly, and I have always felt secure. Additionally, I am close to museums, coffee shops, libraries, bars, and nice places to eat, study, and hang out.

It's a wonderful neighborhood - walking distance to all the museums, botanical gardens, and some of the best restaurants in Cleveland. Also walking distance to a couple coffee shops and the CWRU library and student center, so ideal for studying. The best part: < 5 min commute to school and you get to avoid Cedar coming down the hill.

Living in University Circle while in law school has made a stressful experience pleasant and less complicated. The walk to campus (which is in University Circle) is fabulous - not having to battle hospital traffic and find parking is great. There's a Constantino's Market that provides all grocery needs. University Circle has a diverse range of food options - from upscale dining at L'Albatros, to comfort food in Little Italy, to fast casual in Uptown, you could probably eat somewhere different every night for a month, all within walking distance.

University Circle is THE hub for cultural activity in Cleveland. The Cleveland Museum of Art is my favorite place in the Circle. It has fabulous permanent exhibits and brings in wonderful temporary exhibitions. The museum hosts social events that are perfect for young people more than once a month. The Circle also contains Severance Hall - home of the Cleveland Orchestra, the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, the Natural History Museum, and more!

The area is fairly safe as it is heavily patrolled by UCPD and Campus Police. Ambulances frequent the area to get to the hospital, but that is the only noise complaint I've ever heard of.

I couldn't be happier about living right in University Circle during law school.

There's always places to eat or grab some groceries nearby and is close to campus. Meaning there's also lots of shuttles in walking distance to get where you need to go.

neighbors are friendly, though due to the location and the vast majority of the people living in the building are working or going to school, rarely see neighbors. The most active time with people in the building are on Friday nights through Saturday night.
