Asset living

This is my first year here and I graduate soon, but I'd stay another if I were still going to be in Bloomington. The apartments are big and nice. The location is great as it is around downtown Bloomington, walkable to IU, and there is a bus pickup right across the street.

It’s been ok. It can be managed better though, but it does the job.

The building is quiet, has a great view and the rooms are spacious. I like that every room has its own bathroom. I also value the safety here. The only downside to living here is the distance to campus which the shuttle compensates for.

4th street has its kinks but it works very well for me

This is definitely more of an undergraduate apartment but the location is great and so are the amenities! The staff is very kind and responsive. It is also a bit more expensive than I would have liked (parking is $150 per month) but it is worth it for the convenience

The management at Stratum has been great. There have been a few problems with mold and/or plumbing but the maintenance has taken care of every issue I have had. There are also some loud people, but that just seems to be part of the college living experience. Management does their best to make Stratum a very comfortable place to live. There are also bus stops on both sides of the property, making the transit to campus a breeze. The one bedroom apartments are huge with a giant bathroom. My cat and I have plenty of space for all of my belongings. I wish there was pest control and the breezeways were cleared more often, but that is one of my few complaints. Closets are huge and plenty of storage.

I have enjoyed living there. It is a bit far from campus (about a 10 min drive) but very close to several restaurants and grocery stores, as well as shopping and a great local bookstore and pottery studio all within walking distance. It is right next to a forest preserve which does mean the occassional woods beetle or spider, but never had an actual pest problem, and the preserve provides a great view and nice walking path. In-unit washer/dryer is a lifesaver. Maintenance is very responsive with fast and quality repairs. Not a ton of windows, but the ones I do have are big.

Great location (with proximity to tasty restaurants), and utilities and furniture are included in the rent. There are some issues with the apartment (e.g. faulty AC installation... can't permanently fix it without tearing out all the wiring in the apartment) but the maintenance team is very responsive and always there for a band-aid fix. Peaceful environment overall!

The rooms here are spacious and really comfortable. I only wish it was closer to campus but the shuttle makes up for that.

The property is fine for student housing and it is close to campus.

Management will lie to your face so be sure you have everything in writing or on record.
Tons of maintenance issues from water damage, trash, bugs, and more and expect to wait weeks or a month for things to be addressed.
Landscape is poorly managed and dirty and parking at your place can be packed during week days.

Gym is pathetic, 2 old treadmills that either don't work or belt sticks and causes you to trip.

Units don't retain heat and Heater doesn't work well. Bill will be over $300 a month.
Lastly, they don't have a good package/shipping system. They lose packages all the time and sometimes they are even stolen or left outside.

One of the best things about this apartment is noise level, there is sound isolation, so I do not hear any sounds from other apartments. The area of residence is safe. It is 10 minutes driving to university.

Living at a landfill site would be better because at least living amongst trash wouldn’t cost $2,000/month. My bedroom floods each time it rains, maintenance cancels work orders, management is nonexistent, security doesn’t exist, and there is trash EVERYWHERE. Forget grounds maintenance; this place has dog poop and pee in the stairwells, garbage lining the halls, and wet carpet throughout the building. The lobby is deceiving and the pictures of the pool are fake. The pools was closed the last 1.5 years I lived here. Please take your money anywhere else.

Had a really hard time moving in. Learned the hard way to make sure you have everything in writing or recorded. Management will lie and tell you things over the phone and bait and switch when you arrive. Tons of maintenance requests sent about heater not working in winter, and electricity/internet issues and they take weeks to get back to you. Gym is a joke. Treadmills don't work and the space is tiny.

The apartment itself is quite large and my room is definitely cozy. It has a super nice pool and gym! My only wishes were that it had study rooms! Other than that 4th street is a very good place to live and super close to campus!
