University Partners

Overall, it's good. I like the convenience as it is so close to the UVA Law School.

A lot of maintenance going on always, very noisy and little noise control between apartments or from the outside. Staff is unresponsive and unhelpful most of the time. But otherwise, it's an okay apartment and convenient for school -- just way overpriced and falling apart.

The location is so nice because it's right by the barracks shopping center, the law school, and the business school. It's mostly students, which is awesome if you're a student. The amenities are amazing, including study rooms, a printer, a gym, a pool, fire pits, a dog park, and in-unit laundry (this last one is huge!). Sometimes things break, and it takes a little bit to fix. For example, the elevator broke and was out for WEEKS. But if something breaks in the apartment, they're pretty good about fixing/replacing it.

Please be aware that every year for the past three years apartments in this building have flooded due to broken pipes. This is a yearly and recurring problem. Residents have had to relocate while their apartments are torn up due to flooding. The building claims to do mold remediation but clearly paints over walls where water had leaked without remediating the potential moisture/mold. Management are not sympathetic or responsive when these events occur.

The pavilion is an unbeatable location for law / business students. This is the main selling point. Other than location, the price makes little to no sense.

People usually say Pav sucks and I understand where they are coming from. But where I am coming from, I used to live in a curtained off living room so it's very nice to me. And coming from Los Angeles, it's actually only $100-$200 more per month than I was paying to live in the living room. Yes, there are cheaper options around here. But I like the safety of living on the 4th floor, nice covered parking, and gym access. Proximity to school is important to me. They are always on it for fixing broken things. I will say some major issues are the constantly broken main elevator and sometimes just major floods/leaks. I know that really badly affected a handful of students I know. The mailroom at times is also horribly unorganized and I've lost mail there for sure. But I know of this and send important packages elsewhere.

Comfortable, though expensive

The location is unbeatable and it is the nicest close option. With that being said the management is bad, the elevator is always broken, and it seems there is a major plumbing issue every year. The maintenance is fast.

Not the best management, but it's furnished and in a good location. Super convenient being so close to the law school plus Barracks, and also very convenient to be living in proximitiy with many other law students. Overall very comfortable place to live.

Management is horrible and shady. Overpriced for the area. But the amenities are nice and distance to school is great.

The Pav is definitely expensive for what you get, but you're ultimately paying for convenience. It's walking distance to both the Law School and Darden, and it comes furnished. I haven't had any issues, but when I do have small things that needed fixing, maintenance is quick and responsive.
It has covered parking and in-unit laundry, which is hard to come by in the area that is walking distance to the school.
No real complaints.

Pav is a great place if you study at the law school a lot and want to avoid paying for a school parking pass, but sometimes management is not responsive/does not answer emails and frequently doors will be propped open.

This apartment is a convenient place to live, but not much more. It is way too expensive for what you get, but with a dog and without a car, I have few other options. There are many frequent and recurring issues: elevators not operating, flooding, etc. I also have not had particularly great experiences with management, either.

Overall, good enough for a student. It's more expensive than other buildings in the area and I don't think that much greater value. There are constant issues with the elevator being out for weeks which would be annoying if you lived on the 5th floor, but otherwise maintenance is really responsive when there is an issue. Amenities are nice enough, have a package room which is nice when it is organized, and its close to shopping/essentials. Wouldn't say it's a good bang for your buck but it works.

It is convenient, short walk from the law school, but a little more expensive than other options. The management company also is not always too timely with maintenance requests. But, there are lots of facilities, study spaces, gym.
